Here is my martini glass before I emptied it for my trip home.
We have had quite the start to our trip. We left Yuma and our car broke down in Phoenix. Thank goodness it broke down in a major city and we were able to find a Volkswagen dealer. Our trip since then has been great. Beautiful weather, no crazy traffic problems and a compatible companion.
We stopped in Oklahoma City at the Oklahoma City Memorial Museum. It was gutwrenching to walk through the museum and experience the bombing and the aftermath. The beautiful tribute to the 168 people who lost their lives with the symbolic chairs and the Survivor tree was so peaceful. There is a wonderful website with the story of the bombing and the memorial. Please, when you have the time take a look at their website. It is so touching.
Now on a lighter note
Before I left Yuma, I had two Mirabilia Round Robin finishes.
First up, is my Mirabilia RR from 2011 that came home and my section was unfinished.
I chose to stitch - Lily of the Woods, the Dreaming Fairy.
Here is my finished RR and the wonderful fairies each person added.
Tea for Two - left
Tea for Two - right
Fairie Treasures
Midsummer Night's Fairy
Fairy Flora
Aida, the Garden Fairy
The Woodland Fairy
I received Karen's beautiful Pixie Round Robin and contributed Tigerlily.
We will be in Annapolis, Maryland in the next day or so. We are visiting some friends on our way. I am looking forward to the visit. I have never been to this area before.
And then, on Monday, I will be home in Canada. I am looking forward to hugging and loving my children, grandchildren, parents and friends. It is wonderful to spend the winter in Arizona but there is "No Place Like HOME".
Until next time, stay safe and hug your family please.

All so lovely!!!! Safe travels!!!!
This is a great TUSAL post and very clever to post it early for your traveling!
The Round Robins look awesome!
How nice to have your Mirabilia RR all finished up, Kathy--it looks just beautiful! Enjoy your visit to Annapolis--I wish you safe travels home :)
Oh wow, the fairy RR is beautiful. My favourite has to be Fairie Treasures.
Have a lovely time in Maryland. I visited the state a few times when my friend lived there and it's a great place!
Very pretty! I think these work somehow better as these RRs than they do as the originals.
Enjoy Annapolis! It's a very pretty place, and it somehow bridges the laid-back Eastern Shore lifestyle with the suburban DC world.
Oh I love your round robins!!
Your Fairy RR is absolutely gorgeous!! LOVE IT! Tigerlily is so sweet. Can't wait until that piece gets to me so that I can see it in person. Be safe on your continued journey.
Your Mira RR is so gorgeous finished!
Thanks for Tigerlily, I love her soooo much!!
Safe travels!
These Mirabilia RRs are such a delight to look at - pure eye candy.
Have a safe rest of the trip home.
I love the two tea faires next to each other! It really is a beautiful RR as is the Pixie one.
Your Mirabilia RR looks fabulous Kathy! I can't wait until you have it all framed up.
Oooh, I love the colours in that Pixie too! This one is going to be so pretty when it's done.
Safe travels and I hope to see you soon.
Aiks! Thank God you managed to get your car fixed. Do stay safe.
