Typical...

This is the picture I choose to share with you guys, 'cause this was just so typical. I have something goofy to say and Sarah is laughing her head off. Typical. I made a comment about us standing in front of "a historical landmark." But it was the only bit of shade we could find out here on the prairie. Yeah, that tumble down "historical landmark" is my house. A while back, I remember Bonnie suggested we all post pictures of our houses, and I was appropriately horrified! Well, there's it's "good" side!

We had such a blast for our yearly birthday bash. These are our quilts that we made for each other. I made the green with fabric Sarah gave me and she made the red from fabric I gave her. The only rule this year was that the quilts would only have one color. Simple. I think they both turned out smashing. We went to Pendleton and ate lunch at our favorite tea house, and then did some shopping. Did some more shopping. Ate some more. That pretty much sums up the weekend. We did some dying. Fabric, that is. (We left it to sit, overnight, and Sarah asked if it would be acceptable to rinse the fabrics out on the Lord's day. I said I figured it was no different than getting our ox out of the ditch, metaphorically.) We ate some more- she has a favorite Chinese restaurant here and they trearted her like a queen with heaping platefulls- since she came all the way from Alabama! She's gone now, sniff, and I wonder if they will give me sympathy platefulls...
