Today’s Travels

It’s day two of my adventure with the Mad Tatter.  We spent today on the Illinois tollway.


Okay, it’s not what you might think.  Technically we were above the tollway.  We spent the day at the Hinsdale Oasis with the Tollway Tatters!


This is something the Mad Tatter has wanted to do for years.  We decided there is no time like the present.  What a fun day we had.  The Mad Tatter was happy to meet these kindred spirits.  She also learned how to do a “Catherine Wheel Join”.  Apparently, this is a very difficult stitch in the tatting world.

Thank you Tollway Tatters for letting us crash your party today.

We headed west after the meet up ended.  Where are we tonight?  “Is this heaven?  No, it’s Iowa!”  Saw lots of rolling corn fields tonight before stopping at our hotel.

It was so wonderful to have the two of you join us! Now that you are officially Tollway Tatters, you just might have to find a tie-dyed t-shirt to wear every once in a while! :-)

What a wonderful day was had by our Tollway Tatters group. Especially having you two wonderful and very interesting women join us there definitely added to another perfect day. Thank you for sharing all your expertise with us also. Wishing you safe travels for wherever else you ladies might be heading to now.

I went to your profile, but couldn't get your email address their. I was wondering if Marlene also has a site or maybe FB page to see other things she has done. Seeing has how you check these before they are posted, you can just delete this.
Here is my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/barbara.gordon.1422 and here is my email address: bjgordonlacer1@live.com Thanks..
PS..I seldom use the email bosted at the bottom anymore.
