's headboard ...
Well, our beautiful cherry sleigh bed has been sold! Along with it, the night stands and lamps. Goodbye fair bedroom set. We will miss you. Unfortunately, you do not fit in our new bedroom so we will be using the guest bed with the famous headboard. (Its famous because its the headboard used on the set of Everybody Loves Raymond.) Funny and a little sad. Google it. You'll see!
So on Saturday, I got a taste of the Machiavellian machinations of our fair little Mayberry. That took some of the wind out of my sails. Fool me once, shame on me - try and fool me a second time and watch out!
Saturday afternoon we spent lots of time in the pool - with 2 sets of neighbors. Then we met David over at the house for lots of good ideas - now just our heads are swimming!
Sunday, we packed the kids up and took then to the county fair. Almost, kinda like the Belleville Fair of my youth. Oh, the Belleville fair was so exciting! Thrilling rides, greasy food and boys ... not just any boys ... city boys! We didn't talk to any of them -but it was thrilling just the same. Well the county fair here was kinda the same - they had the Zipper and the Tilt-a-whirl (good memories). And the livestock and the pie contest! The girls had a great time even after the great tiger meltdown. (Jacqui lost the squirter game (to an adult no less) and therefore lost her chance at the big prize.) I did see some kids walking by with the really big prizes and it reminded me of when uncle Pete helped me win that enormous frog. There is a special kind of pride walking through the fair with a stuffed animal that's bigger than your Gym teacher. I got to live that and, someday (not today), I will make sure my kids experience that too. Good times!
