Saturday Roundup

I have been indoors for most of the week. Still did my walking, but used the treadmill most days with just a short walk for fresh air. Really until the last few days it has been much too icy for walking. Today we were well above freezing, which would have been perfect walking outdoor weather if it had not been raining.  

This morning Harvey and I went to the craft fair put on by the Kinette Club here in town. They had a little contest on Facebook, and I just happened to win two free entrance tickets. Great frugal save and a lovely hour was spent looking at new crafts......Seems like hair scrunchies are the biggest craft idea now. 

One lady was selling purses made out of cork from Portugal. Absolutely beautiful!!! Expensive, but beautiful and one of a kind.

We came home, I completed the second pair of pj bottoms and did some house cleaning. Slowly getting the house back in order. Major break down in the sewing/craft room however. I don't think that room will get really back to top tidiness until I manage to catch up on all my projects.

I was enjoying some Netflix while pinning, and Harvey was downstairs watching hockey when the phone rang. It turned out that Harvey won one of the door prizes today. Not really a male prize so now I am the proud owner of a lovely sparkly lip gloss and a bronzer from Younique.

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.

An Old Fashioned Threshing Bee and More

Today Harvey and I made a trip to Crosby, North Dakota. In all the years we have lived here we have never made the trip to see the annual threshing bee and this year we decided it was an adventure we needed to take in. So today, we jumped in the car and spent 5 hours immersed in the past.

After eating dinner we lined up to watch the parade. But first we gazed at a few old cars.

A friend of ours drove this beauty in the parade.

Aren't these beautifully restored. There were many more, some from as far away as California and Texas!!

The parade started at 1 pm. We could have taken many more pictures than we did, but I will share a few with you.

There were a few horse drawn carriages and buggies to start things off. I fell in love with the matched pairs. They were so gorgeous.

Next came some old tractors, many from Canada and a few were the only surviving ones. Two of the only known survivors came from Canada, nice to be well represented.

Now this next one is a bit newer, (not really new though) but Harvey can remember having one of these John Deere D's on the farm.

He says that his sister's drove this one more than he ever did.

I will share more pictures of this day next week. We took a great many of them.

Harvey enjoyed his day away from yard work, and anything that makes him happy makes me happy as well (at least he can't complain that I keep him chained to work this way). We have actually decided that more of these one day trips away will be of great benefit to both of us.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.
