The longest summer

Boy, It's been a long time since my last post!

Well, did everyone had a wonderful summer???

My long summer fiasco is almost over. Although, it's not quite over yet because our household goods have not arrived YET!!!!

We finally moved in our new house, which is the same city that we used to live three years ago in southern California.

Believe it or not, we don't have any furniture, nothing! We are using sleeping bags to sleep on. It's pretty much like camping indoor in our new home.*LOL*

Our household goods should be arriving sometime early September.

We received our express shipment which included a TV , our PC and some little cooking tools last week. So finally I can go online and meet you girls again!!!!

Gee.... I have been totally out of touch so long. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. Ha! *LOL*

O.K. What should I talk about first....

I went to my in-law's new home in Texas right after we left Japan.

For Goodness sake, Texas is super HOT! It was No joke! but I really love the area.

We went to Fort Worth's Historic livestock yard and had a great time. I love the atmosphere, love old town, cozy country feeling, just love it.

Of cause, I'm a quilter. Yes, I went to a couple of quilt shops. I checked their website before I left Japan.

First stop was called Lone star house of quilts shop. It's a very cute shop that is full of repro and Jo Morton fabrics! This shop is very close to my taste. and Oh, I was soooooo thrill to see tons of beautiful fabrics!!! ( I've been out of the U.S. too long, Hun? *LOL*)

I may have went a bit off. I bought some patterns, some Jo Morton's books and yes FABRICS, FABRICS, and more FABRICS!

They put all of the things I purchases in a logo bag from there shop. What a sweet treat! I love it.

I definitely will go this shop again when I visit my hubby's mom and dad again. :-)

Next shop was near the Fort Worth area. Another homey charming quilt shop and those ladies that work there were very sweet. The shop called Country stitches quilt shop.

I had a wonderful time picking out all the yummy fat quarters!

All right, what I need now is all my quilting equipments!!!!

I really hope that our TMO will be here soon, yes, very soon.

なんだか随分とご無沙汰してました。

ええ、なんだか長い長い夏休みをいただいたように、って、のんびりと過ごせる夏休みだったらいいんだけど。(苦笑）

実は未だ。。。家財道具が届いてません。（大泣）

このPCもテレビも先に送ったエクスプレスでやっと届いたのですよ。で、家も決まったんだけど。。。。ベッドもないし、テーブルもないっ。一家四人で新居で寝袋生活ですよ。とほほ～
日本を出た私達一行はダーの両親の引越し先であるテキサスに行ってきました。

テキサス、いいな～、物凄く暑くって日中外に出るのが億劫って事を除けば私はかなり好きです。何だか雰囲気も人々ものんびりとしていて、カントリーライフそのままって感じがいい。

そんな中、キルターである私は日本を出る前にチェックしておいたキルトショップ２軒にキッチリ行ってきましたよ。

これまた２軒とも素敵なお店でした。お店のスタッフもとっても気さくで話しやすくって、先に行ったLone Star House of quiltsでは買い物したものをお店のロゴ入りの袋に入れてくれました。何か得した気分。(笑）

次に行ったお店もReproがたくさん置いてあって、お店のスタッフとたわいもない会話をしながらも目は泳ぐように店内を。(笑）

日本にいた間殆どとをネットショップで暮らした3年間を拭い去るかのように買い物に没頭。早い話が散財。(笑）

あぁ～家財道具と一緒に私のキルト道具よ、早くこっちに来ておくれ～と、思ってやまない今日この頃です。
