Hey Susan, is it the American Craft Council show in Baltimore?? It'll be here in Atlanta in a couple of weeks and I've got the date circled in red on my calendar. WE LOVE THAT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've got my birthday money all folded up in my pocketbook ready to go. :o
So much of the stuff is so expensive that all we can do is look and drool. But we've been going for years now, and the craftsmanship of the stuff still knocks me out. It's so neat to just look at. Amazing!!!!! :)

Wow, I'm dizzy from trying to keep up with the traveling Sus:D
The craft fair sounds fun, lots of stained glass supplies to bring home. Yup,keep the wallet in the car!!!!
Why are we moving to Annapolis? Marie and I love the ocean and the non basement. We dont want to move.
I cant belive it has been 13 weeks. It just cant be. Hip horrah for Little Miss !!! Go Bailey, run around that beautiful fenced in yard just as soon as you can!!!!
Yes-it is The American Guild Craft Show and yes it is in Baltimore. Addy, it's not supplies, it is finished works of art, crafts and jewelry.
The prompt to consider moving is the floods. We've now been in the house 10 years and have had 4 "hundred year" floods. It's a totally helpless feeling watching water rise and not knowing until after it peaks how bad it will be. The incoming water is brackish, which means it's salt water. If plants are needing water and wind up taking up salt water, it can be deadly.....and expensive. It's really discouraging seeing 10 years of growth wiped out with a flood.
Now.......WHO said 13 weeks???? It will be 7 weeks. I don't know what I was thinking of when I picked that number. :confused:;):confused:;):confused:
Tonight's room overlooks the Baltimore Harbor. Can't wait for daylight!

Finished works? WOW, for sure leave the credit card in the car. I love those shows and fairs:):):) You meet the most interesting people. Last year at a local show, we met a couple from Scotland with the coolest jewelry. I stocked up for Christmas and birthday presents for daughter and kids.
The flooding is a serious concern. I dont blame you for considering a move. It was like the other night when our power went out AGAIN:rolleyes: I told the energy company, I have never lived in a house where the power goes out so often we had to buy a generator:mad: This is old already. Hubby want to move.
Seven weeks sounds better, I was starting to feel old:p:p:p
whew, I was thinking that time was really passing me by! 13 Weeks. ROFL!
*sigh* Baltimore Harbor. *drool
I'd be thinking of moving too with that much flooding. :( I think it would still be hard to do though.

Like I said....this is really preliminary. Nothing may come of it. And.....we designed and had this house built. Leaving it would be very tough.
Since I'm currently unable to walk (see Addy's thread), I won't be looking at many houses soon. Although we will be in Annapolis on Monday for Bailey's postoperative check up. Maybe we can at least check out neighborhood possibilities.:confused:
Love,
Susan
Well fooey Susan.. What were you doing, jumping hurdles in Baltimore?!!
Hopefully the knee gets better soon.
Nothing like doing a drive through the neighborhoods to get a feel for the place. See what areas you really like. I'm know Annapolis has some of those great character neighborhoods, but maybe something in more of a ranch style with less stairs would be good for you? Sprawled out with a big garden. A lovely view of the ocean (you know, looking over it, not wading through it, would be good too) All sorts of possibilities.
I know what you mean though, I'd hate leaving my home too. I hate all the stairs here but just love the house itself.
Now take care of yourself!! Sorry that you had to see snow. That's always a shocker after being out working in the garden last weekend.
hugs,
Sharlene
I sure hope you knee is better this morning. Sorry that had to happen.
How was Baltimore and the show? I hope you were able to enjoy it even if you knee went out.
Maybe a car tour of Annapolis:):):):) no walking!!!;);)
It is always fun to plan things and say what if even if it doesnt happen.
Consider the possibilities:D:D:D:D:D:D:D I remember a few winters ago I was trying to figure out if I could relocate to Nice for a few years. (they dont put dogs in quarantine in France). It was fun just to consider the possibility. Of course I came to the conclusion, was never going to happen, but dreaming and investigating was fun!!!
Happy Friday!
Addy! We must be soul mates! A couple years ago I was in Nice and was trying to decide if it was doable to be able to be there and back here, especially in the winters months. We even looked at condo/apartment listings, since hubs thought it would be nice too. Well, not going to happen unless we are both retired and have the funds for that kind of a back and forth. (the carribean is much cheaper to live on retirement funds than Nice, France) but hey a girl can dream right! :)
I agree, it is fun to wonder, can we, should we, hmmm..lets go look.
My Brother in law and his fiancee, now live in Budapest and have been there for a couple years. He is doing book translations from Russian to English and going to university. Says it is a pain to take Russian while trying to speak Hungarian (Hungarian is suppose to be one of those very difficult languages) He already speaks Russian but needed certain classes to add to his degree I guess. Still it shows that things are possible to happen. :) You never know. :)
Annapolis, here we come! Driving tour!!

Hi!
Well-Bailey passed her six week (really 7 week) checkup with flying colors but since we had the recurrence, the doc wants us to be really careful this time so we are on another 6 week reduced movement plan. We can walk her now but still no jumping up and down from furniture. I'm tellin' you this kid is ready to rip and tear!!
We spent 5-6 hours today riding around Annapolis. It was encouraging. Now we have to find out what our home is worth. (Not nearly enough I can assure you!!! :D:D;)) Bailey was just a dream. Not a problem at all with all the riding around.
Knee is better. Doc visit indicated a need for more pt. She also drained some fluid off of it. Saturday it was bad again. There is no predicting it. Sunday I spent a good 4 hours tending to gardens and had no real problems. I followed that up with the hot tub. I had a little trouble sleeping, but it all worked out. I've had two solid nights of sleep in a row. That is promising.
Everyone got through Monday...........onward to Tuesday!!
Love,
Susan
