can you give me some advice on the afternoon commute?
I have to be at the airport by 830... should i wait until 7 or 730 to get back to Dallas?

There is a bunch of construction going on between McKinney and the airport. 7 would probably be safer.

I'll try to meet you at the quilt shop. I'm short. Gray hair. I'll wear jeans and a denim jacket.

Can I join you ladies? I was planning a trip over there today to get fabric for a mystery quilt.

Sharon, I would love to check out this new quilt shop in Plano. You are not talking about the Bernina quilt shop on K street or the one in downtown Wylie are you? Do you know how long its been open?

We can do this all again next week!!!

Just say when. As if we needed an excuse to go fabric shopping.

The more the merrier I say. Come on over.

I'm interested in the one in Plano on 15th. I haven't been there.

I am not sure what day I will be down. I have to deal with my "rent optional" tenant, pay taxes and then I can shop. I think I will stay two nights this time. That gives me two full days of shopping and one for driving.

Yes. Fabric Fanatics. I haven't been there. I googled it and it says it is on Haggard St. Is there another one?

Another store opened in downtown Plano but I was told it was not worth checking out. So wanted to clarify.

I shop at Fabric Fanatics all the time and after the 1st of the year the prices will increase!

Mary - I drove in circles (thanks gps) for almost an hour before I gave up.
I'm so disappointed! I had some money I wanted to give that quilt shop!

I hope you went and shopped like madness for me....
maybe another time?

I was there waiting for you. What a mess the construction out front was. No wonder you had trouble. Traffic was unusually heavy on 75 also. I'm sorry.

Maybe another time. I was pretty good to our pocketbook. I only bought what I need to work on Sanpat's IRR. BUT, I do need to make another trip for the next round.
