Unfortunately my visit to "the keeping room" was not as wonderful as Staces.....My friend Stella drove down from Akron and I drove to Waynesburg to meet her and go shopping. Now Waynesburg is in the middle of nowhere....and there is NOTHING else to do for at least 26 miles in any direction.The hours were posted on the website and the door.... 11:00-4:00 Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Hanging right above that was a big fat CLOSED sign, to the left was an explanation that shows were too time consuming and the shop would remain unopened until late November. We peeked in the window and wanted in to spend our money, when in the driveway pulled a vehicle, OH BOY, I was positive the owner would not mind walking the few steps from her residence to the little shop and then driving to the bank with all of our money. Nope a quick rebuff and she went on about her day....and ruining ours. hmmmmm think I will just skip it.

Halloween at the Ludwigs

Last week started out like this....a night of craving "punkins"...O.K. so my kids are 28 and 35 but what the heck....kids are kids no matter what the age on the week of Halloween. They can be mature adults next week. but wait....

tonight........my home was invaded by pirates....and wenches.

I am sure it's gona be wild and fun sailing ahead for this evening.

What a perfect weekend.

Cousins arrived Friday from New Jersey, Missouri, and Kansas for a long overdue visit....I never had a chance to know these wonderful people until a few years back....and now I know I sure missed out. I had the best time and will cherish every moment I did finally get.

This was also the Algonquin Mill festival weekend.....the weather was fabulous, crowds were super and sales really kept you on your toes. My daughter and I have done this show many years and I do believe this was one of the best....after three days of rain the sun came out, lite up all the fall foliage for the opening day.. and that beautiful weather continues the entire three days.....A VERY SUCCESSFUL CRAFT SHOW

THIS IS ONE HAPPY GIRL

Thank you, Mr.Bird.....the morning glories you left look wonderful as they twist and turn, winding their way to the top of my birdcage. What a beautiful, happy accident.
