Saturday in Shipshe





Today was our last day in Shipshe. Rise and shine to monkey business, which seems to always happen on Saturday night. Poor Timothy underwent emergency surgery, with many assistants present.

Anyone who has been to Shipshewana before knows that this is their last opportunity to purchase things, as all businesses in town are closed on Sundays. Pat made our list, so we would make sure to hit all the shops prior to our departure Sunday morning.

First stop was the local bulk food store. Another stop at Rise 'n Roll for our final food purchases. Back to town and Yoders, Lolly's, and Rebecca's. We will be able to fit everything in the van. No furniture purchases this year.

One more pretzel at Jojo's. A strawberry shake at Wana Cup, then back to The Farmstead for a bit of sewing. Dinner tonight at Tiffany's in Topeka, followed by our daily jump in the hot tub. As what seems to happen every year, packing has commensed, machines have stopped humming, and quilting has been packed away. Wish we could stay another week, but life calls us home. Good night until we return to Minnesota. It has been a blast!
