town celebration......

Last weekend was our yearly town celebration. Clara Mayland was the grand marshal for the parade. Instead of making the sign with paint, I made her a wall hanging as a memento. I did some unscientific polls on how to spell marshal. So many said "LL" that I left the spelling alone. I hope it is hanging in the Care Center now. (where she lives)

Tractor joe, his two brothers, two nephews, and a friend were also in the parade.

They drove their beloved Oliver tractors.....

I was very busy picking up candy, so I missed the first one to go by.

I only have 5 Oliver pictures.

It will make tractor joe happy to have the Olivers in the blog.

just a one more.....

They needed posters for the parade too.

I borrowed a Cricut to cut out the letters for them.

And last, but not least, I made one small wall hanging to put in the auction.

It is from American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine. (June 2011)

They bundled it with some other stuff in a basket. I think the basket went for $70.00.

On Saturday morning I was on the "set up" crew for a noon meal at the park. Before I went there, I dropped off my lawn chair at Karen's. I left it by the curb and started walking back to the car.

I was thinking....I don't want to be late

how long will it take?

I needed to watch inflatable toys at 12:30

will I have time to eat?

what time will they start serving?

I got back to the car, opened the door, got in, and shut the door...

something didn't feel right

things seemed strange....

where was my steering wheel?

OMG!

I was sitting in the back seat!

Has this ever happened to you? 

I did have time to eat, they were serving steak sandwiches, potato salad, beans, chips and a cookie. There was lemonade to wash it all down. Yummy!
