VACATION DAY 1

 

 

Packed the van last night after a full turkey dinner with the family and left home at 5:30 am the next day!   It took us about 9 - 9 1/2 hours to get to... Quality Inn Exit 4:  (3095 Wilma Rudolph Blvd, Clarksville, TN, US, 37040).  Our hotel room nice and clean and the staff were helpful;)  Our ultimate destination is Key West, FL...and then loop back home by Christmas. 

 

We have settled down to aged cheese, apples, turkey, sausage and crackers and Jim and Dad Kahl are having a "toddy" while I am drinking my water.  I've been struggling with a bad sinus infection and am taking it easy and healing well with antibiotics. 

 

I felt bad leaving behind my daughter and our 2 grand kids - they are sick too and she could have used some help with them through the week after daycare. 

 

The van was comfortable but the wind made it sway slightly.  Thank our Lord that we have already received warmer weather.  When we left this morning our home town had a "windchill" high of 15 degrees Fahrenheit. When we arrived in Clarksville it was 55 degrees Fahrenheit and the wind had settled down; tomorrow it is suppose to be 57!

 

Tomorrow we will be heading to Lake Park, GA.  No touristy sites for today - just rest, snacks and some telly. 

Make a Window Frame with your Punches!

I added this video because I feel that sometimes we forget that we really need to utilize our punches! There are so many things we can do with them.  Pull out the paper punches and browse the web and magazines/books for creative ways for using them.  Now, I also believe that we don't use our "Thing-a-ma-jig as much as we should either (for those of use who rubber stamp).  I found this "how to" video on YouTube and hope that it will help you to understand this helpful tool.

How to Use a "Thing-a-ma-jig)!





CREATIVITY

Creativity is a drug I cannot live without. - Cecil B. DeMille

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you its going to be a butterfly. - Buckminster Fuller

Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of the creative effort.

We should consider every day lost, on which we have not danced at least once. - Friedrich Nietzsche




OH, we saw Robins! so pretty...



'til next time,
