In my blog I plan to chat about nature, crafts, baking, gardening, beekeeping, family, and whatever else seems appropriate at the time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Friday and Saturday....of last week!

Thanks for all of the nice comments.  Mom is doing fine.  Not sure about the bees yet, but I plan on checking on them tomorrow..... if all goes as planned.

I'm remembering to take pictures again....is that good....or bad?
So LAST Friday, Mom and Dad were SUPPOSED to watch my Sister's child while my Sister and her husband went out of town for the night.  But that obviously didn't work out, so Vickie and I went.
We went downtown for their First Friday and they were having a "bed race!"
They decorate beds, dress up in characters, and race on a small made-up track.
Scooby Doo was there!

 
This is the winning team.
Then we went to Barnes & Noble.  I had to get a picture of this display as she is one of my favorite authors.
kind of Sad though....I find myself relating more to the older woman (the mom figure) more than the younger, romantic woman figure.  (I'm soon to be 56)
When we got back to my sister's house, I saw just enough port wine left over from the weekend before,
and I happen to know where she hides her dark chocolate!!!!  I sat down with my new crochet book/mag purchases, my wine, chocolate, my cousin Vickie, and HGTV!  I've hardly seen HGTV since we have moved because we have an antenna now.  Nice, relaxing evening!
I think I need to make this bag!
The next day, downtown, was the Old Mill Festival.  They cleaned up from the bed race pretty quickly!
I went to the old mill festival several years ago and I must say it has grown a LOT! 
There were venders lined up on both sides of two streets.  Probably around 50 vendors.


I wish this picture did the sky justice.  One time we looked up and saw several beautiful colors in the sky.
Everyone started trying to get pictures of it.
After having a great big ice cream cone, which I failed to get any pictures of, we went to Garden Thyme in Noblesville, (it's really in Clarksville, but I don't even know if that's on the map) on Highway 38.
My niece asked me if this was an old lawn mower!

If you've never been to Garden Thyme, you need to go.
She has great prices and fun plants.  I bought Robert Mitchum mint and a Chocolate scented geranium!

I also bough an orange mint, and I bought my niece a balloon plant, which she better have in the ground by now!



Oh yeah.....I thought my Sister and her husband must let their dog sleep with them since she climbed in bed like it was normal.  Apparently not!

Who knew?
