The crowd I mentioned is a different direction. :) The Gentlemen of the Road Tour is in Walla Walla this weekend. Close to twenty thousand revelers have descended, complete with camping gear and alternative views on recreational drugs. Eek. Think Woodstock, but with less mud and hopefully more clothing.<br /> We needed to attend a baptism party on the East side of WW, so that meant driving through town (or thirty minutes around it). I kept checking the fb feeds and it seemed as if it wasn't really an issue, sine most people came in to the airport (there are people here from Europe to see this bands, can you imagine?), took buses and taxis and are staying put within walking distance.<br /> And it wasn't too bad! A little bit of traffic near the center but that was probably because of the detours.<br /> It's hard to explain how shocking it is, but Jan posted something like it when the biker enthusiasts came to her town. WW has 35K people. It doubled in size this weekend. :) We're not used to having to share the sidewalk with more than one or two other people, haha.<br /> Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-80616688898806307862015-08-15T20:56:50.591-04:002015-08-15T20:56:50.591-04:00I love your birthday posts.

Maybe it has to do with those lovely green bacteria pictures. LOL<br /><br />THIS - Muddy Frogwater Country Days - I want to hear more about. I saw your FB post about making it through the crowds and wondered what it was all about.<br /><br />Mary Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173540875518117671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-87073899827478309132015-08-15T20:02:20.061-04:002015-08-15T20:02:20.061-04:00I think it would work if you set it in water.

Just no fine china or new dishes that aren't oven safe. <br /> And who ever has an abundance of lemons?? I'm so jealous!<br /> She does have two separate sites where she posts a running web comic but aside from registering to view the comic, it's a free service. <br /> And a daily comic that continually cracks me up. It's called "Ask Benji", and Benji is a wise old hamster asking questions posed by the Nonny Mouses. They ask all sorts of bone-headed questions because they seek to one day become a wise old hamster, too. <br /> I feel quite a kinship with the Nonny Mouses.Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-6958765623381701652015-08-15T19:59:20.901-04:002015-08-15T19:59:20.901-04:00Last year, my dad gave us each an album of old pic...Last year, my dad gave us each an album of old pictures that he'd sorted. It's fun to flip through it from beginning to... when everything started to go digital!<br /> Something we're losing is the idea of a physical album. :( Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-4295274788053344162015-08-15T07:19:08.105-04:002015-08-15T07:19:08.105-04:00Fantastic post on two accounts.

Do you think I could use muffin tins?<br /><br />And the pictures are amazing. Your daughter's artwork -- incredible! She's talented. Should be illustrating children's books or graphic novels right now!!!!!!!!!!!!

When we sorted pics to get rid of boxes of pics, I made Mandy and Beth come help because to me, each picture has a STORY.... and I was taking forever. For them? It was more "Luke's box... Sarah's box.... Zach's box... " Etc. And it worked! That was like TEN BOXES gone from the attic. I love these pics, Virginia! #happyRuth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.com
