It's been awhile

I realize that it's been almost two weeks since I've posted anything. Not much has been happening, but this week, it's FAIR WEEK. I must explain. Today, the 15th of August, Quilter and I have been married 37 years. We have lived in this town all that time. We sort of met at the crossroads, as I grew up about 15 miles west of here, and when we met, she lived about 15 miles north. We met in December, got engaged in March, and married in August. Out of this union we have two daughters as I have previously reported. Now what does this fact have to do with Fair Week? Sue and I are fair nuts. Not just any fair will do.............but the local fair and every so often the Minnesota State Fair. But, every year we go to our local fair. It's the biggest free fair in the state, and some say the biggest county fair in the state. Every year we go. When I started working nights, I started taking this week off. Now it's an expected ritual from the guys at work. It's August, John is taking the week off................must be the fair. To give you an idea of how we like the fair, Quilter and I came home early from our honeymoon so we could attend at least the last couple of days at the fair. Now most years, our wedding anniversary falls during the fair. That's how we celebrate..............we go to the fair. When Priscilla and Beezie were younger, we got a baby sitter and that night we went to the fair by ourselves. If you want to see us at night during fair week, go to the fair. Chances are you will see us there. The fair is where you see people you don't usually see during the year. Family and High School reunions abound during this time. People come back to this town for the fair. It's a big party. If anybody comes and visits us during the week, they will go to the fair. So, see ya at the fair.
