We have told everyone around here that we’re coming back next spring. Why? Let me count the reasons why: Continue reading

Music in the courtyard
After work this afternoon Mark and I saw several musicians starting to set up to play in the courtyard outside the office. As they were tuning their instruments I jumped on my bicycle back to our place and grabbed our camera. Continue reading
Workamper Fabrics
My friends and co-workers, Katherine Plahmer and Rosanne Curran, are also quilters. Each of them has taken me to Barn Door Quilts in Sturgeon Bay. In fact, Rosanne went to school with the owner so she introduced me to her. I have been to a couple of quilt stores here in Door County and have hoped they’d have some fabric that typified Door County. The closest I’ve come is cherry fabric and nautical fabric.

Quilt show
Kathy watches out for me! Yesterday she told me that the Corner of the Past and the Old Anderson House Museum was having a quilt show because she knows I like to quilt. I didn’t end up making it there yesterday and I thought I’d missed my chance, but Katherine watches out for me too. I saw her in the bathroom this morning and she told me it was on today as well. As soon as Mark and I finished with morning rounds we headed to the museum in Sister Bay. Continue reading
An outing with a friend
This morning at 9:00 a woman named Katherine came to pick me up for a Girls’ Day Out. Katherine is one of the seasonals here, but she also works in the office. She is a quilter, and when she found out I am too, she offered to take me to a quilt shop I’ve been wanting to see in Sturgeon Bay. Continue reading
The best laid plans…
Today was to have been our touring day and we loaded our bicycles on the back of the truck, but we never got “a round tuit”. We did, however, take pictures of various stops we made on our way to and from the VA in Green Bay. Here are today’s pictures… Continue reading
A-liners
This weekend we have a group of A-liners staying at Wagon Trail Campground. They’re having an A-liner rally. They’ve been coming in throughout the week, but today most of the rest of them arrived. “What is an A-liner?” you might be asking yourself. I grabbed a picture off Google images to show you: Continue reading
Car show
This has been our first big weekend of the season at Wagon Trail Campground. Yesterday (Saturday) Mark and I had an inkling that the bathrooms were going to be full when we did our morning rounds, so we started half an hour earlier. The bathrooms were crowded and we were barely able to do our job, so this morning we tried going in at 7:00. They were still crowded, and Mark and I were both dragging all day from lack of sleep. We have finally decided that there’s no beating the mad rush for the showers, so from now on we’ll stick to checking at 8:00 just deal with the crowds as best we can. Continue reading
Trial run
This afternoon Mark finished calibrating my bicycle odometer and we took our bikes out for a trial run. Continue reading
The most wonderful husband in the world!
Mark has been wanting to buy me a new sewing machine for several years. Every time we walked into a fabric store (yes, he comes in with me) he goes over to look at the sewing machines. I wasn’t convinced I needed one until a few days ago when my bobbin winder broke. Continue reading
