We got to the Fair early enough to get the very first parking place. The sun came out in waves through the fogs, and we set out with camera’s in hand to record the fair as a happening.

We ate, we found a source for cool bottled water, and we saw every single venue we wanted to see. I brought extra batteries for G’s camera and forgot the one for mine. We shot horses, mules, sheep, photography, quilts, lots of flowers, table settings, and art. We ate. He bought a scissor sharpener, and a Highway 101 shirt. I got small, round, amber earrings…oh, big spenders us. We will share more delight with you later.

It will take a whole year to work off those calories.

Himself: They wouldn’t let him ride this year, so he walked almost 8 hours. His knee doesn’t hurt this morning. He’s at work covering the audit department single handedly this morning.

Herself: Only ate the one thing I shouldn’t have.

Ate: Lunch was Pinks: A chili dog for me and chili cheese fries for him. Chocolate covered deep fried oreos. Cream puff for me and cinnamon roll for him.
Chocolate dipped ice cream cone which got all over my clothes for both of us. Cottage cheese at home for dinner.

Gratitude’s: Foods but once a year.

The first parking space...what a coup! I think my unhealthiest eating day ever was at the Minnesota State Fair. I just had to try everything because it doesn't count when you are at the fair, right?

Yummy! There's nothing like fair food! I shouldn't be encouraging you in that - but there's nothing like fair food!!!

I long for the cream puffs that my mother made. The vanilla custard filling was out of this world. The pastry was oversized(of course) the filling abundant, and a very generous dusting of powdered sugar. She would make them only once a year so it was a treat. I tried to make them but they didn't measure up to hers.
