Well, that was fun!

As we were starting our drive home we realized that we had to alter our 4-day drive to a 3-day drive to avoid arriving home in the snow. The original plan was to spend the second night in Texarkana so we could watch the Super Bowl from the hotel. Instead we (Chris) drove straight through to Nashville. I watched the game on my cell phone and Chris had to listen. My excited screams kept him from getting drowsy. I'm sorry for any KC fans, but that was a textbook beatdown and I'm so happy for this team. 

A friend offered to drive me to Philly for the parade Friday but the last thing I want to do right now is get in a car. I'll watch on YouTube or TV. But, boy, was that exciting!
​

We drove 10 more hours to get home about 5pm Monday and I'm so glad we didn't wait until Tuesday to try to get home in this! We certainly wouldn't have made it in Chris' car. We did get home early enough Monday that I was able to watch the game again on the big TV and it was even more fun because there were less commercials and inconsequential plays and timeouts were cut. I'll watch it again for sure.
​

Most of Tuesday was spent putting everything away and doing laundry. When I unpack, I try to put things away read for the next trip. So I restock my toiletries bag and my travel kitchen supplies bag. But, honestly, I wasted most of the day on social media reading about the victory. Yes, I'm that kind of fan.
​

I did do a tiny bit of sewing. This is Chris' favorite shirt. It has to be 30 years old and he took it on vacation! I decided to offer to fix it so he can keep wearing it but only if he promised to only wear it around the house or working outside. 

He agreed so I did a rough patch job. There were about 10 smaller places that I also "fixed". I don't, for a minute, believe that he will not wear this in public. I bet that it shows up on our Maine vacation.
​

Tomorrow I'm going to try to stay off the internet and get the rest of this veterans quilt sewn together so I can start quilting it. Then I need to start on a baby quilt that would be nice to finish before the shower on March 8.
By the way, does anyone know why showers are called "sprinkles" now? I've been invited to a sprinkle, not a shower. WTH?

I did do quite a bit of crochet in the car. I need to measure this one but I think it's almost done. It's a wheelchair leg blanket.
​

I got this much of the shawl made. I'm a little burned out on crochet for the moment but I'll probably be back to it in a few days. I'd like to do mostly sewing this week. I certainly won't be going anywhere today!
