We are waiting to get back on the road until my feet feel a little better, so I'm sharing more from an exhibit that I saw in February and March.  We have not been able to do a drive exploring the area for quite some time, but we decided we needed some ice cream, so off we went.  Mark and I visited two extraordinary places in San Francisco last year, places that we will re-visit every time we return.  If you travel the very Northern portion of California's Highway 101, you get used to seeing the Benbow Inn, and thinking "One day I'll find out more about that, or stay there," just before you get to Garberville.  Over time I have come to realize that Mark and I see - and blog about - the places that we visit very differently.  I had been looking at exhibits for several hours here before the first group of students arrived on a field trip.  The Virginia Quilt Museum has relocated to a former barn in the Silver Lake Historic District, near Harrisonburg, Virginia.   We were on the road making a loop through Madison, NC. We were gone a good portion of the day; perfect.  I was just expecting to do some textile-stash enhancement when I stepped into Bay Quilts in Richmond, CA last month, but turned to my right, and WOW!  All the houses on our block set out Luminaries’ along the road; very peaceful looking, and inspirational.  We were headed out to see old friends and their newish son, and Mark asked if I wanted to stop at any quilt shops.  The Greer Heritage Museum - "We Make History Awesome" - is on Main Street, right next door to the police department.  Yo-Yo Ma created the Silkroad ensemble in 1998 to promote collaboration among multi-cultural musicians.  (Image Credit: https://www.silkroad.org/american-railroad)
