County Fair

 I haven't been to a county fair since

Beach Sportcycles had a booth 

before Tim and Angie got married!

(And now our kids are in their 30's!!!!!)

Holy Moly!

But this week is our Trego County Fair.

And it's like 3 blocks from our house.

So last night we went to the stockcar races.

As always, it was REALLY fun.

And REALLY dusty.

But the wind was coming from the west for a change

and blowing all the dust AWAY from us!!!

(There were lots of people there, they were just

higher in the stands than we were... we were late.)

(I had a Presidency meeting that ran 2 hours.... sigh.)

It was so fun!!!

This year's theme is Hay Bales and Sleigh Bells.

It's WaKeeney's 75th anniversary of doing the Tree Lighting.

So Santa came to give gifts to the kids.

He has been at several events around town (NOEL day)

in his "summer" suit. LOL. 

(Gotta love a small town!)

I had to teach this morning, but Rod and I are going to

take a break and run over to the fair and walk through

the exhibitor barns. I mean, why not?

Last year Kyle was in Florida and I was trying to

run the farm and teach all by myself, so I didn't go.

But this year?

We're heading over there!

(AND!!!!! Last night there was a thunderstorm

and the heat wave we've been struggling under 

was finally broken. High is low 90's today and back

into the 80's by mid next week! Whew!)

Anyhow.

I'm taking a teaching break.

And Rod is taking a painting break.

Isn't it beautiful?????

(We color matched a bath towel... lol.)

(Last house we color matched the toilet paper

holder thingie from Kyle's bathroom...)

Hmmmmmmm.

I love it!

AND it's FREE!!!!!!!

It's a program called "Paint the Town".

You go to the local hardware store and buy

your paint and all your supplies, up to $600.00.

They run a tab, and when we are all done,

the town comes and takes pictures and pays your bill.

AWESOME!!!!!

This house hasn't been painted in FOREVER.

I'm so pleased with the color!

So....

that's what's new here on the Kansas front.

There's more..... but you'll have to wait.

Gotta run.

Have a great weekend!
