The New Jersey Stop

So there was this period of time between when the movers came to get my stuff from Maryland and when I was actually on the road and driving west that I spent with the New Jersey family.

I like New Jersey's welcome sign.

Anyway... I was actually kind of busy while here with last minute details and stuff with banks and insurance and unemployment etc., etc., you know, all the stuff that goes along with moving that ISN'T exciting and adventurous... so, I really didn't take any time to go out and take pictures. I didn't even take pictures of Fargo while I was there.

(I have lots of pictures that were taken from previous visits to New Jersey however, that I will share at some point or other.)


BUT...we did go to a new "World Market" that had opened in the area and I had my camera with me so I was able to get some cool textile shots.

It was really crowded... the aisles were narrow... glass was broken (thankfully not by us) I love the colors and textures that you can find in these kind of stores. They don't always like you to take pictures but I usually take them on the down-low. That way no one is getting upset and it is a surprise as to what I was able to capture. Of course, that can also lead to pictures that NO ONE wants to see...

Glassware always gives you interesting lines...

And patterns...


I had a good time with my brother and sister-in-law...and their dog...and it was really hard to leave knowing that for the first time in twelve and a half years I live more than 5 hours from them.
