Hello Thread-Killers and Lurkers...one and all!
well, well ,well....
I started to catch up...and see words like "ole"..."old"....incorrigible" <~~ that's 4 this month...and I know I must be being missed....
Hey! It's fair season! There are sausages...BBQ Chicken...fries...candy appples...all with my name on them...
PLUS! It's a time to renew old friendships...Nick from Bradenton FL...a sausage vendor....a HUGE Italian fellow (he lost about 100 pounds since last year..)...who is as nice as he is large...
he makes THE BEST sausages of anybody...he cooks and spces with a happiness that is hard to describe...AND...he sings the oldies as he does...
I had the pleasure of being with all 5 Grandkids at the same time so Nick could see them all...and meet the ones he hadn't....all at the same time......
he and his wife and their family all work during this fair (and the next...in Stoneboro)...so...it is only a 2 week visit...it's cool...
The kids and PA and I have had a ball...Sammy LOVES the critters...
she is fascninated with the cow milking...and the cows...and the horses...lol...even the sheeps, pigs and goats...
heaven forbid I try to go by the bunny building or the poultry barn with her in tow...it ain't gonna happen...
"PAPA! BUNNIES!"....every time...every single time...
at any given time...fair season r not...I can say to Sammy...'what's a cow say?"
"MOO" she says....
"what's a kitty say?"
"meow" she says...
"what's the sheeps say?"
"baaa" says she....
OK! Got it?
so....we go into the sheep barn...me...PA...WS...Kara...Corey...& Sammy...
I say.."Sammy...whats the sheeps say?"
she says..."Baaa"...
I says..."no Honey..they say...Saa-a-aa---aa-mmmmy"
she says "Papa...sheep don't say Sammy"...
"oh No?"
and here I am thinking she going to say they say..."Paaaaa-
aaa-aaa-Paa-aaaa"
I contine.."what do they say then?"
she goes....
ready?
"Maaa-aaaa-aaa-Maa-aaaa!"
welll...I lost it....
PA tries ...unsuccessfully...to keep a straight face...
WS has her eyes bugged out in surprise...then she starts howling...
Kara & Corey are already doubled over....
i think people thought we are nuts...but...Oh Boy..what great times...what a memory...all fom a 2 year old...
Brad Paisley played Sunday night...we were geeking around the fair....but...we heard him...and heard him real good...
I should have got a ticket...he is a class act...great voice...super performer....
I saw a ton of people out n the fairgrounds singing along...one great thing about Crawford Couty...you can hear the acts everywhere...it's an awesome fair...
well...going back to catch up...I'll be bopping around here...and there...
nice to know I was missed....and truth to tell..I missed you galoots too...
PSSST! Hey Lurkers...isn't tonight "Strawerry ice cream" night on the Lurker_Sweeper?
and...as EVERYBODY knows...that's the aliens favorite earthfood...SO..if you're headed to Area 51 with a few gallons of strawberry ice cream....stop by and get me...
we'll take a side trip to the fair....see Nick...I'll treat you all to a sausage...
WAIT!!
...(1..2....3...4..5....6...WHOA!)
I'll treat you all to a 1/2 sausage sandwhich....
