We took a long weekend to visit my grandparents in Tucson. My mom Karen and stepdad Ted who were also visiting, graciously offered us to stay with them. They had found a wonderful desert retreat complete with welcoming coyotes howling in the night.
Honey Crisps are here!
As the sparrow goes to Capistrano, so do Jeff and I…. to Apple Festival Day. We go there to pick out pumpkins and buy that prize of all apples Honey Crisps. To pet the piglets and take a hayride, to gaze at the spectacular foliage and… oh, who am I kidding, we go every year to get the fresh made caramel apples! So good…. so very, very good….
Tie-dye results
And here are the final results of our Tie-Dye Day. I must say this is some of my best work. The color combinations and patterns are all quite outstanding. (If I do say so, and I do.) Jeff and I are looking forward to next year!
Ta-da Tie-dye
Some fashions should remain in history. Others should make comebacks, such as the tie-dye arts from the 60s. We attended the 4th Annual Tie-dye Day for a splash of creative color transforming white shirts, socks, and handkerchiefs into wearable art. Many thanks to party planners Julia and Shelby.
Hometown Parade
Who can resist the temptation of seeing a parade? We sure can’t. We headed to downtown Beaverton to wander the farmers market and then grab a good street corner to view the hour plus long parade. Note to self: next time bring some cute kids so as to collect the plentiful candy being thrown to the crowd.
