My "Momcation"!

My friend, Dianne, and I went to Sisters, OR for their annual quilt festival. Neither of us are quilters, but it was something fun we could do that our husbands and children would not feel jealous about missing! And even though I do not quilt (I've made only one pieced quilt in my lifetime) I do appreciate the art and talent involved. We left in the morning...no packing...no kids...no schedule...no stress...and just drove over to Sisters for a fun relaxing "momcation" for the day! It really was a lot fun but, as always, I ended up missing my kids. What can I say, I LOVE being a mom!


Dianne and I in front of one of the thousands of quilts hanging up all over town.

More quilts hanging on the side of one of the buildings.

Check out this quilted PT Cruiser!!!! Whoa! That is a lot of work and it was done by a quilting group from Lebenon! That is where Nathan works!

We viewed the quilts, went shopping in some cute shops and then we took a break and sat to listen to this harpist play. Before long a flutist joined in and Dianne was up there singing! What a concert! Dianne has one of the most beautiful singing voices I have ever heard! What a fun day!

We pulled into town just in time to tell our husbands to meet us for a movie! Dianne's oldest daughter babysat all the children at our home and Nathan and Joel met us to watch "The Proposal".
It was a good day.
