Symphony on the "Chilly" Prairie


Saturday evening we went to Symphony on the Prairie. We make it a habit to go to the last weekend every year. They have had the River City Brass Band perform for the last weekend 17 years, I think they mentioned. Carl and I have been to the last 3, and I think I went to 2 before that. This was the first year that it was chilly. I had a light jacket on, and we had to cover up with our blanket. We also got some hot chocolate to warm us up. I felt like I was at a fall bonfire or hayride. There were some people that were bundled up like it was the dead of winter out there. It was pretty funny.

Despite the chilly weather, we enjoyed ourselves. The conductor was new this year and was pretty funny, cracking jokes during the performance. Plus, he had a cool accent!

Here are some pics from the evening:

Candle Giveaway!

Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.
