Saturday my friend Kathy participated in a Colonial Days in East Berlin, PA. She and several other friends set up a booth to sell their "wares". They close the Main Street and one both sides of the street are booth after booth of people demonstrating different things, food and crafts. I was a little worried for her on my way out there as it was just pouring rain - but when I got closer to York, PA it was down to a drizzle. When I got there I ended up finding her and Beth - not at their booth - but shopping! So was able to "shop" with them. Always fun to shop with those two I was really good and just "window shopped" - of course I was chanting in my head "do i really need this, do I, yes, no yes no yes no yes not" and so on but I behaved.
Here's a pic of Kathy in front of her booth - it was chilly out - poor girl's ankles were blue! But notice - she has a bag and did some shopping!
On the way home I stopped at some primitive stores and one was having an open house - again I did good and just "looked" It wasn't until I stopped at a thrift store where I bought 11 paperbacks - they were having 1/2 price Media sale! So for $3.40 i couldn't lose! I love to read and I tell you - it's getting really expensive to buy a book these days! Love finding them at yard sales and thrift stores, and of course the paperback traders.
Haven't picked up my hook since Thursday, again you can see why - He loves laying on my frame!
Jonesy does make me laugh on a daily basis as Riley and Miles always has done - he's very vocal and chirps all the time and he bounces - guess I should have called him Tigger - I do believe he has built-in springs. He's really a lot of fun to have around - always curious and has to know what you're doing - yesterday I was changing the sheets and he helped me re-sheet the bed - literally - he would help push the fitted part down over the mattress - he does this with all four corners - it's really too cute - then when i put the pillowcases on - I'm shaking the pillow in and he's hanging on the other side! What a helper! Of course Riley joins in and then I have to pretend to pound out the lumps under the sheets - they both just love this! Yep - takes me about 1/2 hour to change the sheets but the fun they have is worth it as I get a lot of giggles from them.
After I got dinner on the stove I went into the living room to sit and read my book for a bit - This box over the TV is where Riley always sits - well guess who got up there today! And guess who wasn't happy that someone stretched out on his turf!
Riley tried to get up on the shelf and also on the curtain rod - I had to run over and tell him no - Kittens!
Wishing everyone a good creative week!

Love your background... Oh my goodness, Jonesy IS getting bigger. He can get up in Riley's spot! Too cute. I'm surprised Riley didn't chase him off. Such a tolerant bigger brother lol.
Thanks for coming out to see me on Saturday!!
Ooo, Joanne, reading about all of your activities makes me jealous. About the only thing for us, coming up the last weekend of September, is Cider Days. It's a huge arts/crafts fair with (what else) CIDER being a big part of the drinks and food offered. The cider is pressed right in front of you on an old antique press. It's delicious. But I sure remember back to our days in Maine when there were so many activities to choose from, depending on how far you wanted to drive.
Jonesy is so darn cute. I think you could send him to my house for a long, extended visit just about any time. LOL.

I can so relate to the story of Jonesy helping you make the bed. Zoe loves to get under each layer of covers on our bed so I have to move her each time and she thinks it's a grand game! She finally settles under the quilt and will stay there for hours!

I was laughing out loud as I read about changing the bed linens! Zip and I change the sheets together so we can both have the joy of playing with the cats on the bed.
Have a great time at all the fairs and festivals. They sound like fun!
Hope to see you soon!
You live in a great area to do fun things, we have no good craft fairs here. Isn't it funny how kitties have their spots and are no happy when the other takes over. Dora is like that too, now she gives Izzy the look and bats her in the head when she walks by, lol.
