Holly Hobbie

Years and years ago my Mom embroidered Holly Hobbie on this jean shirt for me. I think I was in middle school at the time. It was when Holly Hobbie was huge. She always told me that I could never get rid of the shirt because it was so much work to embroider it. So like a good daughter I kept it all these years. It just hung in my closet and moved with me everywhere I went. This summer when we went up to Diane and Rod's for the Becker family vacation I thought I would be funny and bring it up. I surprised Mom and wore it one day. It was funny, the first thing she said was how much work it was to make it :) I guess I will have to keep it a few more years......

The weather is finally turning colder and I am happy about it. My allergies have not been the best these last few weeks. I was glad it froze last night, that should help a lot.
We have made it out hunting a few times. I had a doe and two fawns come in the other night. I could have shot a fawn but I did not want to shoot such a little deer. The doe never came in where I could get a shot at her. Rick went out last night but I did not. I hate leaving for work at 5:00 in the morning  and then not getting home until 8:30-9:00 at night. It makes for a very long day especially if I have to get up the next day for work. Rick and Jese went out this morning. I have not heard from them yet so I don't know if they got anything or even saw anything. I hate morning hunting because I always get so cold and can never seem to warm up.

Yesterday was the Waseca Marching Band Classic. It is a huge deal in Waseca, bringing in high school bands from all over the state. They have a parade in the afternoon and then all compete. At the end they put on this huge fireworks display. I thought it would never end last night. Poor Dexter hates fireworks almost as bad as thunderstorms. One of these years I will actually have to go down and watch  the parade etc. Everyone is always telling me it is really good.

I am working my last weekend for this rotation. I am glad to be back on my 4 and 4's. Next weekend we are going camping with Jane and Paul at Beaver Creek State park. It should be a nice and relaxing weekend. We also have 2 weddings and I have the half marathon in Oct. It is going to be a busy month. I really need to get out running more. It is hard to fit it in between, work and hunting. I did have a very good 6.5 mile run the other night. I felt like I could have ran a lot longer. The cool weather helps.

I finished sewing my second dress yesterday after work. I don't like it as much as the first one I made. I think I will wear it for Thanksgiving.

Well I guess that is about it for now.

Later Sharon
