Wait a minute. I cannot type further until I wash these hands again. I have just gotten back from the Minnesota State Fair, and I just can't seem to get my hands to feel not sticky. I want to put up my own booth where I sell those hand washing sheets for people. You touch things and eat food at the fair that leaves you sticky. Okay, so all cinnamon rolls have that effect. Those Tom Thumb mini donuts add insult to injury. Following that with apples that you dip in Carmel and you can see why I have sticky fingers.
The fair was fun. We go every 4 years or so. There are changes but then there are the main stays of the fair. My husband had to stand by the dairy building and drink glass after glass of milk. For a buck he could have all he could drink. I said they should put Sweet Martha's cookies next to the milk stand and the match would be perfect. One has to go to the DNR building and see the fish in their pond. Charles dreams of catching one of the big guys they have floating in the pond. We venture over to the horticulture building and I take in all the beautiful flowers that are grown. The vegetables are to die for. My tomatoes are green on the vine and they have some red beauties. We stare in the sky and wonder how those people can ride that swing that takes them up so high and then swings them around. Hope they did that ride on an empty stomach. I have to see the mighty horses and stroke their noses. I feel the coat of the sheep and thank them for my wool sweaters. I see a mother pig with 14 piglets nursing and I am happy I am not a mother pig. One kid at a time was enough for me. I see a wedding party taking pictures and say go for them. they got to have their wedding the way they wanted it, at the fair.
We are so fortunate to live in a big city but have the wonders of the farm for us to see once a year. As a stroll the fair I attempt to pick out the city slickers from the farm folks. At the fair we are all the same. We eat, we laugh, we get tired and have a great time.
Thank you Beth! Our goal is to complete an entire novel, I guess you could say the tidbits we are posting are excerpts. I am mostly interested in people's opinions,critiques about our posts right now, kind of testing the waters with our ideas and learning.
