Shenadaoh Valley Produce Auction and Quilt Class

Mother and I went to the Shenandoah Valley Produce Auction.

  

Young guys enjoyed their jobs of unloading crates and taking the produce to the bidders' trucks.

Grilling and visiting.


                  Because it was customer appreciation day, lunch was on a donation basis.
 I love soft serve ice-cream.
I treated myself to a cone!

                Mother and Ann Rohrer have been good friends                        since they were teenagers.

Here is Glenn and Ann with Father and Mother when they were young.  I just love this picture.  Their family and our family were frequently back and forth when I was growing up.

 Pies of many kinds to pick from.

 The old order Mennonites are many of the produce growers.

 The young and old alike come on bikes.

Tractors with produce ready to go through the drive through auction.

 Tractor loads of pumpkins were auctioned off.

 Mother and I had such a fun morning eating and visiting with many friends and relatives.

What a blessed time I had with my friend Candy.  This weekend I went to Salem, VA to teach a class.

Candy thanks for a wonderful time.  Your children are so well mannered and so sweet.

Leigh Ann was in my quilt class "Spinning Pinwheels" last year.  She brought the finished quilt to show me.  Such a creative way to display the "flowers" in the vase.
