A Mess and Fia

My sister, Bess, and niece, Sophia, came for a visit last week- so fun.
Liliana can't pronounce their names, so she instead of Aunt Bess, it sounds like "A Mess" and Sophia is "Fia".

Fia is 9 and Liliana adores her. It was so fun showing Madison to a kid. We visited the Mustard Museum and sampled several different types of mustard. Who knew organic mustard w/ dill would taste so delicious?

But Fia's favorite place was a local cheese shop. She loved sampling the cheeses and bought some chocolate cheese. She ate all of hers up within 24 hours, so wanted to go back to buy 3 more containers plus one for her teacher.

"A Mess" loves flowers, so we also went to the botanical gardens, which was so pretty.
They had a quilt show going on as well. I am not usually a big quilt fan, but these quilts were AMAZING. The colors were vibrant and the designs so unique. Of course being in Wisconsin one of the quilts was of these black and white cows with red trim. These folks are proud of their dairy up here, let me tell you!

We had so much fun with A Mess and Fia. We already have plans for the next time they come to visit!
