Buccee’s is more than just a gas station! You can buy clothes, decor for the home, stock up on every kind of snack, grab a Mexican coke, homemade fudge, sandwiches, you name it. And yes, they literally have the nicest bathrooms. Don’t forget to buy a Buccee’s tshirt or get a pic with Buccee!

Ladies, you made my Monday a little better with some laughter. Also, thank you, EJ; due to your review of the Hearthside stand showing that it can hold a Q-Snap, my bank account is missing some $$$. 🤣 I can't wait. I knew I would never have the patience to baste onto scroll rods, so that was a game changer. I so appreciate your weekly flosstube, the work you put into it and the two of you are just great together.

EJ as a fellow fire dragon I can assure you do not be afraid of the Buccees restrooms- they have attendants scrubbing them down & directing “traffic” non stop- it’s wild! Shelia I loved hearing all about your retreat & adventures- thank you for sharing, I was intrigued by the needle information & that Jan Hicks just pops up everywhere- SO fun! 😊

Did I just hear you call your car 'Ophelia'??? I name my cars too, and they're all called Josephine after the George Thorogood (Bo Diddly) song! "Ride on Josephine, baby ride on..." Great video today, ladies! Lots of beautiful stitching! 😊

Love watching you ladies I am a water rat Dec 1972. I have been watching you since 2022 Nov when I started cross stitching. I was wondering where EJ got her planner book, I’m guessing it had made by her but thought I would ask. Tanks ladies for another wonderful episode.

Ok EJ I just about fell out of my stitchy chair when you said you were burn in 1976! Congrats on being so young at heart! I thought you were like 28…. Then my husband came in the room and I asked him and lo and behold he says 28! Then I told him no and he said I heard it wrong and it must be 1996…. So I was going to rewind but was too lazy so we just asked Alexa which Chinese year 1976, 1986, and 1996 to make sure I was right. Pathetic huh? Thought I’d tell you the rabbit hole we went down. You both are gorgeous and we have fun super sleuthing what I heard ❤

Yet again love love the video, so much fun and laughter, with stitching included, trust me I needed it after a week that I have had, so ladies my craft stand has been ordered and am anxiously awaiting the shipment update, so looking forward to it. EJ am working on my SAL for the month of February and thinking to just finish that motif and be a little bit ahead, and oh Shelia you visited our hot spot here in Texas that is just a favorite Buc-ees, yes ma’am it is a place to visit, glad they are popping up all over the US, and let EJ know the bathrooms are very much okay to visit while traveling, well they are here and hopefully they are keeping that promise going! Have a great week! 😊

Several folks have commented to the cleanliness of the Buc-ee's bathrooms. We will find out this summer during our road trip. It definitely is on my "places to stop" list going forward.

been having some health issues as of late, and you both make my day when I watch you on Sundays lately. today here, we had an epic Ooops. lol. My youngest daughter has been telling me that this week was Super Bowl Sunday. and I got all of what I needed to make my Super Bowl Chili for my son. when he called me he informed me that next week is the Super Bowl. amd was chuckling that my daughter pulled off the epic "Prank" and it was good to laugh at myself as well. I told her that I win. because I have not worked on my cross stitch project at all this week. and now I have one more week on my set goal to get the stitching part done, and I feel good about that.

Hooray! Now you are ready for Super Bowl Sunday. My favorite dish is an Ahi Tuna with lime, cilantro, peanuts, soy, and green onion. I buy a big bag of Little Dippers and munch my way through the afternoon.

I saw a video on how iguanas fall from trees when it gets cold in Florida. Made me remember when big daddy was in your palm tree and I thought you were talking about an alligator 😅 can you imagine alligators falling from trees. Thank goodness he was just an iguana! Love your videos as always and such beautiful stitching!
@SunshineStitchers 5 ай бұрын
Big Daddy is bigger than some alligators. They do fall from the trees. When the temps drop very low, the newscasters caution people not to pick them up and bring them indoors. They will wake up! You don't want your car parked underneath a tree where iguanas have decided to camp out either.

I had to laugh when you were talking about your GPS adventure because I was coming home to Wisconsin from a woman's festival in Michigan one time and had an interesting GPS adventure myself. I decided that since I had never been to the UP, I was going to go home that way instead of down around through Chicago. I had never been that way so when I stopped for gas and a snack and got back on the road, it took me a bit to realize something was wrong. GPS kept having me make all these weird back road turns. Well, it had me turn into a farm field driveway so I pulled over to see if I could figure out what was going on. Apparently I had accidentally turned on the airplane mode on my phone at some point while I was shopping and the damn thing was sending me in circles instead of telling me it couldn't track me 🤦🏻♀️. Here I had been going in a spiral about 15 minutes away from the highway 🤣🤣
@SunshineStitchers 5 ай бұрын
Oh my goodness! Thank goodness for that farm field. If it was me, it would have taken a lot longer to figure it out. Hope the rest of the trip was uneventful.

It has not been fully finished, yet. She has quite a few options that she is considering. Decisions are not easy.
