We are staying busy

Kayla's 15th birthday. I wish we could have done a bigger party, but we don't know all that many people yet, and I don't think that cows make good party guests!


Charles is lounging out around the house enjoying the fact that we finally have a wireless hook up!


We saw a sign advertising a "Strawberry Festival" a few weeks back and we put it on our calendar. We all understood that this would be a very small festival since it was in the town of Roseville. Roseville is so small. (How small is it?) It's so small that they don't even have a traffic light! But they did have this cool banner that advertised the festival that we've all been looking forward to. Well. We knew there wouldn't be any rides. We thought that there might be a craft booth or two, possibly some low-tech games like bean bag toss or the duck pond thing. Nope. When we arrived (a tad early 'cause we were excited!) we sat in the car and waited for it to open. It was being held in the fellowship hall of the town church. Uh-oh. Then as cars started arriving we noticed that we were the youngest there-by a long shot! Uh-oh. So we started heading in when a man asked us if we were here for the dinner or just berries. He instructed us that the dinner line was on the left and dessert was on the right. We moved to the right and started talking to the lady who was setting up the ice cream for the dessert tables. Holy Moly. They had over a half dozen machines all filled with home made ice cream. OK. So there were no games. No craft booths. But they had THE most wonderful strawberry shortcake!! BISCUITS for the base (happy, Ginni?!) Fresh strawberry sauce. And the most divine vanilla ice cream I've had since I was little and we cranked our own. We had the dogs and we sat down on an outside picnic table and since Kiwi was there we made friends fast! Kiwi was a MAJOR hit and as we were leaving Kayla said, "Kiwi sure was popular! They might have made the strawberries, but Kiwi made the festival!"


After we didn't stay long at the festival we decided to go to the movies instead. Off to Wellsboro and the closest movie theatre. We saw Harry Potter and it was great! But I loved the marquee so much I had to share the photo. I am so enjoying P365-it forces you to take photos all the time and of stuff you would normally just walk past. For you P365'ers-Do you just sit and re-look at your year-so-far of photos? I know I do!


That's all the news from our bit of the woods!
