    I stood on the steps in front of the fire hall to get this view of the audience.

    The young ladies on the front left are preparing to raise the next quilt for auction.

    These crafts were sold after the quilt auction.

    Now I’m back in my seat watching quilts sell.

    These whoopie pies were in the food tent where I got our coffee.

    After getting in the long food line, I decided to get lunch (chicken corn soup and subs) at the same time I got the coffee. I figured by lunchtime the line would be lots longer.

    While waiting in line, I made the mistake of mentioning to our granddaughter Gloria that she had blue lips – from candy – so she hid them from my camera.  You can see by the rain/snow in her hair that she has just come inside.

    Her friend Ashlea had gone outside and waited in the cold rain to buy fresh donuts for me.

    Finally, I was able to make my purchase and get back to the quilt auction.

    I like this pretty, knotted, comforter.

  • I love to see your post every year about the mud sale because I love to see the quilts! And the whoopie pies, which are called gobs in Johnstown, where Jim is from, but weren’t even in existence in the Philly area where I am from – where do you suppose the line is that changes them from not even part of the culture to changing the name? I am just thinking out loud here, not that I expect you to know the answer! I just always find it fascinating that in PA, and probably is true in every state, there are so many cultural differences from one part of the state to another. Virginia is certainly that way! We laugh about how you know you have gone from the south to the north when the restaurants don’t serve sweet tea, even if it is somewhere in the northern part of VA! And my southern sister-in-law, couldn’t figure out WHY she couldn’t get sweet tea in Colorado! In fact, when she ordered tea, expecting sweet iced tea, they served hot tea! There ya go – my cultural rambling for the day!

  • @piecedtreasures - I always wonder why the north can’t make sweet tea like the south!
