Hello everyone, The past couple of days have been extremely interesting.
Kathy and I spent a day waiting for Mary. The weather was inclement and threatened rain, so I completed a little business on the computer and after a quick lunch we took off in the vehicle for Fort Snelling. This interactive historic re-creation was wonderful. People live in the fort in the manner of their ancestors... we got to talk with the Dr, who gave us some interesting tips on amputation of limbs. Mrs Snelling invited us to stay... we believe they were eating swan for dinner.... so we decided to decline her kind offer.
As we waited for Mary at the airport we were informed that dangerous storms were approaching. Several planes were taking off early.... Wouldn't you be cross if your plane left without you !!!!
As we drove off, the storms raged around us, black and menacing... I have never seen such amazing cloud formations....We sheltered in Target and had Mary shopping within half an hour after her arrival....The rest of the trip home was uneventful but we had to brave the rain and sleet.
A slow day today, but we got to watch six or seven episodes of quilting on TV and then we went to the local diner for lunch...
Now eat your heart out folk..
The local dime store is closing down... they have all their fabric out for around $2.50 a yard. It was like being a kid in a candy shop....we purchased the some of the latest fabrics at that amazing price... I think I purchased 20 meters.. We had the most wonderful show and tell when we arrived home.!!!!
I have been coming here for 10 years now. The first time I came, Joan caught some fireflies and put them in a jar by my bed.... those little critters glowed all night. It was magical. Tonight the fireflies were dancing again... so we've just captured some and I will give them to the girls to sleep by.
