Last week was Veteran's Day. In honor of the day, our little office of 8 put together boxes for the troops. Also, one of our co-workers is the wife of a Major in the marines who has done 2 tours of duty. She knows first hand how much cheer a box from home can bring. With the help of my friend Jill and my mom, we had enough stuff to do 11 boxes! I LOVE putting boxes together for the military. It's a way to do a good deed for others and to feel good about yourself without a bunch of hoopla! We all agreed that this is something we would like to do on a regular basis.
Renaissance Fair
Saturday was a beautiful day! Beautiful blue skies. Sunshine. Cool weather. It was a perfect day to be outside! I started the day out by getting my hair cut and colored. Changed up my color a bit. Went dark brown with lots of red in it. You can really see the red in it when out in the sun. I am so loving it. It was time for a change!!!
Celestine, Jill, Joy and I all piled up in the car and went to Hammond for the Renaissance Fair. It was a great afternoon spent outdoors looking at the different booths, watching a Birds of Prey show, a joust and the numerous people in costume. Joy and I had some fun at the hat shop trying on hats. I swear that Jill and Celestine were there with us, they are camera shy!
Stitching Update
This past week I focused on the Mad Tea Party. I was just on a roll and felt like I was making great progress so I just had to keep on with it!
