On Sunday morning we made a big breakfast in the MH with eggs, bacon and fried potatoes. It was excellent. We hung out in the MH and took the kitties out in the strollers.
Then on Monday morning we went to the yarn shop. Friends and Fiberworks. The owner, Lisa was away with a yarn group on a cruise to the UK, Scotland, England and Ireland. What a lucky girl. The people in the shop were so nice and helpful in answering questions and finding what I was looking for. I bought a few skeins of yarn, but the shop was just overwhelming with 4000 sq ft of yarn. And the place was packed full.
After that we went to Home Depot to buy a new faucet for the bathroom. The old one worked fine, but every time you disconnected from the city water it got air in the line, of course and the next time you turned the water on, it blew water all over you until the air ran out. We were tired of being wet. The new one is much nicer.
Abby has certainly made herself at home in the MH. She is very relaxed now.
And, she loves sleeping on the steps to get a nice breeze and fresh air.
She and Bentley are getting along better. In the past when we had 3 kitties, they always seemed to get along better in the MH than at home for some reason.
On Tuesday morning we went to Asheville Cotton, a quilt shop here in Asheville. I had been here once before when Chattanooga Quilts did a quilt bus tour last year and this was the shop in Asheville that we visited. It is a very nice shop. I found a few fat quarters for a quilt I'd like to make, and David found a cute little kitty panel with coordinating fat quarters. The people in the shop were all super helpful.
In the afternoon, Bentley went for a nice walk in the stroller and saw a few squirrels. he sure loves his stroller rides. Afterward I decided to get out the sewing machine and work on the quilt shop sunflower sample quilt for the shop. I made about 6 blocks and put it away for now. I just need more workspace to trim the blocks. I'll finish it when I get home.
For dinner, we went to Haus Heidelburg, a Germain restaurant for dinner that Cindy had recommended.
The food was excellent and there was lots of it. David ordered the sausage sampler which came with 1/2 sausage links of all of their sausages, red cabbage and hot potato salad. I ordered the Octoberfest Sampler, which was way too much, but included, 2 sausages, hot potato salad, red cabbage, sauerkraut, spaetzle and a large piece of sauerbraten. Everything was so good, except the sauerkraut. The taste was a little too strong for me, but the sauerbraten was to die for. I forgot to take a picture of my meal, but this is what was left at the end to bring home. Good grief, enough for 2 people.
It was a good day.
