Good Bye to another ice cream season

Well the time has come to call it another year in the ice cream dipping business. I will be open today through Sunday and then Sunday will be a bit of a treat for those that stop in for a visit! Trick or Treat is very interesting at the ice cream shop that also carries penny candy. A lot of little trick or treaters stop in to see if they can pick what they would like from the bins ;-}. This year they can! I have been open into November in the past so couldn't give away all the candy, this year I figured would be a great way to clean out and thank everyone for their support!

I have been trying to exercise the dogs and myself lately. I am having trouble outrunning weight! I have 15 lbs free to give away if anyone is interested just inquire. I stopped in at the ice cream shop on Saturday to check in with the girls before I headed out for my walk and ran into an angel in disguise delivering a bag of goodies for me and picking up pumpkin ice cream for herself. There were fat quarters galore and a quilt for me to quilt for this angel. I had been having a rough week and it seems this angel seems to pop into my life when I need words of encouragement or acts of kindness! What happens at The Main Twist stays at The Main Twist so I am unable to identify the angel. ;-) People get really defensive about eating ice cream and others finding out. Me on the other hand.....I eat ice cream! Which is why I have 15 extra pounds!

Ten weeks and I finally have been able to remove the splint from my finger and after two weeks of dealing with an uncooperative club attached to my hand I am almost back to normal. Quilting look out!

My next post should be of all kinds of quilting that I am able to finish with my free time. Check back soon! Enjoy your Thursday.

Great Giveaway

A rainy cool week in Northern Pennsylvania....so been doing some blog surfing. I have found a new blog and they are having a giveaway! Make sure to stop over and check out Glenna's new blog and enter the five drawings being offered! http://www.hollyhockquiltsblog.blogspot.com

Quilting, quilting...I finished three quilts this last week and four the week before. I am trying to stay ahead so I am not feeling overwhelmed when the Christmas rush arrives! Still have a few openings for Christmas projects.

The ice cream world is slowing down. This week it has rained and ice cream is not a high priority in pouring rain. This weekends forecast is for 70's and it is homecoming at the university in our town so this should put a big dent in the ice cream inventory.

I need to get back to quilting! Enjoy your day! Thanks for taking time out of your day to visit with me.
