Paducah Day 4 Going Home

Packed up the car and left Paducah at 8:15.  Cool and cloundy weather.  As we drove thru St. Louis, the top of the arch was invisible.  Ran into ran showers.  At Hannibal Mo we detoured to the historic downtown area where the quilt shop Hickory Stick is.  The shop is open even on Sunday, except Mother's Day.   www.hickorystickquiltshop.com. 

Arrival time home was 6:30 pm.  It was a great quilt adventure.
