Faired Well at the State Fair
Sunday…I took a trip to The Great State Fair of Texas!
What a glorious day it was – breezy, upper 80°, and when you’re one of the first to arrive, parking was easy, convenient, and close to the entrance gate!
Each year the State Fair is an intentional destination. I wouldn’t be completely honest if I said my primary reasoning going is for the Auto Show.
I go for the people watching!
I go for the live entertainment on stage (several venues around the fairgrounds)!
I go for free ice cream cone and the give-away bread sampling at the Dairy/Grain Building!
I go to marvel at the wonderful Art Deco buildings scattered about the fairgrounds!
But mostly, I go for the traditional food of the State Fair as well as each year’s must-have foods!
Well OK then….

Weekly Photo Challenge: Comfort
There are many comforts….
I remember that
Boy howdy does this remind me of a time when the kids were little. Deb was always baking made-from-scratch cookies – we always had cookies in the jar and on the counter!

Groomed and Relaxed Pups
It’s always a trying day when the Royals go to the groomer. As much as they like Suzanna the Groomer, they still tire by the end of the day. After all, the spa can be as exhausting as it is refreshing….

A weekend full of it
Ya big blow hard
I know, I know. The photo is lame and has no merit to win a ribbon at the county fair. But still….
Thursday night, a front moved into north Texas and brought some rain (!!!). With it came the leading edge of a line of thunderstorms. In that leading edge we had +60 mph winds for a few minutes….
A lightning spread
Admittedly, this type of photography has a long way to go to get better, but I keep trying every chance I get. The problem is, it doesn’t rain that often in Texas anymore…when is a guy supposed to practice the craft in that case?
Good Morning Kansas!
I can only think of a handful of things that can top a Kansas sunrise (or sunset).
35 and counting
What a grand weekend! And boy howdy did I take a bunch of pictures!
The milestone 35th reunion happened at Hays High School. Despite a losing effort for the current Indians on the football field (losing to Garden City), those of us alumni able to attend the homecoming and reunion had a fabulous time…not just one evening, but two!
Our class of 190-something produced about 45 of us over the weekend. We all showed up to enjoy ourselves, the time spent with good friends, and to poke fun at the aging habits a handful of us seem to be developing. Better yet, little grief was taken on the thinning noggin, chubby cheeks, and the mid-section bounce that seems to have graced my curb appeal. I guess it is what it is, huh?
