So, 6 months ago (it feels like years) my best friend moved to Maryland. It's been a tough transition and all I can say is thank goodness for technology. Text messaging, photo messages and Facebook are a life saver. But, even with all that technology, nothing comes close to seeing her face to face, giving her a hug and laughing uncontrollably at some random shenanigans we get ourselves into.

Since moving to the big MD she has started her own business, City Mouse Vintage Designs. Check out her web page (www.countrymousevintagedesigns.com) cause she's awesome! This last weekend was her first show, so I decided to fly in and surprise her. The Country Mouse cannot miss the City Mouse's first show! That would be unthinkable!

So, long story short, I find myself navigating my tiny tin can of a rental car through a monsoon/tornado warning to get myself out of Washington DC and to the City Mouse farm called Brinkwood. The fact that I kept going after hydroplaning (not just once) on some strange highway in Maryland at midnight just shows my dedication to this wonderful lady. She's seriously everything you hope a sister would be and I love her to pieces.

I arrived safely, she was shocked and so we began our whirlwind weekend.

I prefer to tell my stories in pictures, so, here they are.....

Overall, an amazing and fun packed weekend. What's better than your BFF, laughing and picking?! I wasn't ready to leave and I can't wait to go back.

Good thing she's flying in for my first show at the beginning of May. Check out the events page to get the details of the Country Chicks show on 3-4 May and come visit us at our booth.

The sun is shining in my window and I'm one happy Country Mouse.
