My adventures for a piece of fleece






I decided I have gone long enough without beading. Last week I bought a table and I have read if you bead on a piece of fleece, your beads won't roll around. The are no stores in the Kentlands that sell fleece. So for the first time I used the Montgomery county Ride On Bus. There is a direct way to Joannes but the bus goes round about through the neighborhoods. I got off in the wrong place and then turned the wrong way and walked forever uphill, my shins were screaming. I finally broke down and called Mom admitting I got lost and she directed me the right way but I was tired so I caught another bus and finally got to the shopping center with the Joann's. I purchased my fleece and a few other notions and beads and then visited Starbucks. I was sitting by the window wondering if I wanted to try the bus again when a gentleman across the way started a conversation. We talked about me being new to the area, why I didn't have a car, my marriage, and the bus service. He was convinced I was going to get on the wrong bus and offered to drive me back to the Kentlands and I politely refused. So I dredged back over Quince Orchard and waited for the bus, about 5 minutes later here he comes, he is still convinced I won't end up where I want to. He offered to drive me again and this time I let him talk me into it. I know I know, I shouldn't have but I did get back to the kentlands in one piece. But I won't do it again, I promise.
So the rest of the afternoon I worked on my "Bead Room" which is really my other closet. When I left NC I just took all the drawers out of my organizers and threw them into two tubs. Well one tub is now empty but when I opened it I got hit with uber stale smoke odor. I'm very thankful for fabreeze.
