Friday in Florida
First, let me say that today, March 6th, the weather is crazy warm and wonderful and I'm going to go for a run in a minute. Yes, it's too warm for this time of year, but it's also completely awesome. It also makes me want to rush outside and plunge into the myriad amounts of yard work that needs to be done. But I won't. It can wait. Back to Florida - here's our second day at the beach, when we went to Stump Pass State beach at the southern tip of Manasota Key, and I highly, highly recommend it. We had to wait in line to park because there's a very small lot, but it was worth it because the...

Chicago!
Randy and I took the train up to Chicago on Nov. 7th. Not to see a show, just to go to Chicago. But first - occasionally, Spot lies inside the top little room near the top of the fabulous kitty...
Thanksgiving right now, really?

State Fair History
When Randy and I went to the fair on Sun. Aug. 11th, after looking at the goats, he went to see if his brother Ricky ("Elvis Himselvis") needed any help before performing at the Miller tent. I took...
Goats, Goats, and Nothing but Goats
I don't know why I love goats so much. I haven't ever actually known a goat personally, and they say that goats can be mean. But there's just so cute. When Randy and I went to the fair on Aug. 11th...
One more plus a sunset
Somehow I missed this final photo of Mom and my day at the fair. As we were leaving the fair I decided to climb up up up the many steps of the Giant Slide. I love the Giant Slide. Except... It was...
Final thoughts on my first day at the Fair
After the excitement at the Hobbies, Arts & Crafts building Mom and I wandered around a bit. We stopped at the Dairy building, of course, to get a picture of the butter cow. A high-diving show...
Hobbies, Arts & Crafts building, Part Two
As Mom and I worked our way through the HA &C building on Friday August 9th, I didn't stop to catalog everything quite as thoroughly. I thought this prize-winning pillow was very cute with the...
