All in a Lunch Hour

What would a quilting blog be
without a crazy adventure to report
every now and then.

On Monday it was a gorgeous day.
After a crazy busy weekend
I was almost looking forward to Monday
in order to recoup a bit.
:)

So I packed a salad for my lunch
and planned on sewing the binding on my quilt
during my lunch hour.

Well, lunch time came,
I grabbed my salad from the frig,
sat down at my desk,
and got a text on my phone.
It was my sister.
"Lunch?" she text.
I replied
"Yep!"

So she then called and wanted to know if I 
would like to go for a drive over my lunch
since she was in town.
It was a beautiful day.
Well...."sure", I said.

I packed up my salad and met her in the parking lot.

Here's where there adventure starts.
We drove around the country roads.
Never paying attention to any signs.


OR the fact that it had just rained
ALL
NIGHT
LONG

"Gee, this road doesn't look bad.  We can make it"


Famous last words.



"What are we going to do?", she says.
"Do you have ***** Insurance?", I asked
"Yep"
"Then you have free towing."

The Rocky dance is now being performed.


And a memory is created

With a mark only Thelma & Louise would be proud of.


Oh yeah...
and we made darn sure to follow this fella out of the road.


Yep....
all in a lunch hour.

Make today count folks!
xoxo

That was a busy lunch hour! Something tells me this isn't the first time the sisters have gotten stuck in an adventure and needed a little help. :)

WOW you two got into a scrape .......all you wanted was lunch and a little quiet sewing :)))

Well that sounds like a very exciting sort of lunch hour. Too bad you didnt bring the quilt with you. You could have done the binding while you were waiting for the tow truck to arrive !
