Rhonda, Martha Norwalk, and I went to the Evergreen State Fair and we had a very good time. This fair is in Monroe, Washington near where we live so we try to visit the fair every year.
Now as anyone knows who has been to a county fair, seeing the animals and 4H exhibits is certainly a big part of the fair. The next big part is the food! We started with an elephant ear. Rhonda snapped the photo while Martha and I dug in!
And then there is the great shopping. Both Rhonda and Martha like the shoes known as Crocs. At the fair they discovered there is an even better brand called Dawgs. Being canine lovers, all three of us had to get our Dawgs! I loved the colorful display at this booth.
Something we had never seen before was the sand horse that a fellow was sculpting outside one of the main halls. People’s creativity never ceases to amaze me!
I couldn’t bear to watch the Native Americans as they made their chainsaw art – another example of creativity that is simply amazing!
One of them wanted to pose with me.
On our way out we saw a child who was climbing up a rock wall. He was on a safety rope, of course. It reminded me that when we seem to be stretching ourselves into learning something new, we always have safety ropes as well, so why hold back or be scared?
After such a wonderful day as we were leaving the fair, imagine our delight when we saw some beautiful flowers right near the exit. Not only did we have a fun day but right at the end we were blessed with angel-flowers. These are the memories to take with us as we move through our days. There is nothing like good friends, good food, and beauty – now that is what life is all about!
Until next time, I send you love and blessings,
