My husband and I went on a mini vacation (Thursday thru today). We went to Portland, Oregon to see a concert and do a bit of shopping. We went and seen The Moody Blues at the Keller Auditorium. What a nice place.

Needless to say we had a lot of fun. We stopped at Craft Warehouse in Salem and Fabric Depot in Portland. Also we went to the OSMI museum in Portland, toured a very cramped but interesting submarine, several neat exhibits lots of little munchkins were wandering about (field trip day I think).

Have fun with all your stuff!

They sounded wonderful, played a bunch of new stuff. And of course a few of the oldies. The drummer stole the show though, he turned 70 a few months ago and was hopping around like a teenager during a solo.

sueisallaboutquilts 06-04-2011 02:13 PM

No way!!! That's great, wow 70????? lol
Wait till I tell my hubby. He's the one who got into them before me. Great group!
Glad you had fun :)

MisDixie 06-04-2011 02:21 PM

Did the drummer use his line about the 60's? I am still chuckling about that.

NancyG 06-04-2011 02:24 PM

Sounds like a perfect vacation. Nice stuff you picked up.

I love the stick critters. They are so cute.

Maggie_1963 06-04-2011 03:22 PM

gotta love it when stuff follows you home and falls in your basket! Glad you had a fun trip, lots of goodies!

Love that space fabric. What I wouldn't give to get to Fabric Depot one day. They are one of my favorite on line ordering spots.

alikat110 06-04-2011 04:27 PM

Have you used "the fabulous fabric glide" yet? I just googled it, and it looks pretty interesting. I'm curious how well it works.

sisLH 06-04-2011 06:09 PM

I love that Eagle panel -the white snow stands out so much, I almost think I'd have to add a some sort of white with gold border. I have the magnetic rocks -it's surprising how they come in handy.

Great way to spend your vacation! Have seen the Moody Blues a few times and love them.

Yooper32 06-05-2011 03:59 AM

Gee, Moody Blues. Hadn't thought about them in a long time. Had no idea they still performed. Ah, the "good ol' days". Must have been a blast, going to see and hear them.

Baloonatic 06-05-2011 05:15 AM

My favorite band of all time!! They just played at Cal Poly a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for all the replies!!

We did have a blast, we spent most of our first day home yesterday just lounging. Had to rest up from the vacation......lol

Today is chore day, if the lawn is dry enough the lawn mover is making its first appearance this season. And I need to clean the fridge out and go grocery shopping.

grannypat7925 06-05-2011 08:57 AM

What a luscious haul! Sounds like a wonderful trip!

purplefiend 06-05-2011 11:00 AM

OraLee 06-05-2011 11:52 AM

Love everything. But I love the stick critters the most.

Crazy Quiltin Robin 06-05-2011 12:03 PM

am I to assume that you would be left handed also ..... that explains why your shopping trip resembles mine ...........lol......you did good lefty!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

BettyGee 06-05-2011 12:37 PM

Love your new buddies, if you can't find them you will know where to look.

The Moody Blue are one of my all time favorites. They were here recently and I talked to a friend that got to see them and said they are just as good as ever.

The wildlife fabric is beautiful, recognize some that I have also. Love anything with animals. The eagle panel is beautiful.

So happy to know you had such a wonderful time. Thanks for thinking of us and sharing.
