another beautiful day....

Hubby and I were just sitting around deciding what to do yesterday...I decided I would head up to the sewing room...I had an idea!! He was probably going to do what he does every weekend...Turn on FoxNews and lay on the couch with his laptop on his chest and scan ebay... lol

But it would have to wait as we got a phone call that the oldest daughter and her family were driving into St Louis and would we like to go to the Arch and Fitz's?

Um...Yea...

we had a great time!!

We left the Arch and drove down to the Delmar loop and had some dinner at Fitz's. It's very well known for the their extensive menu of hamburgers...so I got fish. They call the area the Delmar loop because the street cars would travel from downtown to University City and then make a loop to go back. It's a very diverse area with small shops, Blueberry Hill, tattoo parlors, vintage shops, bars, band venues and more...

So when we got home, I did a quick copy/paste of all the names that entered the contest... I certainly wasn't bored..There were 104 comments. That was a lot of printing and cutting... and here are all the names... I used the top of the nice cake server from the auction...

hubby drew the winning name...with Oliver looking on from the hearth

and our winner is KIM

I sent Kim an email...

and the prize was a One Years Subscription to McCalls Quick Quilts.

Thanks to all that entered... I heard from a lot of lurkers nice readers.

I think I will work on that idea today...
