Crafty Day

So after choir today, I went to the craft shows. There was one in Creighton and Flin Flon. There used to be one show in Flin Flon but then it got too big and the local crafters were being overrun by the travelling crafters so they started their own show in Creighton. So I went to the Creighton show and saw Theresa and talked to her for awhile. I'm still waiting for Mark to finish their table so I can get one of her works. Then when I went to the show in Flin Flon, I met up with the Mutch's. They looked quite busy, but I got to talk a bit with Mr. Mutch for a bit. (I don't have a link for them but they sell magnetic bracelets and necklaces and they are really nice.) I did end up buying one thing at the show in Flin Flon. I'm thinking it might make a nice Christmas gift. The shows where both packed and it made walking around perusing the crafts a little difficult. I never did like crowds so it was a challenge. But it was nice because I was by myself so I could go at my pace and not worry if I was taking too long and not long enough. And I could go in any direction I wanted. So it was a nice afternoon. Choir let out early because of the craft shows. I think everyone left choir and went straight to a show. It was nice to see people I knew. Makes me feel more of the community. Mr. Mutch asked me if living in the North was agreeing with me and I really believe that it is. Look at me, I went to TWO crafts show when usually I'd avoid them and not make any mention in case my mother might even entertain the though of dragging me along. It's too bad I was like this before, we could have had a lot of fun times together.

I have to say though, I've always been close to my mom, but ever since I got married, I feel closer. It's nice to hang out with her and just go shopping. I wonder if every daughter feels like that, that she can hang out with her mother better after moving out. I was working in the store once when a lady came in and they were talking about not being able to tell their grown daughters anything because they would get upset and discount their advice right away. They asked me if my mom could talk to me and I said that I finally got to the age when I can listen to my mom. It didn't seem like the right answer they were looking for so I said something lame like I didn't have any kids so maybe I wouldn't be able to stand her advice once I had children of my own. But I don't really believe that since if I ever do have kids, I'm not going to know anything and would welcome any advice. My mom isn't overbearing with her advice. She suggests something but if you do something different, she's not going to flip. Oh well, I think that answer satisfied them for some kind of validation that daughters just don't listen to their mothers.

I know that my mom is reading this so it's been a little difficult to write. I don't how far I should go. Well, anyway, this is what you get. I hope everyone, not just Mom, likes it.
