I have been MIA from the blogging world for most of January and the first week of February.
I have been on vacation! I was doing what many Canadians have been doing for years–escaping the cold winter and visiting the sun.
These thimbles represent some of the places I visited on this holiday. Montana, Idaho and Utah.

This was a holiday that I shared with my parents. I took hundreds and hundreds of pictures so sit back, relax, and enjoy a coffee as I share some of those memories with you.
Your home away from home for your trip—with wheels, LOL.
I love that you picked up all those thimbles along the way. You are going to have to make more room in your storage area.
Did you know that I lived in a town along Route 66 in Illinois? My parent still do. Parts of the old road ran very near the home where we lived.
