This is going to be rather short as I'm going on vacation tomorrow. Won't be gone long though. I feel like I'm taking mini vacations.

On Friday morning DH drove me down to my mom's (MaryC), in Nanaimo. He hung around long enough to show off my new car then he was off to do DH stuff. Mom, Kim (Nursekim), and I headed over to Timmy's for lunch where we met up with nephew (S), who drove us all down to the Cowichan Exhibition aka fall fair, just north of Duncan. I thought I'd taken a picture of the arts and crafts building too but all I can find is the horse competition.


Beautiful beasts.



By the time we returned to Nanaimo it was time for dinner. Someone suggested Chinese and I was all for that. After gorging on sweet & sour pork, deep fried prawns, chow mein and a host of other tasty morsels at the buffet we waddled back to mom's to rest our feet.

Saturday morning we attended the Vancouver Island Fibre Festival in Nanaimo's new convention centre where I amassed an embarrassing amount of fibre and knitting supplies.

I bought one of these skeins.

Some fibre artists, one button lady and some quilting supplies.

I'm sorry I have no pictures of my purchases yet. I'll post those when I get back from my next vacation. Don't let anything exciting happen while I'm gone.
