A NORMAL DAY IN ILLINOIS (DAY 119)
Trying to get ahead of an early midwest snowstorm, I was in Bloomington, Illinois on Sunday. There was a threat of rain before the threat was to turn to snow. I set out for a hike at around noon and I hiked to NORMAL. (Normal, Illinois...that is)

MURRAY'S STEAKHOUSE
Saturday night dinner was at Murray's Steakhouse in downtown Minneapolis.
Even though this is a steakhouse, a recommendation for WALLEYE (fresh-water Great Lakes Fish) was made and went for it hook, line and sinker. (pun intended)
I did not take a photo of my dinner - so here is what a WALLEYE looks like (as you can see, it looks like a million other fish) As advertised, the boneless fish was very sweet and tasty. I was glad I made this selection.
SATURDAY MENU
breakfast scrambled eggs, three pieces bacon, oatmeal, fruit 734 calories
lunch three apples, assorted hors d'oeuvres 640 calories
dinner french onion soup, breaded fried walleye 465 calories
total calories 1839 calories
calories burned
6AM elliptical 35 minutes 430 calories
SATURDAY NET CALORIES 1409 CALORIES
So, it's been two days of International Quilt Market in Minneapolis already - so it is probably time to post an actual photo from the tradeshow. Here I am with my favorite designer from Michael Miller Fabrics, Hayley Crouse and Scarlett Wells, one of my 'most favorite' customers of Michael Miller (I do have a lot of favorite customers - This one may be my 'favorite-est'.) Hayley Crouse is the designer of the runaway best-selling popular line of fabrics called - COLOR ME. These fabrics are line drawings on the luxurious COTTON COUTURE fabrics which are designed to be colored in with fabric markers by young children. This product has captured the imagination of buyers and more importantly, retail fabric customers. Scarlett Wells is the proprietor of one of the most dynamic fabric websites on the internet - thefabriccobbler.com. Scarlett Wells, The Fabric Cobbler has been very successful promoting and distributing the COLOR ME fabrics to customers around the USA. She knew before anyone else - that this fabric was going to be a huge hit.
