What's up?- What started as a simple plan to meet Heidi at the State Fair turned into two days of fun! 
I started out for the cities on Sunday night (Steve left for work out of town on Sunday too) because why not take the opportunity to visit my favorite daughter-in-law. I spent the night at Nolan and Jenny's house. They're in the middle of a kitchen facelift that looks fabulous so far! I had a hair appointment on Monday at noon, so spent the morning shopping...I really miss that now that I'm in the boonies...picked up a couple of new novels and a Yogafit book that my friend, and yoga instructor Nola, recommended. I've started reading it and am looking forward to getting hooked on yoga! Then on to my hair, which also turned into a pedicure, appointment. I really can't say enough about how awesome it was. My hair looks great and they made me feel totally pampered and special. I have another appointment set up for right before I leave for New York(more on that later) to get a another pedicure and dare I say it ...A MANICURE!! If there was a prize for the most devoted nailbiter alive, I would win it for sure. Well, I promised the manicure lady, Jane, that I wouldn't bite my nails or rip at my cuticles until my appointment scheduled 17 days from today. I'm not sure I can do it but sometimes it's easier to keep a promise to someone else than to yourself . Wierd huh, that I would feel worse about disappointing someone I just met than I would about disappointing myself. There's something screwd up about that and it's definitely something I'm going to work on. 
I picked up some cuticle oil and have dug out my previously unused Mary Kay Satin Hands from the back of my cupboard to help guarantee my success! Anyway, Monday afternoon I met Heidi and Tanner at our hotel in Roseville.
Sadie and the girls joined us for a fun time at the pool. After a short night's sleep, we ended up getting to the fair Tuesday morning at about 6:45. It's awesome getting there early when things are just getting rolling. There were a few sprinkle at first but the sun came out soon enough. Tanner did his best to spread a little touch of kid cuteness wherever we went. 
I forgot how facinated people are with babies. Many people would talked to him to try to coax out that beautiful smile. We ate and drank our way around the fairgrounds (most interesting-Chicken Fried Bacon...most delicious- pork chop on-a-stick --yummy). I got a free book and spent some quality time in the Harlequin Romance booth - double yummy! 
and we ditched out about 1:00 PM when it started getting very hot and very crowded. On the way home, I had an eye appointment where I picked out some too, too cute glasses that I should have in my moisturized, not bitten and picked at, hands by next week sometime.

Laughter- I love seeing my grandkids and spending time with them. It always makes me happy and fills my heart with laughter!
Kindness - I always knew I had married a kind man but he still surprises me sometimes. Last weekend we were putting the pontoon in at the boat landing where we met a man who had lost his car keys. No big deal right, except he had lost them at the end of the dock while he was putting in his boat. He and his wife were up to their chests in the water, digging their feet into the mucky bottom while their two little kids looked on from the boat. When we got back to the cabin, Steve asked our neighbor, who in turn called a friend on the lake, who did indeed have a magnet that would help. Steve went and picked it and brought it to the stranded family and floated around on the pantoon while the guy continued searching. After about 15 minutes, the man raised both hands above his head to signal success! He retrieved his keys and Super Steve saved the day. Awe! Steve didn't have to take the time but he did. I'm proud of him.
