I’ve been out of touch lately, but had to come back and recognize that it’s time to spread some love around. So, take what little you can from this, and pass it around.

Terry, Carolann, Cliff, and Susie rolled into town yesterday to visit Bethany Lutheran Church’s Annual Quilt Show (BLCAQS).

It’s quite a busy affair and there are dozens of beautiful quilts on display.

Some of the quilts are old heirlooms but most of them are new creations by very talented ladies. Diane has quilts that she always took to share, but I totally missed the need for me to get them there.

There’s always food, too. Chicken Noodle Soup, Clam Chowder, Egg Salad and Chicken Salad Sandwiches, and a vast variety of pies and cakes. I made fudge for the dessert sale. I guess it was good. I made another batch for the 2nd day (today) in case they run out of My Fudge.

I’m sorry I failed to get photos of people eating but I was too busy eating. I did, however, get this photo of Valerie working hard at the raffle table.

After visiting the display, me and our Winnebago Friends returned to our abodes where some of us took their nap while others walked a busy little dog. I missed my nap, but Max was happy to drag me around the neighborhood for a while. He’s such a good little critter.

We found an area above the moor age where he can run willy nilly off leash. I find it funny that most of the photos I take of him are from behind, as he walks away, but rarely of him coming back. But, he always comes back.

Last Thursday I gave Max a bath in the deep sink and he was really happy about that. It’s been a while and he was in dire need of a cleaning. Now he’s nice and shiney again. He tolerates the bath, but his favorite part is getting dried off. There’s something about a towel that really gets him excited and he lines right up for his rub down. Funny guy.

Yesterday, after the quilt show, the Winnebago Folks wanted to visit The Farm On The Roof for supper. This venue is located on top of a building in downtown St. Helens. They started out in a food cart at The Lodge in Scappoose and Diane and I went often for their Smash Burgers. The food cart name is Pig, Cow, Spud which gives you a narrative of what they serve. It’s all good and I highly recommend them either at The Farm, or one of their food carts in Scappoose or St. Helens. They also have a presence at the Wildwood Golf Course. They are popular people.

I’m sorry I didn’t get a shot of Carolann in action, but hers didn’t show up right away. Top to bottom is Susie with her small cup of Chili, Cliff with his Brisket Spud, and Terry with his Plain Old Spud with butter and cheese. I got a bowl of chili that I couldn’t eat and Carolann got a turkey bacon sandwich. It was all good.

Now, as I sit here, Max is making it known that he hasn’t been outside yet and it’s time to get busy,, Therefore, I must go and get busy.

See you later.
