Wow, that's some schedule. Thank God for fair food, right? Best deep fried everything in the entire world. Plus the sulky races are really cool : )

I watched them, and they are great!!! Woot, woot!

My woot woot today is Noah and I were making fruit pies--just the filling today, tomorrow we will bake them so they are fresh for judging on Wednesday morning. He's making blueberry, strawberry, and peach pie. YUMMY!! The fruit filling smelled so good when he was baking them!

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments Loving the sound of those pies! Only thing I love more than a fruit pie is a fruit crumble! I'd rather a fruit crumble or pie to chocolate cake! No, really... I actually don't eat chocolate cake.

I'm sure I'll get to sample some after Noah bakes it tomorrow--I'll let you know if its good or not :) And then you can be jealous of me eating PIE! I love pie, and I haven't had fresh fruit pie since Thanksgiving I think!

Another woot, woot is one of the resident's family has fresh peaches on their farm, and they brought a huge crate for the staff to enjoy. I brought home an extra dozen peaches, and we have some leftover blueberries and strawberries, so I made a scrumptious fruit salad for dinner tonight! I just LOVE fresh peaches!

OMG! I want to go to a fair! They sound amazing! Never been to one before (maybe our faux boarding school one - but that doesn't count)...

Congrats on the blue ribbons :)

I love fair week, its busy and hectic, but so much fun! Although this year, it looks like they aren't going to have any carnival rides! The company they had hired backed out last minute, and they hadn't found anyone when I left today! Today is usually set up day for the rides!

Thanks, Ruby and Victoria!
