Fun Saturday

I've had a fun day so far. This morning I went with three friends to Plover, a nearby town. The church there has a nut and bake sale every year. With it they have homemade pie and coffee and lunch. We just had pie this year because then Terri and I went on to Laurens to the Heart 'N Home store that was having a Christmas Open House today. The owner of this store did our P.E.O. wine tasting that I blogged about this summer.

She is now carrying a new line of dip mixes that we sampled along with a bunch of other little food bites and wine. Her son has helped her make some new soy candles. We liked almost every scent (not too strong) and they poured them into different glasses that they found at garage sales or auctions. I got a cranberry balsam one that is in a champagne glass. Some were in clear glass tea cups. My pictures today are not the best.

Then we checked out two antique shops and another shop in town.

Bill was going pheasant hunting today. Good thing they started early this morning. It's super windy here this afternoon. We're supposed to be having 45 mph gusts. At least the sun is shining and it's not too cold yet. Days like this we're glad to not have any big trees near the house! I'm wondering how the hunters did. Very few pheasants were seen during harvest.

Bill wants to take me out to eat tonight! The Ft. Dodge Mineral City burned down a year or more ago and has been rebuilt. Bill hasn't been there since they reopened. (we had our first date there) It used to be more rustic with a lot of wood but is now modern looking decor and has a new menu.
