I know, I know. I just worked a sticker stop a couple of weeks ago. A hot, sunny afternoon parked in front of the trifecta of goodness: Hobby Lobby, Cato, and a Christian bookstore. But yesterday, the WBCL van set out with a destination of MARION!
Hey wait! I live there! :)
So I joined up with Amy and Annie and we parked in front of another store of goodness: JuJuBerry!
Can you believe I stood outside a Hobby Lobby for a whole afternoon and never went in to shop AND stood outside a frozen yogurt shop for a whole afternoon and never went in to eat? I must be ill.
No, seriously.
Worked with my good buddies Amy and Annie!
And because I was on my home turf - I had the chance to see a lot of friends throughout the day!! Faith stopped by with her kiddos. {We are often accused of being sisters, but in fact, are not! Just good friends!}
And a bit later, Kerri and Kathy stopped by. Kerri is, hands down, one of the funniest Facebookers I know. Between the funny conversations she has with her husband and her hilarious kiddo - my WORD she cracks me up!! And I'm not gonna lie - really wanted to steal her dress!
Since it was so close to home, my parents stopped by, too! {Did you notice how this time I got smart and rolled up my shirt sleeves so I didn't repeat the unfortunate tan line!}
Dad sported the new hat Ryan and I gave him for Christmas. I had to explain to him that was really more of a winter hat. He remained unconvinced.
There were many more that passed through...and we loved meeting all of them! What a fun afternoon - and a surprisingly quick commute home for once!

I love how your dad always has that same look on his face! :)
You changed the side panels on your blog!!!!
It sounds like a fun afternoon! And I was wondering about your blog background change but thought maybe I was confused with another blog. However Katie's comment has confirmed it for me. I like the new look!
Anonymous - It's true! LOL! He was born with something (really long name that I can't pronounce and certainly cannot spell) that means he can't move the muscles in his face to smile or make any expression, really. Now, having said that, he has his own version of a smile that when he's thinking about it (AKA when I'm taking the picture and saying "YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT!!") he gets a pretty good "smile" going. Unfortunately I forget to remind him of that when I'm IN the picture with him, so sometimes those aren't as good. When he taught school, he always explained it to his students on the first day of class - probably much more eloquently than I've done here! He's such a good sport. :)
Katie - KATIE!!! So good to hear from you!! How have you been? How is my dear Lois? I did change the background - try to do that with about every season. A.D.D. for blog backgrounds, perhaps!!
Natasha - Well it looks like you and Katie get the invisible prizes for noticing!! :) CONGRATULATIONS!!!
