Wow

How does time go so fast between posts? I have a bunch of pictures to show but my camera/connection to the computer isn't working very well lately. I guess you will just have to settle for my rambling.

I did get to go to the fair. It was so great, I miss that about New York because here I don't have friends that will just walk around for hours at the fair with me.

We got there around 2 and had lunch with RT's parentals. It was BBQ chicken, and delicious.

Next was the dairy barn. Here, there was the Butter Sculpture. This year it was sponsored by the NFL so it was almost entertaining for RT and his father...Almost. Luckily, we were in the DAIRY barn, and who doesn't like that ice cream?

After that, we stood and watched a guy perform with his little Jack Russell. It was a cute performance that ended in the dog jumping over 6 crouching children, through a hoop. That's talent people. It was fun.

Next, we were on to the animal exhibits. This is what I like, but the boys don't much appreciate it. Luckily, the horse judging that was going on was rather entertaining and they could speculate about who was going to win the class. It was almost as entertaining for me to listen to their commentary, especially when the class riding English came out, posting as their horses trotted around the ring.... "What is wrong with them?!" lol.

More fair food was next on the agenda. While we all had vinegar covered French fries- something I only enjoy on an occasional basis- RT got a cheeseburger- hehe. Then it was time to say goodbye to the parents. They were headed back up to Amish country so that they could go shopping on Saturday.

Dave and I took a walk around the sheep barn, and I pointed out that he would have to one day buy me a wheel. I'm not sure whether I should be proud to say that the two pictures I managed to take at the fair are both of sheep- hehe.

Last on the agenda was the Purina Incredible Dog Show. (Can we tell yet that I love animals?) All the dogs featured in the show are rescues/adopted animals. They have all been trained to do Frisbee tricks and acrobatics. It was thoroughly entertaining and makes me wish I had a dog to train.

Anyway, that is all for now. Today was supposed to be The Day, but it didn't pan out. Unfortunately, I am disappointed, but it'll all work out in the end. Also- since I didn't let the cat out of the bag, no one knows what I am missing, and I can spring it on people later! (sorry, I'm not sure that made any sense, but I'm tired- I'll try harder next time).
