Designers gone wild!!!!!!!!!

What do two designing sisters do on their day off?????

Go on the rollercoaster, of course!

I stopped off to spend some time with my sister Theresa LaQuey (of Steampunk pattern fame) after attending the American Sewing Guild conference last week and we went to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and rode the Giant Dipper ... FUN!

The photos they sell are taken at the bottom of the first BIG drop. I was holding on for dear life. Theresa was hanging on to her purse!

The Giant Dipper is one of those old all wooden rollercoasters that rattle. On February 27, 1987, the United States National Park Service recognized the Giant Dipper as a National Historic Landmark.

We also went on the Merry-Go-Round that has an actual brass ring you can throw at a huge clown face. Alas, neither one of us made it into the clown's mouth, which sets off all kinds of fun noises. Theresa got two rings right on the edge of the mouth, but they bounced out ... sigh ... we can design, but not throw so well.

Is it exuberance or terror??? That rollercoaster is really important to me and all three of my sisters, as it was to our mother. Thanks for the comment.

Hoping I get to meet my delightful sister-in-law Theresa's sisters. I hear you're a lot of fun. Sorry we couldn't make it work last month. I enjoyed every minute.
