Recipe for a Good Time

Sharon, Jan, Kristin and I discovered the perfect recipe for a good time. Here is the supply list:

Friends
Tequila
Triple Sec
Limeade
Designated Driver
Art Quilt Show in neighboring State

We poured all of this together into Sharon's new car and headed West to Anniston, Alabama to see Virginia Greaves' fiber art show at The Buckner Center. Hanging alongside Virginia's fiber art, were her mother's oil paintings and watercolors. Virginia was quite surprised when we introduced ourselves and a bit stunned to learn that we drove all the way from Atlanta to see her show.

In the best of circumstances, it takes about 2 hours to get to Anniston from Atlanta. During Friday afternoon peak traffic, about 3-3 1/2 hours. But with Sharon at the wheel of her new car, drinking a Diet Coke, the rest of us were carefully (and safely) enjoying margaritas -- how many I'm not going to say.

It's important to have written directions to where you are going.
However, it's best to read them when the car is stopped!
Look out!

After the show we had a great dinner at the Terra Cotta Cafe at The Buckner Center, and then began the long drive back. At midnight we encountered road construction which brought traffic to a dead stop -- that's Atlanta for you. Then it started to rain. Sharon managed to get us home safely.

All in all it was a good time. And it was satisfying to support a fellow fiber artist at her first show. Ginny emailed me the other day to tell me she sold her piece at the show. Which one did you sell Ginny?

Guess Who!
