On the Road Again

Our early weekend fun started with our travels to Fort Wayne, Indiana. My friend Jo, Windy, and her Joe, and Joe's Mom Robin traveled to the Vera Bradley Outlet Sale. Above is a picture of the tables that are loaded with Vera totes and pocketbooks. It is overwhelming, but so much fun.
You just can't pass up a chicken on the road!! What a Kodak moment.
Jo trying to make the many decisions she had to make. It was a difficult job to try and figure out
just how many pocketbooks one needs to own. Decisions Decisions.
We got to re-live Spring again. Everything was in bloom and it was just beautiful.
Another picture of the Vera Show.
Now on to Dresden, Ohio --- Longaberger here we come.
This was a Collectors Club Event. Jo and I set up some of our "EXTRA" baskets and sold them on Saturday. We did pretty good, but don't think we broke even with what we spent at Vera. We had great fun. Any Longaberger Event is always a treat!
My pictures are a little out of order -- OOPS - Back to Fort Wayne. We visited a real Vera Bradley store and it was so fun to look at all the stuff they have plus we got a sneak peek at the new items coming out soon.
Joe and Windy at the Vera Store. I would like to say Thank You to Windy, Joe and Robin. They were great hosts to Jo and I. They took us to all the best places. We ate lunch at a Red Robin and then we had a delicious dessert at their favorite chocolate place. It was great!! We got to do some things we would not have been able to have done on our own -- so Thank You for being such great hosts!
Jo and I eating our chocolate creation!! It was amazing. DeBrand Chocolate! If you ever have the opportunity to try it --- you won't regret it.
The Girls after a long hard day of shopping.

The vehicle was filled to the top --- not another spare spot.
Longaberger Homestead!! We are all smiles after a long hard day of work and shopping. It was very windy -- reason for the blown look.

Our Booth we had set up. The theme for the Event was a Hoe-Down. Lots of cowgirls and cowboys running around. Some very interesting.
Our favorite mime. He is wonderful. We see him at every event Longaberger does. He is such fun to watch.
We had another great trip!!
Jo is a special friend to travel with. We have so much fun as we enjoy so much of the same things. We are looking forward to our next trip which will be back to Ohio for the BEE.
