MEA Weekend in Minnesota
Every year the school students in Minnesota get 2 days off at the end of October so the teachers can attend the annual education conference. Our family has turned this weekend into a hunting weekend up at North. Daddy (and sometimes Mommy with her camera) goes out in search of the sometimes elusive ducks and geese making their way south for the winter and the boys get some time with their Papa and Gima Melon. So far this year daddy has gotten 2 ducks and mommy has knit a couple Christmas ornaments, a dolly sweater and a couple dishclothes. The boys have explored the woods, played football and just enjoyed being kids with nothing to do but PLAY!

New Additions to The Weekend Cottage
An Excursion To The Zoo
On Monday my oldest didn't have school so the boys, my mom and I all drove to the other side
of the city to meet my cousin, her 2 girls and her mom (my mom's sister) and go to the Minnesota Zoo. What an incredible day we had. We made it there just in time for the shark feeding which was fascinating. We then spent 3 hours walking all over the zoo. The highlights were the new Russian Coast exhibit and my favorite - the Minnesota Trail.

A Purse For A Friend
A New Adventure!!!
My mother-in-law and I have moved into our new endeavor today! We rented a booth at Weekend Cottage Antiques and are excited to see how it all goes. The shop is open Friday - Sunday and is located in Clear Lake, MN just off Cty. Rd 10 (not to far off of I94 from Clearwater). My in-laws have been antique dealers since they retired from teaching over 10 years ago. This is my first go (outside of a few things in my in-laws shops). I have included some of my homemades - I am calling that little side business "Remnants" being that I use remnants from the past in the form of antiques and antique sewing notions as well as remnants of yarn and fabric that I try to put to use in new ways.
