Getting to New York…
Mom and I left for New York on Thursday, June 18th. Our plane didn't leave til the three in the afternoon so it was a leisurely drive to the St. Louis airport Or it would have been a leisurely drive, except as we neared St. Louis it started to pour down rain. The only thing I hate more than driving in the pouring rain on the highway is driving in the rain at night on the highway.

Final State Fair photos
We went back to the fair on August 18th, and once again I spent a little time watching the horses. After that we got to see the high divers and it was nice to see them late in the day because I'd...
State Fair Part Two
Mom, Amy, Randy and I went to the IL state fair on Tues. August 15th. Our first stop was the Hobbies, Arts & Crafts building which I always thought was my favorite til this year when I realized...
P.S. other things
First, will there be a "state fair part two" or will I get sidetracked and suddenly it's Christmas? Also, my website is in the midst of being redesigned and I'm quite excited about that and I hope...
