Just a fun day


Spent another fun day with Sherie! We did our tour of the Bullseye glass company. Unfortunately they don't allow pictures in the plant, but it was awesome. They make their own equipment, which I am sure is the reason behind the no photo policy. There was one group of guys making large sheets of glass who have choreographed their movements to an art form. The glass available is overwhelming and it is nice to know we have a good bit of the best offered.

Since we were in the area, my sister thought I should go to the Elephant Delicatessen. Oh my word!! The food was fantastic and the staff was great.


We ended the day with a fashion show for Slippers. She liked it, really she did.......

The Three of Us

I want you all to meet my sister Sherie and my brother-in-law Doug. We had such a good day together taking in some of the sights around Salem, OR. If my other half were here, life would be perfect!
This is what was left of a fantastic taco we got at a street market, right before we ate it....

Lemonade was also in order for the day. I think we can do this for the 4th.......

Sherie also took me to a quilt shop. It was a cute place with some interesting ideas. I of course had to make a purchase and start a project here! Why do I do this to myself??? Wonder if I can get it completed...... Time is already flying by.

Oregon here I come!

Well, I leave for the states tomorrow morning. Getting ready for our Arts and Crafts Event, and I do mean EVENT, was awesome, I have hardly had time to think. I am torn because I hate leaving my husband, a lot. Then there is my work family.... I'll miss you guys too, but, I get to see my sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew who I haven't seen in three years! I cannot express how much I have missed them! I am getting to do this in conjunction with going to quilt market in Portland OR. This both intimidates and excites me! I am also touring the Bullseye glass company. We get some of our stained glass from them. (If only they were offering a class.....) I hope to write as I go along but since I am the unblogger, don't hold your breath!

Morning walk

Things have been so busy the last couple of weeks. I decided to take Brinkley on a leisurely walk the other morning. It was just too beautiful. Here are some of my favorite things I saw. There is a caterpillar in there that I didn't notice until I got home..
I know they are weeds, but they just look like sunshine....
The most gorgeous dog ever! For some reason though, he did NOT want his picture taken.

Things Brinkley saw on our walk.....
What's not to like about these colors?
