Tuesday?

This is Tuesday, right? I had to keep reminding myself yesterday that it was Monday and not Sunday. I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! Our weekend started with another daytrip on the motorcycle. Another couple went with us and we mandered our way around back to Arrow Rock...with a few stops between here and there....took in a few antique shops and found a few treasures! I was actually feeling some inspiration as I walked thru some shops...finding little things to make this or that with...so maybe this week I'll get a few new things done for my Etsy shop and/or for the Mercantile. We went by the campground to visit with our friends who were there camping for the weekend then ended up back at the J. Houston Tavern for supper!

I found this in my mailbox when I got home. On our last trip to Arrow Rock, I'd picked up the little quilted runner made with Civil War reproduction prints and when I asked the quilter where she finds her fabrics, she mentioned Keepsake Quilters online! Need I say more? I'm all signed up for the Civil War Era Medley of the Month....6 FQ's per month...I can't wait to work up a project, or two or three with this!

Sunday, we were invited down to a fish fry with John's folks... a cousin who has a little place down near the lake was cookin' up a bunch of fish! It turned out to be a really long day....I was beat by the time we got home!

Monday, we had a family gathering with my side of the family....I didn't even try to count how many were there and I had to be reminded of who's who with some of the youngin's running around! It'd been a spell since I'd been to a gathering of such. We skip gatherings taking for granted that we can always catch the next one. Glad we made it to this one!

We had some friends and the kids down for supper and a movie.....today it's back to work. John's back in the truck and I've got two gowns in the closet to be altered for the Miss Missouri Pageant that's on my list of things to do today. So guess I'd better get busy so I can get on with some fun work a bit later!!

Have a GREAT day!!

I've just stumbled upon your blog. I found you mentioning places we've been. Places we want to go. We ramble around MO from a place we have in Sumner, MO. It's a house but we call it a cabin that the guys use all Fall to waterfowl hunt. In the summer we antique, junk and craft place around. We have dear friends in Brunswick and I like the Ben Franklin in Macon. I'll be back, it was a fun visit, thanks. You are very talented.
