FUN AT THE FAIR WITH FRIENDS!

What a fun time we had going to the Alaska State fair last weekend with my 2 friends Karleen & Patti. We like to go and walk around and look at all the beautiful flowers and other exhibits...and of course, there's nothing quit like the corn on the cob, or smoked turkey leg, or cream puff with chocolate AND berries on it.... YUMMMM!!! We have to walk a lot to work off all the food we eat, mainly met. :o)






It was not a great year for the flowers this year, and yet, even though we had LOTS of cloudy days and rain, there were still Big and Beautiful floweres there. It was fun to see.
Another favoriate thing for us to see is all the quilts made by different groups and even some young people. That is incouraging to me. My friend, Karleen, is into quilting, but not me. I don't have the patients for it, right now. But...they are still fun to see.

What kind of flower is that, Aunt JoAnn?

Lin-The flower is a kind of mum. They were huge and beautiful. I didn't think they would do very good this year, since we did not have much sun. But...they did great.
