So Donna when you get to Cary, North Carolina http://www.townofcary.org/New_to_Cary_/About_Cary_272.htm (voted one of the best small cities 2006 and the best place to live 2004 by Money Magazine). You may think it's a bit on the boring side. And you'll be right. But it's a good boring - a nice town and a good place to raise a family. If we want more excitement we can go into Raleigh or Durham.
When you first arrive at my house
We can sit for a while and discuss our plans
my mother's antique sampler hangs in my kitchen, we'll have a glass (or several of sweet tea)
Every morning starts with a 4 mile walk here. I spend a lot of time watching the wildlife while I walk and listening to my ipod, but I'll unplug and we can chat.
After the walk, back home to work on my ufo pile - yes please I'd could use a bit of help and some focus.
Next I think we need to go shopping first it's off to Joann's a big chain store but they have some cute fabric, then on to the local quilt shops we have several here. One of my favorite's www.plainandsimplequiltshop.net just had a big honor this shop will be featured in the May 11th issue of American Patchwork and Quilting Quilt Sampler edition.
My other favorite - very sweet and welcoming - I've been going here for years.
There are more farther out in Raleigh but these two are my favorites.
The cat, the dog, the kids - you'll need to go somewhere quiet after my house.

Hey Lyn! Thanks for sharing a bit of your little corner of the world. I think it would take me quite a while to walk that four miles - not only am I unfit, but there looks like there is SOOOOO much to see that it would slow me down! :0) Good luck with those UFO's!! Bear Hugs! KRIS
I would love to visit and go shopping, I don´t mind the cat, dog or the kids :)
Great tour. What a great place to walk. How exciting for Plain and Simple. I will have to look for the magazine.
This was such a nice post. Thanks for sharing it. You have beautiful children! You are so lucky to have such a gorgeous area to walk everyday. I would be right there with you if I lived closer. :) Then back for that sweet tea and some UFO tackling. :)
