Amana Colonies Get-Away

What a WONDERFUL weekend we had!!!
We had perfect sunny weather for our shopping adventure. We arrived there around 10:15 am and hit the shops. We can't wait to tell about our trip, there are so many fun and funny things to talk about.

Here are a few pictures of the trip. Enjoy.

Chicago Part 2 - Windy City Scrapbooking

Weekend in Chicago

Yep, that's me modeling in a shop in Chinatown.

Great shot of downtown Chinatown.

All the street signs are in English and Chinese.

Me in Millenium Park around 11:00 p.m.

From Red to Black, that's where we're at!

We'll ladies, I think that our garage sale was a success in the sense that I think we are now at least $50.00 dollars to the good now. With a quick count by Shirley on Saturday night, she informed me that our profit was $450.00. If I remember correctly we were in the red by $325.00 or so. This will get us to the positive side and give us a good jump start for the year.
Thanks to everyone and a special thanks to Shirley for her extra efforts and being our cashier the whole day. And also a special thanks to Renee (Elaine's Daughter) for all of her help with setting up and taking down the sale. She was a great help to us by making the cloths rack and setting up tables.
See everyone in 3 weeks at Beginning Day.
