so its the week of the Ada Mn county fair and grandson Brody and his Brother have  been busy helping with the cows and getting ready to show. so it was a short road trip Friday morning! he has been showing since he was a lil one. and i haven't missed watching him yet!

i think this was the first year he showed a calf

he was 1 1/2yrs old in 2010.

Brody and his brother Dane entered some things in 4H

Stayed Home Today... Raining.

This was last Saturday, it was cold and windy but no rain til we were home and unloaded. Today tho i called it and said we were not going as it is raining here. Auntie Mary says its nice there at the market tho.. i hope they have a good morning! i just can not get my soaps wet, i went through that last year and had fans blowing on my soaps for days... so stayed home. (car is 1/2 loaded)

we had lots of company and LOTS Of SALES, making it an above average morning!

Auntie Mary had scheduled a wonderful food truck! great menu!

Rainy Day Garden Party, Family & Friends!

i was asked by my friend Sheila if i would come sell my soaps/baskets at the green house in ADA, MN (about 40 min drive) its a lovely greenhouse!
 so i left early that day to go to my grandson Brodys ball game. as we were sitting there the weather started looken iffy..

It started pouring with wind and lightning! the game was canceled!

so i hung around a bit and stopped by the green house to say hi and bye, 

as it was still pouring out...

but Sheila grabbed me and said your not going anywhere

It's a nice fun greenhouse and they do lots of activities with the public
