Lubbock trip

Very uneventful, except...if you have a handicap placard and you park in a handicap space, be sure to display it!! I didn't and so we got a ticket. They fined us $250! That should certainly deter non-handicap placard holders from parking in those spaces. I didn't see the green ticket stuck under the windshield wiper until we were flying down the road. I pulled over into a little picnic area because the little flapping I could see was making me crazy. Whoa! I could not imagine what I'd done. But, there it was, in black, white and red. I called the number they had listed and asked the lady what can be done in a case like this. After all, I DID have that placard tucked into the sun visor! She said to just make a copy of the placard showing the number and expiration date and return it with the ticket. Not a problem. It's done and in my purse ready to be mailed.
This little picture shows a top called "Just a Little Wedding". I've made several of these and find they make great little wedding/shower gifts. I need to have this one ready by this weekend.

I've also been working on a little wallhanging called "Twist and Shout". Pictures when I get it all together.

I'd better go check on the peach cobbler I've got in the oven.

What a nasty surprise. Your lucky though as over here there's no way out of the ticket once it's been given.

love the little weeding ring.

Wow! That is a hefty fine. DH says that up here it is only $100 for that same situation.
The Little Wedding is just darling. Very nice!
Happy stitchings!
