It is Monday.....again

This past Saturday I went on a little shopping trip.  Some of the ladies at church were going to a cloth store in another town.  I felt like I needed to get out and needed to socialize some so I signed up to go.

I didn't realise that they were going to a cloth store 2 hours away.  Why in the world would you drive 2 hours to buy some material?  We took the church van, got stuck in traffic going -- and coming back home.

I can sew a little and still have a sewing machine.  I wasn't going to buy fabric and I am glad.  I would have never been able to choose what to buy.  I have never seen such a huge selection of fabric.  How much?  Lets just say the store even had a drink and snack machine!

I do have an odd thing about buttons and I found some great ones to buy.  Ok, the button thing.  After my grandmother died I remembered she had a big jar of buttons.  I don't know what happened to that jar but I wanted it.  Couldn't have it since no one can find it so I have been working on my own little collection of buttons.  Well there are 3 collections really.  Don't laugh at me!  One collection is buttons that are of things (like rabbits, flowers, cats, etc...) that I was drawn to, the 2nd collection is some of the same type but I use them on the cards I make (I cut off the backs first), and the 3rd collection is just pretty buttons, pretty colors, etc that I keep in my "granny" (that is what I called my grandmother) jar.  That collection is just something that brings back memories and I like the way it looks just sitting there.

So I bought myself some buttons that will divide into all 3 collections.  We stopped for lunch on the way back.  B wanted to stop at this Italian place but it wasn't open.  V and I sighed a hugh sigh of relief.  We ened up at a steak house called Texas Roadhouse.  The food was good but expensive.

After we got back on the highway R decided to take a different route back because of the congestion on the way down.  Well that way wasn't any better.  Worse if you ask me.  So we are crawling along and I look out the back window.  I just know that guy isn't going to stop.  He stopped.  He stopped all right.  When his truck (pickup) hit the back of our van he stopped.  No one was hurt, not even our van.  His truck had a nice size dent though.

So, how was your weekend?
