Car Rides & Labor Day Quilting Fun!

These two doggie girls LOVE a car ride.

And it doesn't seem to matter whose or which car it is.  

An open door is an invitation to jump on in - which scares me just a little bit!

A couple of weeks ago it was starting to sprinkle and Zoey Jo was on a long tether between the trees when ladies were unloading at Quiltville Inn - they were visiting because The Hubster was busy with some evening weed-whacker activity.

One quilter opened up her back door to unload some belongings into a wagon, and Zoey saw the opportunity and jumped in, tether and all.

Friday Fun Follies!

It was brunch on the porch, y'all!

And as you can tell, it was a lovely morning - 

Some took off to go hike up to the ponies after we enjoyed eating al fresco on the porch (And oh, what a time they had - I understand they were witnesses to spontaneous animal husbandry in action - right on the trail.  Like don't ponies GET A ROOM anymore? LOL!) while others enjoyed some leisurely stitching.

What a great onset to the long holiday weekend ahead!

Ghost Barns and September Quiltvillians!

What do Ghost Barns have to do with September Quiltvillians?

Nothing really - but when friend Martha asked if I'd like to take some time yesterday morning to run some errands, I quickly said yes.

When you live this far out, having someone to ride along with makes the long journey not only fun, but a car-pool shared is half the gas, right?

Truth is, there is only ONE Ghost Barn in this post, and this is it.

How much longer will it stand?  I have no idea.  I'm afraid that one more big storm will have it on the ground only to be seen the next time we take this round about way to get to where we are going.

Or home from where we've been.
