Living in a small sleepy town is really nice and I don't think you could pay me enough to move to a big city. But sometimes you just have to get out of town, because well....there's not much happening around here.
Some of us girls headed down to the Twin Cities (aka Minneapolis/St. Paul) a couple weeks ago for a little culture. We kinda, sorta got dressed up and went to the musical, "Grease". Minneapolis has a wonderful theater district and it's exciting to see all the lights and people. We had awesome seats and the performance was tremendous. I'm admitting it here and now...I'm a big American Idol fan. Taylor Hicks was Teen Angel... his singing and harmonica playing was great... but his pants were so tight I was hoping they'd stay on...geeze...not sure how they didn't split?!?!
Something else that doesn't happen every day...the lights went down for the play to start and a side door opens up...in comes this guy and a whole entourage. Do you know who this is? Well, if you're from Minnesota you had better!!
About 7 rows (alright, I counted, it WAS 7 rows) in front of us was Brett Farve!! You could just hear the whispers grow across the theater. Let's just say I made my whole male family jealous with my text message. You can be sure there was a lot of texting going on during the first act!
There also isn't a good wool store close to us. Yet, that is. It will be nice when Farmhouse Woolens opens in a few months. So on another trip to the Cities four of us went to LJ Fibers. Karen went to make purchases for the store. She was the first one in (& I think the last one out) and you can see she was thinking mighty hard on what she should buy.
Faye, Denise and I didn't do too bad ourselves!!
Getting a package from France doesn't happen every day either. But today was the day that "Quilt Country" magazine was delivered. I promised I would share what the article was like. I was totally surprised to find that there were 5 pages! Now I just have to find someone who can tell me what it says!!
I also said I'd choose someone to receive the pattern, "Breezy".
Uh la la....Arlette you won!
Please email your address. Hmmm... isn't Arlette a French name?
