Grand Adventure

My brother and his family came to visit us in LaPine. It was a wonderful time of catching up and hanging out with my big brother. I miss the time we used to spend just talking about each other’s lives, and getting his input/advice.

We went to Sisters to attend the Quilt Show. I’m comfortable in my masculinity to share that with you! And my brother needed a dude wingman. We walked through town, ate a lunch, and actually didn’t have too bad a day of it. Believe it or not, we found a quilt someone wanted over $9000 for. I’m not making that up. The guys in the group, our criterion for a quilt??? “yeah, but does it keep me warm?” Not $9000 warm I tell you.

The next day we watched some of the World Cup, then played outdoor games. I challenged Greg to a game of bean-bag toss (I made a second set for the LaPine house). If you know my brother, you know how competitive he is. The loser would have to eat a jalapeno-stuffed marshmellow. Not the normal size marshmellow either, but one of the new ones that is very large designed for campfires. Greg took his loss like a man, and managed to choke down the appetizer I made up for him.

It was a great time of visiting, and I hope to squeeze in something like that with my sister and her family this weekend.
