Getting ready for the fair

Last week was a busy week, but we also managed to get in a few fun things too. Tracy and Emily wanted us to go to the Lawrenceburg fair on Friday evening. We got to the fair around 7:00 o'clock and it was already so crowded you could hardly walk. Since none of us are big fans of the rides, we walked around for awhile, got something too eat ( Why does fair food always taste and smell so good?) and then went to look at the exhibits. There was a little bit of everything on display. We registered for all the give-a-ways, so we will probably be getting phone calls from every vendor that was at the fair.

Emily loves looking at the animals and was a little disappointed when there were only cows and rabbits on display. Usually she gets to pet goats, chickens and all kinds of little critters. Of course we had to play a few games to try to win a stuffed animal. We didn't walk away empty handed. She came out with a stuffed dog and a stuffed tiger.

It's always fun going to the fair. It brings back memories of when I was a kid and they actually let us out of school and loaded up the school buses and took us all to the fair. I would usually carry $10:00 and come home with $7:50. I loved to go, but I was afraid of most of the rides. You sure don't get out with $10:00 a person now. I can't even begin to estimate how much money is spent in one evening let along for the whole week.

The most enjoyable part of the evening was stopping at the Dairy Queen and getting a strawberry sundae.

On Saturday we carried some things over to the antique booth and later stopped a Stephano's and got a pizza. John and I are still laughing about the pizza adventure. John let me out at the Salvation Army thrift store and he went on down and ordered a pizza. After looking around for a while, I walked on down to the pizza place about the same time our pizza was ready. Well we started eating and as always it was delicious. We took another slice and ate it. I'm looking a the pizza and how much is left, but heck we usually eat the whole thing, so we each took another slice. Well it was all we could do to eat the third piece. I told John to get a to go box and we put what was left in it to carry home. I said, "John, I don't know why, but I just don't seem to have much appetite today. We usually don't have trouble finishing off a small pizza." He looked a little funny and then said "I do usually get a small one, don't I, but I ordered a medium today." Well so much for our loss of appetite. John did tell the lady behind the counter to remind him the next time we come in to only sell us a small unless we have someone with us.

We got in the car and left and got almost to Muscle Shoals when I realized I have left my purse at the restaurant, so we had to turn around and go back. Luckily the lady had found my purse and put it behind the counter. I'm sure she was wondering if we would make it home by ourselves. It gets a little freaky when you have more than one senior moment in one day.

We might as well laugh at ourselves, because everyone else does.
