This is copied from the sewing threads but wanted to share here as well.... Our visit with Thea and her hubby Bernie last weekend.....

We did have a wonderful time and most of it was spent just talking and chatting about Everything. I think we solved the problems of the world six times over and in six different ways!!! We enjoyed a dinner here at home on Friday night. I made chicken cacciatore for them. Then Elaine and her hubby came over for coffee and apple crisp for dessert. Was an enjoyable evening. Did I post a picture? If I did I'm sorry to duplicate...
This is Thea, Elaine and I. We sat up late just chatting while Norm and Bernie were in bed sound asleep.

The next morning, Thea and I went to my local quilt shop and Norm took Bernie for a tour of the town. Thea suffered from fabric overload at first. There must be close to 3000 bolts of fabric and she had never seen a shop so large. The owner took special care to see that Thea had any help she needed. It was so much fun to watch her as every time she turned around it was "Look at this!!" Needless to say we both spent $$$$$.

Then we went back to town for Schnitzelfest. Thea comes from Germany and we had fun. There was a OMMPAH band playing and German food and the deserts were also to die for. (We have a German bakery here in town and I Love the pretzels...) They did the cooking and there were all kinds of sausage as well as pork schnitzel. There was sauerkraut and red cabbage and potato salad and rolls. And of course the was German beer. Bernie had some and said it was a good one.

I took Thea to my fabric storage and we pulled some fabrics for her to take home. I have so much and fabric is expensive in Canada so I'm glad to help. We had stuffed ourselves at the festival to the point where we really didn't want to eat dinner Sat night. So instead, we went for ice cream!!!!
Fun way to end a day. Again we sat and chatted and watched a bit of TV and then off to bed we went as they had to drive home the next day.

Up bright and early Sunday morning and Norm cooked a breakfast for us all. They headed out about 9:30am and Thea called at 3:30 pm. They had made a stop for lunch so I figure they traveled about 5 hours. They took different routes coming and going so I'm not really sure of travel times. I know the next visit is for Norm and I to go there. I shall look forward to that and hope we can do it before the snow flies and if not, just as soon as the snow goes!!! Now that I have this passcard, I want to use it!!! I must thank Betty for if it weren't for her, I probably never would have gotten one!!!!
