After feeding Marley and Richard Parker, my furry grandpets, I went shopping at the Antique Mall. I passed on buying these Beatle dolls…they were cute in a bizarre sort of way. But wait, are Beatles antique? If they are, does this make me an antique?
I did buy some old kerchiefs. They might be good to use in a quilt one day.
My next stop was Main Street. Even though it was a bit hot, I enjoyed walking downtown.
The best stop I made in downtown Round Rock was the library. It is open on a Sunday, and it is a very busy.
There was a group of kids playing chess, a summer reading book club, and a children’s story time. Then I found a sewing group meeting in one of the rooms. One young woman was making clothes for her toddler. Another woman was with her mom. She was making a lap quilt for her mom to use in her wheelchair. I spent some time with a woman who was piecing a quilt. We shared tips and ideas.
It was a very enjoyable Sunday in Round Rock.
I love checking out local libraries when traveling!
Oh, me too. Libraries truly reflect the people in the community.
Sounds like such a relaxing day! I miss having a good library!
Sounds like a good day. And the Beatles? Yes, we’re all antiques now!
As I looked around the shop and found items of my childhood displayed as antiques, I finally came to the conclusion that I am an antique.
Chela — you’re a brave one to be walking in that heat! I love it that you found a quilter to bond with! Stay cool…
I believe quilters are the friendliest people around! I was able to connect with some creative people at the quilt shops and the library. I walk with a hand water spritzer fan, sun hat, and water bottle!
I would live in the library if it was possible. My family thinks I’m crazy!
