I just returned home from a wonderful visit to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina ... attending the 15th PALS Fall Fling.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the beach ... any beach .... but I have to say I look forward every year to the PALS Fall Fling ... because of the beautiful beach and also because I get to spend a week with lots of stitcher ... the best of both worlds!
