A day in Marshall...

I'm really looking forward to this weekend!

My sister, Karen (#2) is coming down with her dog, Louie. Jacob loves Louie (and he's not allergic to him)...and we're always glad to have my sister too. ;)

To the point, Karen and I are going to Marshall on Saturday. We're going to do the Tour of Homes, a church's Salad Smorgasbord luncheon, and meeting our sister, Cindy (#1) for the quilt show. Maybe, just maybe, I can talk them into finishing up at the Chocolate Cook-Off!?! There is also an art fair, a farmer's market and a bunch of other events. Karen and Cindy have gone to this before - I have not. And, I'm very excited to go with them.

I remember once, when I was a kid. Cindy and Ron, Karen and Mike, and some other people (don't remember who) were all going together to watch fireworks for July 4. I remember thinking then - when I grow up, I'll be able to go and do fun stuff with them too. I wasn't angry, hurt, or even jealous at the time - I just remember looking forward to being able to go with them as a grown up.

I'm planning to take my Nikon and see what I can see. I've learned a few things about my camera in the past week (I got a Nikon D60 for Dummies book). And I am anxious to try them out! Wish me luck!

Also, a huge plus here...Jacob is staying home with his Daddy-O (as he calls Jeremy) and then going with G & G 'Fif' for the afternoon. So, I (me, Gail, mommy), actually get to go somewhere, on a weekend WITHOUT my child. And THAT. Never happens!

Hopefully, I'll have some good pictures for you next week!
