Headed to Slugville!!

In a couple of hours we will be heading to Slugville... aka Deep Creek Lake,MD... for a week. I'm just about all packed and ready. I tackled a project I have been avoiding for a long time....too long, I'm afraid. I CLEANED THE CARPET IN OUR DEN!

The whole prospect of using our new Steam Cleaner just intimidated the blazes out of me. Of course, the trick was to read the manual. Duh. This room is the most used room in our house and the apple juice, milk, crackers, cheerios and stuff ground into the carpet, courtesy of all the grands, just got to where I was grossed out. I should have been grossed out. I put on my facebook status that the cleaner sucked up enough dirt to plant a potato. The carpet is not that old so that adds to my shame. BUT it won't happen again. The steamer didn't attack me or anything....and it is all clean!

I have packed Libby's quilt and am pleased at the progress I have been making. Quilting has been a priority on my list and I have spent a couple of 5-6 hour days quilting. Some days I crank up the oldies on the TV or the ipod dock and stitch away. Last evening I popped in one of the Upstairs/Downstairs dvds and needled on. So I put in a few of the U/D dvd's in my quilt bag and think I will quilt to these while on vacation. Lordy, there must be at least two dozen dvd's in this set! And each dvd has four episodes on it. I won't run out of these for quite a while!

The rest of my packing awaits as well as running the dishwasher so I gotta go for now!
Blessings,
Becky
