What A Weekend!

Well, peeps and peepettes,  pull up chair, top off that coffee,  I've got stuff to share...

First,  we had graduation on Saturday.  The Writer's Workshop is a very specialized program,  so no caps and gowns.  The ceremony was small and personal.  The pictures show him receiving his certificate from the head of the department and his class together.

On Sunday,  we headed out for breakfast and then to a fossil bed.  So beautiful and green.  And, we found fossils!  It wasn't too hard, the really nice ones were marked on the map. LOL

On Monday,  over to Kalona to visit the quilt museum and homes that were moved there for preservation.  There were two rooms of quilts, one English and one Amish.  The Amish are the darker colors,  English are the Sunbonnet Sue.  The exhibits change with the seasons.  The Amish quilts were my favorite.  Though, it was interesting to see the different versions of the Sunbonnet Sue quilts. 

I have pictures of the buildings,  but I  will put them on next time.  Have a wonderful Wednesday  and be kind to one another.

  1. He looks just like you! Such lovely, happy smiles. Congrats to him...I know he has to be thrilled. Such an exciting time in his life. The photos are lovely. All that red on the Amish quilts cracks me up. Love the sunbonnet sues. Hope you all have a blast and I am looking forward to more photos of your adventures. Wishing you a lovely day sweet friend. :)

    Thanks for sharing the pictures from the quilt museum. If I were near a quilt museum I would also visit and have a look at all the old beauties.
