Back from Becca's

We had such a good time at Crop for a Cause!!! And it's SOOOOO good to see all our Nebraska friends!

Got picked up at 4:50 am {otherwise known as O-dark-50} and were checked in and through security by 5:45am for our 6:30 am flight. Had to pay to check luggage which is a real bummer since we thought we had checked Northwest's baggage policy BEFORE we booked the tix. Slept part of the way to Minneapolis, had a great breakfast at Ike's in the airport, and then it was on to Omaha. We first went to the Quilted Moose in Gretna, then to find our hotel and check in. Decided we needed a nap before heading to the church to help out. Got to the church about 4:30. Lots of fun catching up with everyone and checking out the garage sale. Ended up with a box full of stuff to purchase; dinner was homemade soup and pumpkin bars for dessert.



It's Saturday!!! Time to crop and shop and chat and eat! We actually got pages done! We took the page swap from Scrap Etc. and that made the whole process easier for extra paper, embellishments, etc. We shared a table with Nancy and her friend Julie and got to sit next to the "Bagels". Had a great time talking with Kelly, her sister Tami, Becky N., Lisa {aka Glue}, and Denise. And we got to eat Becca's mom's cinnamon rolls and pie! We were all cleaned up and out by 9:30 and went back to Becca's until after midnight.




Slept in on Sunday {at least for us}, met Becca for lunch, and then hit Archivers, Hancocks, and another quilt shop they recommended before heading back to the airport. Our bags just made it on weight. On the way back we changed in Detroit---had some serious hiking to do between gates. Grabbed some cinnamon buns to eat on the plane since it had been a long time since lunch and even longer until breakfast! Got back to Philly at 11:00pm and home before midnight.

Monday was a long day----worked 7am until 12:45pm then back for 7pm until 12:15am. Gotta love inventory!

Enjoy,

Janet
