One more day of work for me, and then I will be finished working at the fair for another year! It has been quite busy this year, as we went to an online program where people need to enter everything online. If they didn't have it registered before they went to the fair, they had to come into the office and register what they wanted in.
I am hoping to get out to the MN Shop Hop sometime before the 14th of August.
By the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ann!

Shop Hop
Surprisingly I have a rare friday to sunday off from JoAnn's (without request) so I have once again enlisted Erick's help to go out and hit up some of the local quilt shops for their freebies. We have some plans for saturday night and sunday afternoon but should be able to get to a good portion of the ones in our area. Not as excited this year for the main fabric but am sure I will find some that are wonderful.
Then - perhaps I will be able to talk my mom (or maybe an aunt or two) into a couple of helping days in late august so that I can (finally) complete a MN tote bag. I could really use a nice, big and heavy duty one before winter work sets in.
Happy Shopping!

Week-end Trip
It's a long drive.......road just keeps going.
We did go to the Whole Food Store, the new Apple store.
Evening picture of Brian and Sarah in front of the Lincoln Park Conservatory taken when we went out for an evening walk. We had walked lots during the day, but needed an evening walk since the dogs didn't go with during the day.
Saturday there were sidewalk sales on three streets near Brian and Sarah's home. I found a couple good things to buy, but left most of it in Chicago. What a bummer.

Happy Birthday Barb!!
Barb has a coffee group she attends a couple days a week. This afternoon I heard about it and joined them (in fact, I joined them with 5 grandkids and Ken) for a little while at McDonalds. I don't think they will let me know about the next meeting.
Her friend also brought cupcakes/cake to enjoy.
Cool Dude
He looks pretty cool with them on....right?
It worked and that's all that mattered. He was content while Dakota finished the game

Minnesota Nice
The first picture is the tent we ate in and that was only the first group - there was alot of people there.
As you can see the kids were very excited to see daddy. We rode a bus supplied by Beyond the Ribbon, so we had a very nice, comfortable ride there and back.

And we know who's it is, since there is a name on it.
I think it turned out pretty nice.
