Our game playing group here in the NEO Retreat Center where we are parked with the motorhome, invited us to eat with an adult fellowship group from their church in Newton Falls, Wednesday, July 17th. It was a lively, fun group. We'll have to share some of the activities with our home church Agape SS Class!!
The ladies first put on a style show!! To our surprise their husbands were the models!!
 |
| Must be bed time!! |
 |
| I think "she" just needs a little anatomy addition!! |
 |
| And a shopping "she" will go!! The model even made his/her own shoes!! |
 |
| Our retired preacher friend, Jim!! |
 |
| I think the painter is too eager to get at his job!! Preacher Jim's wife in the background. |

Awesome carry-in table of food!! We sure were not on a diet that day!! We'll also have to share some more games!!
Saturday, July 20th, we spent much of our day in Salem for a little time in their Annual Kiwanis Antiques in the Park. But it sure has changed from when it was ART in the Park years back when Gary showed his art there. We also went to the United Quilt Show in the gymnasium at First Friends Church. Now that show was much the opposite in show and attendance!! It was awesome and I have to share pictures from it!! This is just a small portion of what was shown there.
 |
| I thought this tree with the quilt award pins on display was a good idea for us TOPS people with all of our TOPS awards over the years. It would even work for girl scouts, and such. |
 |
| The woman showing this had collected all of the Amish patterns that another woman put on the market in 2018. This woman traveled all over the country to collect all of the original prints. |
 |
| I was in awe of this!! It is embroidered with eleven shades of grey floss in addition to the white.. The whole picture is solid embroidery. I can't imagine how many hours went into this picture!! |
 |
| Lynn, I thought of you when I saw this placemat!! |
 |
| This is not a good picture on my part, but Victor, I thought of you from years back when you expressed an interest in having a star quilt made. I got the material, but never got any further!! Maybe some day - - - |
 |
| And I always appreciate patriotic things!! |
 |
| WOW! And to think someone might be that thin!! |
 |
| Best Theme Quilt!! Very tedious looking blocks. |
 |
| Very lovely, intricate quilting probably because it is done my machine!! |
 |
| Ah-h-h, another patriotic look. |
I really can't express all that I felt looking at this display. I think that I should change from scrapbooking to quilting!! But even that would be a lot to carry with us!! Maybe when we settle some day!!
We also stopped at a few garage sales that day. I saw a love seat and a lawn glider that I wish I had a place and use for them!! They were in awesome condition and very low price. Oh well!!
Our son, Richard and his wife are finally getting their pool in. I can't wait to get in it. This would have been the perfect HOT day, but they are too busy with other things!! Maybe next week.
One day when we left our park we were greeted by the flock of turkeys crossing the road. By time I got my phone out, it was almost too late to take the pictures!! Enlarge them so you can see them better.
Gary spent an evening with Victor taking pictures of his individual drawings and paintings so that he can get some of them entered in an ART Show for next July (2020). It takes so long to get all lined up for a juried show. But he is very happy. I will show you some of his art in my next Blog!!
Hope that you are all enjoying your summer in spite of the humidity!! Take care and God Bless!!
