It's a date!



Sometimes date night includes a stop at Kwik Trip to sit and people watch. Don't underestimate the entertainment value! The best one in Winona is on Huff St. by the university. There is usually a constant stream of people. I've always enjoyed people watching. When I was a kid and we were visiting my grandma in Bemidji, we would go downtown on a Friday night and watch people. Grandma was a hoot and her commentary would bring great laughs. We do usually buy something so we aren't just loitering. After this I had a MacDonalds hamburger--I am a cheap date! Where do you like to people watch?

Projects

I've had this cute owl fabric for quite awhile and Tessa and I thot it would be perfect for Mylah's cradle--I think so! John told me I was using my engineering brain when I was figuring out how to make everything. I might have a headache but it worked.

I finished up some distressed canvases yesterday. The white on my shirt is sposed to be there, but part of my face was distressed. I love doing these.

Grown up, engaged, and a quilt

The baby of the family is now 21 !
And Trevor and Jessee are now engaged! No date set yet. If it's during this year, we will have 3 weddings and a baby!
The latest finished quilt. Top is the front and bottom is the back. I made it for my niece's mother-in-law, Barb who is going thru chemo.

Forewarning

What a mess. I tried to do the trip in order, but it's backwards. So go to the Trip To Texas post and work your way up. Irritating.

San Antonio

We enjoyed a day and night in San Antonio before flying back to winter. The Alamo, a trolley ride, a boat ride along the Riverwalk, and fancy dining at Landry's.

The Ship

Two fighter planes that amused me.

Tim is a mailman and we had a photo op in the bowels of the ship.
And there is the name I couldn't remember--it was the Lexington.

Corpus Christi

We visited an aquarium and toured an aircraft carrier. My old brain can't remember the name of either.
