Den and I went to the Kansas State Fair last Saturday and again yesterday. We worked in the Pride of Kansas Building last Saturday at the Greensburg Booth. Alot of people stopped by and asked about the progress Greensburg is making with it's rebuilding effort.I took a picture of The Swings when we walked around Saturday evening. My niece (Darline) rode on these when she was little and a fair guy (who wasn't suppose to be on the ride) rode behind her and kept grabbing the chain making her swing go wild and she was scared to death! My brother and I were on the ground watching this. When they stopped the ride, my brother showed alot of restraint and got in the guy's face and got him kicked out of the fair by his boss. (I was afraid my brother was going to rearrange his face, but he never laid a hand on him!) Oh, the joys of The Fair!
Yesterday Dennis and I rode on the giant Ferris Wheel. Dennis was scared-- his hands were sweaty! But I thought it was fun!
When we looked at the quilts, this one was there and I just loved it.. it has several little girls on the front of it and it's like paper dolls-- you can change their dresses-- the envelope that holds their dresses is sewn on the back of the quilt. It's so cute and such a neat idea. (Are the little girls McCall's girls?) I hope it was Ok to take a picture and put it in my Blog!!
We love going to The Fair! Just walking around looking at everything and everyone! We like to eat Pronto Pups and Pizza and ice cream and caramel apples-- although this year I just couldn't bring myself to buy a carameled apple-- I told Dennis I'd go buy a bag of caramels and apples and make my own! We did buy some Taffy for Mom (and me) and I bought a piece of fudge. Plus I found a Gaspinite ring that matches my watch band and earrings. Oh yeah, we also got Joe's girlfriend's daughters some toys-- butterflies on the end of a stick that light up and flash and make noise! And, we played a game and won them a couple of little rubber duckies. We looked at camper trailers and dreamed of getting one to pull behind our Trailblazer-- (small ones). See you all later!
