We went to the Kansas State fair last week. It was fun. The kiddos did pretty well. No purples but lots of blues and reds on the ribbons. A couple of whites ("Mom, do I really have to make those cookies now? Okay- well. Fine. See if I care how I do...")
For those who are unaware of how 4-H does ribbons, I will elucidate:
Purple: Mary Poppins- Practically Perfect in Every Way
Blue: Superman- superior in most aspects, but appears normal in other areas - good luck figuring out what is "normal" for Superman, but he has to have some weakness, maybe Lois Lane?...
Red: Clark Kent. Meets all standards for normal.
White: Superman on Kryptonite. Lots of room for improvement and does not meet standard. (see cookie example above).
We have been home from the fair an entire six days and, since the life I love is making music with my kids, I just can't wait to get on the road again...
In a couple of days, we are delivering a sweet milking doe to another state and taking the opportunity to visit the .... Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. Hot diggety dog! Pics coming soon because RandomGal and I decided that we need to share our adventures on the road! Crossroads on Vacation. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Blessings,
Moi
