Good sunny clear 48ยบ morning.
PJ and I went to the fair yesterday and had a blast! We were glad to see 'protection' was available....
We watched the jumping dog show, but couldn't focus on the dog very well... too much background...
I bought this hand embroidered lion picture. Told Curtis we'd be
back later to pick it up. LOL, forgot. Have to go back today....
This is Curtis....
Saw my pal Felicity Clark and Micah DuBeau at the Republican booth.
Bought this 'all natural' cleaner polish from this very darling funny lady. She cleaned my rings and glasses and OH MY, shiny and clear and I can see!!!
We saw animals ... pigs, goats (sooooo cute!) cows, llamas....
Then we sat in the shade with a glass of wine
and checked out the 'fair people' ... Raggedy Ann was there, Bubba, fashion plates (two sets of bra straps???), painted faces, and the short guy...
We watched the Oregon Fiddlers and the "Afro-Bats" (!! Yes, that's correct....from Kenya)
We saw Kevin Lollis, local Channel 10 weather guy,
filming. Stopped and chatted. His camera man, nice guy, took our picture. I told him I watch him every night. He laughed, and said, "You sound like my mother!" "Well, Kevin, I could be. My kids are your age!" LOL
That was fun!
PJ tried on some belly dancing stuff...
We had a fun chat with the gal taking photos for the fair and I got in some more of my own....
Really a great day. We were good too, didn't even eat any corn dogs (boo hoo) or funnel cake or elephant ears..... Then headed home... observing a trooper doing some of the Lord's work...
Picked up Dave and stopped in at Patty and Cliffs for a toddy and a chat. Now, I'll go back to the fairgrounds and get my lion picture in a bit...

Interesting...... from Rick & Wendy Harp.....
I know this is supposed to be the smartest administration ever (HA!!!), but I'm sorry; if I were running a campaign with a fairly unpopular incumbent, the last thing I'd do is have a reelection slogan whose initials were WTF.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Thursday (already!) Ciao.
