It's Monday

It's almost 1 p.m. and I'm tired.  But then I've been a busy little bee today.  I rearranged three rooms. I only changed the stuff on the walls in my bedroom but that can be a major undertaking when you have to pull out the step ladder and work with a hammer.

 I wanted to hang the PTHS alumni quilt my sister-in-law made for me so I decided to rearrange some other wall quilts while I was at it.  She made the one on the far left too and I made the red one in the middle.  And yeah, that's a walker sitting there waiting for me.

 This is another wall of creations.  I only made a couple of these along with the quilt on the bed and the red bird puzzle on the side wall.

 Lill made the heart quilt and I made the 4 seasons tree thing hanging above it.

 My loveseat sits on sliders so I really enjoy pushing it around from time to time to try different spots.  It's a mental problem.

I wasn't going to set up my sewing machine room until Sept or October but I found myself getting bored and missing the hobby. Mary Gaboury sold me a little tv with a built-in VCR (plus 24 movies) so I just HAD to get it set up and ready for viewing in the sewing room

The fair yesterday wasn't very well attended.  Crowds were obviously down from previous years.  I didn't get to visit all the exhibits I wanted to because my back started sending little shock waves and ruined my planned visit.  Damn nuisance.
Here's a few I did take...  You can read descriptions and IDs on my Facebook page as I made an album there.

I heard there was a fist fight? or at the least a very loud argument that went on at the republican booth a few feet down from our Alumni space.  Wish I could have seen or heard that.  They had a lifesize standing poster of Trump displayed and I wanted to beat it with my stick every time I walked by.

Prices seemed a tad too much at many places. One couple was selling walking sticks and while they looked really great, I wonder if they had any luck in selling as they had $100 and $200 price tags on most of them.  Joyce was gonna buy us ice cream cones but they were charging $4 a scoop.  We opted to stop at McDonalds on the way home instead.  I know the cost of renting a booth space is pretty high so I guess that's the reason for the inflated costs.  Too bad.  I wouldn't be surprised if more booths go empty next year.  I know our booth cost $300 and there's no way we came close to making that on the stuff we were selling.

I did buy raffle tickets on three separate quilts but outside of a hamburger at the IOOF booth, I didn't spend any money at the fair. After our two-hour shift at the alumni booth, we ended up walking around for only an hour more. Joyce and I decided to stop at the casino on the way home to play the slots for a half hour or so. I lost my money but she made about $50.

Work is continuing on the house lots across the street. The largest of the homes will be directly across from my driveway. I think they have about 6 or 7 kids.

Nothing on my calendar all this week. Nothing next week either except a doctor appt.

I may paint a few more rocks, work on my jigsaw puzzle, and see what sewing project I want to start next.  Even though it's only August, I can feel the season slowly changing. Had to put an extra blanket on my bed last night.
