We are back home from our six day get-a-way.
The weather was perfect. We had enough time out of the car to make up for the hours spent sitting and driving.
While we were away, we traveled through New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts and Connecticut. I managed to find at least one geocache in each state we passed through.
Now that we are home again, the grass has all been cut, the laundry wrestled into submission and the house put back into some sort of order, I can get back to working on my quilting.
This week I need to finish a few items to enter into our local fair. Several quilts are already ready and a few small projects should be wrapped up this week.
The plan is also to be back here a little more frequently.

That one is being hand quilted, with a hoop. It's been too hot to work on, meanwhile I have another one on my floor frame that is almost half quilted.

I don't think I've spent a whole day away from home let alone a week, I hope you had fun but I'll bet you're glad to be home.

I don't envy the situation you're in @Morleyhunt and am so glad you're getting some R&R between all the caregiving you do.

@rebelann we do what we need to do. The house is sold....that is behind us. That alone simplified things a lot. It also brought along some new problems, but we deal with them as they arise. Sometimes having a willing ear to listen makes everything run more smoothly.

The two outings together totalled ten days. It was a great chance to get away from the day to day worries.

Well it looks like you finally did make it back, but maybe not on days that I was around since I just saw you elsewhere tonight. Nice quilt there. I've been in all those states except Maine, although for a few of them it was only traveling through to get to the other side. There was no geocaching back then. Interesting reason to go through each state. Is there a general list on their site of all the current locations of each geocache? I didn't realize so many places were into that already.

I go to geocaching.com and look at maps. Then I plan which ones to visit. If I will be travelling g where I have no data on my phone I will save them for offline use. This trip, I had purchased a handheld GPS so my daughter helped me load the caches.
Geocaches are located on every continent. There is one on the space station(don't imagine that one has too many logs).

Hope you do well with your quilts? I guess it's a competition?

Yes it is a competition. Last year I took several first place ribbons and the overall ribbon in the quilting section. It would be great if I could do that again. There is a nice prize associated with the overall winning ribbon.

@Morleyhunt Well done you. I got Champion Crochet Exhibit one year at an agricultural show. And my friend got the Knitting Exhibit.

That is a pretty quilt!
I would love to travel those same states and I will one day, sooner than later.

This summer I've had two get-a-way weekends. I geocached both weekends and visited these state a few weeks earlier...Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin.

@Morleyhunt And you didn't come to see me in Michigan? Well, I never. Actually, I was probably working anyway. Are those two trips the most states you've ever visited?
