We started off right....at Cracker Barrel!! LOL Gotta get some food in ya to shop...
yummmy chicken pot pie for 2, and chicken strip salad for 1.. Then we were out of there and to here....
Got some lovely fabrics...
Abbie's Christmas quilt fabric...
fabric for a quilt guild charity quilt...
Polka dots to go with upholstery cotton for a purse....
and FINALLY, these are MINE...ALL MINE....I will make myself a lap quilt....
Then off to AppleTree Quilting Center where Bev bought some Doggie Christmas fabric and Veronica bought a book. Me?? Nothing jumped at me...
It's now 2pm and we are already tired...are we old or what??? lol
Driving home...talking...laughing... then BOOM!! Off to the left a sheriff turns on his lights. Veronica quickly pulls over to let him pass. NO NO NO...he is pulling in behind her!! What did she do?? NOTHING!!! He walks up to the car, glances in at all us old women and asks for her insurance card and license.. Asks her "Did you see the speed limit sign for the construction area?". "no", she says. "where did you get on the highway?" he wants to know. "um...back there at the other highway".
"well, you should have seen all of the 35 MPH signs for the construction area, I clocked you at 56" uh oh She was NOT going that fast. We were coming up a hill and she had slowed down cause we could see the dang construction workers out there and the little STOP/SLOW sign.... He takes her stuff, says "wait here" and goes back to the car. We now start talking like a bunch of crows.
He won't write you a ticket.
Whens the last time you had a ticket?
oh, that long? He won't write you a ticket.
What is taking him so long?
I never saw a 35 MPH sign.
Me neither.
I saw a "no center stripe" sign.
Me too, but no 35 MPH sign.
He's taking too long for no ticket.
What IS he doing back there.
Someone once told me you aren't supposed to turn around and stare at the cop in the car while he is doing whatever he is doing. It makes them mad...we sure don't want him mad.
Oh, here he comes...
SIGN HERE!!! Oh, shoot...a ticket...DANG NAB IT!!
we very s-l-o-w-l-e-y drove off.
Sorry, "V", we all agree there shouldn't have been a ticket. A warning, yes, maybe, but not a ticket...very unfair...
Well, I am off to the sewing room to get something done today...I'll be sure and walk slowly....
Happy Sewing,
Nancy
