Back From A Big Break.
Posted on | July 23, 2019 | 14 Comments
After seven weeks it is time to get back to looking after the blog and writing some posts. We have had a lovely break spending four weeks with our family in Charleston, South Carolina. We had HOT weather and high humidity but that did not stop us getting out and about. We celebrated a couple of birthdays, visited historic sites, parks, gardens. There were school visits for presentations and concerts, the fun activities when the Summer break started. Some shopping was done and lots of ice cream was eaten.
Here are some photos of a few of the activities that kept us busy. Warning – no stitching pics, only holiday snaps.
This is only a little sample of our time away and as always it flew by far too quickly, but we had a wonderful time with our family and made the most of every day.
Our flight home was uneventful until we found out our luggage had not made the connection in Dallas. Not a disaster as we were heading home. It did eventually arrive three days later.
We had plenty of plans for activities to jump into on our return, but those were all dropped when only a few days later hubby was diagnosed with flu. The next couple of weeks were spent making sure that he recovered and I didn’t catch it. Thankfully we managed to achieve both goals.
There was one more exciting event for our return home. A new sewing room! I will explain more in the next post.
Cheers, Karen

Glad you’re back! I’ve missed you.
I’m sure returning home is bittersweet since you had to leave family behind. Plus it seems they showed y’all a great time. That area of the country is beautiful and diverse, so there’s lots to do. We visited Biltmore years ago and thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
Looks like you had a wonderful time! Glad your hubby recovered quickly. Can’t wait to see your new sewing space!
So glad that you made it back home. You really did get a chance to explore my neck of the woods and saw more of the Eastern coast than I have!!! I am so glad that you didn’t end up with the flu. Now, get back to creating!!!
Welcome home, Karen! That Driftwood Beach looks especially interesting. Do you do smores there in Australia, the way we do in the US, too? That dining room!!! I wonder who all has eaten there over the years.
Welcome back home…
It’s always gOOd for the soul to have a break and especially if time is spent with family & friends… xox
OH, I wish I had known you were so close!!! I would have met you for lunch in Brevard or Asheville!! I’m glad you enjoyed your trip. Western NC is a bit of heaven.
Great pictures and lovely to see some of what you got up to…. so lovely to visit. Gosh that old oak tree is beautiful. Glad Hubby is better – glad he wasn’t ill over there…

Looks like you had a great time. Glad that hubby wasn’t sick until he got home at least. Especially happy you didn’t get it too. Those Vanderbilt mansions are just amazing. We visited a couple in New Port Rhode Island that were just incredible. The history behind them in fascinating too.
Welcome home, What stunning photos!
Hope you didn’t catch hubby’s flu
I enjoyed seeing your holiday pics. Everyone’s vacations inspire ideas for my own travels. Thanks.
Hi Karen oh wow what amazing pics of an awesome time and even more special seeing it all with family,good to have you back my friend xx
Welcome back, I didn’t realise you were away on an overseas holiday, how exciting. It must have been wonderful to catch up with your family, and having a croc close by would make you feel at home! Lovely holiday snaps, thanks for sharing, love the one of the feet enjoying their trip down the river.
It looks like you had a wonderful holiday, Karen! You have some fantastic memories to file away. Will you make a photo book of your favourite ones?
Welcome back! What a grand adventure! Thank you for sharing your lovely trip photos. Glad hubby is on the mend and you didn’t get sick, too. Looking forward to hearing about your new sewing room.
