Oh, I'm so excited I could squeal!!! It's almost fair time and I can't wait! Nothing precedes Fall like fair time! Hot, hazy, dusty and humid days of wandering around the fairgrounds with your family in tow, avoiding the hawkers and carnies, while stuffing yourselves with fried dough, fair fries and cotton candy. Ahhhhh.... We've already missed the Cumberland Craft Fair which always seems to fall on the worst weekend for us. I haven't been in years and even had it on my calender this time...no go. So now, we can't miss anymore! Acton Fair is the first one and it's the end of this week. After that, we'll hit the Rochester, Cumberland and Fryeburg Fairs. I just love to walk around and sample the food. Hubby likes looking at all the vendors goods and my Dad just loves the whole atmosphere. And, if there's an active track with races, all the better! I always feel like a little kid at the fair. Seeing it through my sons eyes is the best. He loves the animal barns and can't get enough of cows and bunnies. Plenty of photo ops will abound I hope!
My sister is getting ready to move out on Wednesday. She's not going back to Atlanta rather to Wichita to move in with our brother. Then they are looking to move south to the great state of Texas very soon! I'm sad she's moving out...we didn't get a chance to do our sister night this time and I'm not sure when she'll be coming back. Now that she's out of college she won't be doing college breaks so I don't know when we'll see her again. Hopefully she'll come home for Christmas! In any case, things will be a lot quieter around here. Sadder, too, I suspect. She and our Dad have a tight relationship and he'll lose his dinner buddy when she leaves. He's also not so keen on her idea of moving out west. I think he's just disappointed she's not going to be staying in Atlanta pursuing a higher degree. I just want her to be happy and if that means her moving halfway across the country then so be it.
Still haven't hooked up the camera to upload all our recent pics so nothing new from the summer to show off. I'll need to empty the memory card before fair time so sometime this week should do it!
Till then...stay safe and happy knitting!
