Driving through the Ocooch Mountains I find so many barns and I just never stop to take their photos. I tell myself that I'll go back when I have the time. I've decided, if I'm by myself I will stop, and this is what I found the other day when I did. It doesn't look like it's being used anymore.
Here's another view of the barn and small building, you can see the small building leaning quite a bit from this angle.

One of the quilting projects I've been working on is a tree skirt. I took a class in the quilt shop in town and finished it yesterday. It wasn't easy taking this photo as it's pretty windy outside today. I love taking classes, as it gets me out of the house and I get to meet wonderful people.
The pattern didn't say to add any ties to it, but I did. I can either hide the ties like they did in the top photo or keep them out like the bottom photo.
The tree is going up today and I can't wait to see how it looks laying under the tree.
I'm still working on another quilt and I hope to finish that today, sometime between putting the tree up and heading to town.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Our son Dan and his wife Kelli came and they brought along their Godson Dylan.
It was a busy weekend with wagon rides.
A train ride and getting to see Santa.
It definitely was worth the wait.
We also spent some time at the park.
The only bad thing about going to the park in November, the drinking fountains are shut off for the winter.
I hope you all who celebrated Thanksgiving had a wonderful one. After our company left we took a long walk and settled down for a relaxing afternoon/evening. Today I'm off to a friends home to sew all day. I hope to show you what quilting projects I've been working on.
I'm giving thanks for my health and my family and friends, and for you my blogging friends. May you all have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.
I am taking some time off from this blog and my photo blog to spend time with family that will be here this weekend.
While driving through Wisconsin on my way to my weekend getaway with my sister and daughters, I passed these two barns that were side by side.
I liked how a 'regular' barn was right next to a tobacco barn. They both were still in great shape.

I've been meaning to stop and take a picture of this old school house and every time I pass it I think...Next time I will...and so I finally did.
From April 2011 Galveston Texas.
Driving North of where we live I came upon a barn and it's the kind I would like to have. We don't have a barn on our farm and I think this would match our log home just fine.

I've missed watching hockey since our boys were done playing. We got tickets to the Wisconsin Badgers hockey game Saturday night.
Face off...Wisconsin Badgers vs Minnesota Gophers who are number one right now in the nation, college Division 1 Hockey.
I'm still not used to seeing a commercial break during a game.
I loved looking around the stands and seeing the different kinds of hats everyone wore.
The lone color of yellow and green...Tho, I don't think the other fans minded at all seeing their beloved Packers are undefeated.
I never saw so much red in one place, and I spied a Black Hawk Fan amongst the Badger red. Whoohoo...Go HAWKS!!!
Here's Bucky...
The only goal for the night for the Badgers was the best by far...It was 4 on 4 at the time and all four of these Badger players touched the puck for the goal. The Badgers split the 2 game series with Minnesota, beating Minnesota 3-1, but losing this game 4-1.
It was a fun filled weekend of hockey, we also watched our grandson play in Madison on Sunday. Those photos I will post in another post.
