Another Success!

I drove for about 35 minutes yesterday to get to another Needlework shop. At least it was a straight shot on the same street as my class is on. It was Needlework Cottage, clear over by the ocean. I could see the water from the front porch. Very pretty area. I picked up the rest of the Weeks and Gentle Arts threads for the SB ornaments, but nothing else. The shop was good size, but 85% was yarns and threads. Great place for knitters.

Then I drove around for over an hour trying to find the remaining shop in town. Very hard to find. I finally stopped at a Starbucks and asked a lady who looked to be about my age. She knew right where it was. Of course, by the time I got there, it was closed for the night. It was right behind a Hooter's ( !) restaurant, so just peeked in the windows to see if it were worth going back for. I haven't decided if I will go back or not. It's a tricky place to get to.

On my way home, I got slightly lost....I knew I was going in the right direction, just couldn't find the street I wanted. I passed a Marie Calendar's, so stopped for dinner. I LOVE Marie Calendar's, we don't have one at home, so I decided to take advantage of it. I had a wonderful Stroganoff dish and cornbread. I did make it home and then admired all my new threads. Such fun!

Ahhh, Marie Callendar's!! How many times did we go there for a meal or a treat after church when we lived down there! Glad you enjoyed your meal :)

Yes, Marie Callendar's is the best. We used to have one close to the Twin Cities but it closed. Enjoy the rest of your stay in San Diego!

Mom-
Isn't Marie Callendar's a frozen dinner brand? I didn't know it was a resturant. You're so lucky that you're down there right now. It's been pouring, and is supposed to continue to pour all week long. And I mean pour. Have a good rest of the week! Love you, and see you soon!

Hi Amy! Yep, the frozen dinners started with a restaurant. Same thing with Stoffers...it is a restaurant chain back east, the frozen meals came after the restaurant!

Sounds like you're having a great time while you're away ... at least you managed to find at least one LNS open ;)
