My Size Barbie and I are on our way back home. We took a break for lunch at the Dairy Queen in Macon, Missouri. I had the $7 meal deal - a juicy cheeseburger, the best fries, a large drink, and a hot fudge Sunday, and the service was wonderful too!

Trip update: stayed at the Super 8 in Hannibal last night. Nice room, very clean, helpful staff, and a really nice breakfast - I had sausages, eggs, and a delicious waffle. Yum! Last night, I had supper at the Rusty Oak Bar & Grill. It was yummy too. Barbie wasn’t hungry.

This Sunday has been all about sewing doll clothes - although, it seems that I’ve been using the seam ripper a lot! Getting ready for the Fall shows.

Today’s addition to the Blue & Grey Book Shoppe: Revolutionary War, Western Expansion, WWII, and a huge paperback reference book of historical info (and it’s easy to use). These are also available online in my Biblio shop - links on the home page of the website in my profile.

Wondering why I haven’t been showing what’s new in the shop? Me too! Here’s a couple Civil War related books: “We Gave Them Thunder” is about Marmaduke’s raid and the Civil War in Missouri and Arkansas. “The Eighteenth Missouri” is a story of military life at the regimental level in the 1860s. See them in person at the Blue & Grey Book Shoppe or online on Biblio. Links oar on the homepage of the website in my bio.
