Weekend recap

We're back after a quick trip to Atchison and St. Joe to visit family last weekend. It also was Oktoberfest in Atchison where we spent Saturday with J selling her quilts. I have to say my favorite part of the trip was surprising Mim on Friday morning; we were able to take her to the doctor appointment and to the grocery store. I know we won't get many chances to spend time like that with Mim so I snapped up as many photos as she'd let me.

-I loved this milk display so much I had to snap a photo-

We also took Robert to lunch on Friday and then for a round of putt-putt where I ended up owing Jeremy $4.75 from our little wager of a quarter a stroke. Jeremy is such a sweet great-grandson and son, these probably don't do him justice.

Saturday started out cold and windy, thank goodness Bec loaned me her coat, Jeremy used a quilt since he didn't take a coat. The quilts were gorgeous as usual with her booth on the Mall, just down from Nell Hills. Jeremy was a great salesman and manned the booth most of the day. I took a brief hiatus to get all sorts of lovelies from Nell Hills.

Sunday Jeremy and I both took a break from the family and did something we both loved for a few hours. He golfed at a course in St. Joe while J and I went to Nell Hills in Briarcliff. I told you I love that place and am so glad we made it to both locations. While they both might be NH, there is a difference in lovelies at each location. More lovelies came back with both of us and now I have more loot waiting for transport. Good thing we had one car to load our goods in, they wouldn't have lasted on the plane. Jessica introduced me to Mary Carol and she was very gracious. Jeremy and I made it back to Atchison for a final family BBQ with the Ross clan and had a great time visiting with all of them. I really enjoyed visiting with Frank and Irma to learn more about their time in Germany when they met. (On a big side note, Jeremy and I are trying to make our way to Germany to meet Irma's sister and nephew. It would be a great trip.) A quick stop at the ice cream shop and we were on our way back to St. Joe to see Mim one more time. A very quick trip but we were able to visit with lots of family. Very priceless!
