Missouri Star, Part 4

Our day in Hamilton was coming to an end. We'd arrived, had lunch, shopped for fabric, visited every fabulous store in town. But the shops close at 5:00 -- and our trip isn't even half over...

But it's time to get back on the bus

With our new chums, Gail and Lisa

(really -- these MSQ murals are amazing...the little boys blowing bubbles...!!so sweet...)

We went out for supper (to a Golden Corral) -- and then landed at our brand new motel for the night.

We all brought in our bags...

I was very proud of my newly decorated bag!!

I didn't get pictures of EVERYTHING we did. Thank God, there are no actual photos of the three of us in the motel swimming pool...and, also there are no pictures of the six of us playing THE BEST HOTEL GAME EVER...

Gail and Lisa caught on FAST...we laughed so hard -- well, my theory is that real belly-laughing ADDS time to your life. And if that's true -- the six of us gave ourselves another month on this earth that night. At least. (and the wine helped -- thanks, Linda P.!)

And -- WE HAVE ANOTHER WHOLE DAY LEFT YET..!!

How could this trip get any better??
