Girls Day At The Fair

Yesterday was “Girls Day“. My cousin, Janet was already here, and we were joined by the “Divine” Megan. She arrived as we were finishing up picking Blueberries for Janet’s attempt at Blueberry cordial, and after we got done picking, we played with my friends new chocolate Lab puppy, Lucy, and took pictures of their beautiful horses,

we stopped at the house to drop off a few things, and then Hubby dropped us off up town for the Annual Arts Festival here in town.
There were so many Artisans, with their pottery, paintings, pictures, blown glass, etc. We checked out every single booth and talked to many of the Artisans. Janet got something new, but I will let her tell everyone about that, and I got a Christmas gift for AM which I can’t write about, lest I spoil the surprise!
We shared a piece of fried bread dough, we shared a hot dog, and we shared a diet coke, before stopping at Ben & Jerry’s, where we each got something yummy! And No, we didn’t share!
We walked back to my house, as it’s only about a mile, and chatted the entire way. The weather was perfect, sunny, in the 80’s and we were just having the best time.
Once we got in, and were greeted by the doggies, we each drank and drank and drank to rehydrate our slightly dehydrated bodies. Had some snacks and some corn chowder and started “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”.
About that time, Hubby came in and suggested we go for a walk with the dogs. Personally, I thought he was nuts. We’d just gotten in from walking all over the place, but Meg and Janet thought this was a great idea, so off we went to the park with the three dogs. The dogs, of course, were all for this.
Absolutely no one was there! So once we got away from the parking lot I was able to let the dogs loose to run through the woods. Half way through the walk is the lake, and the dogs all went in for swims.
When we arrived back, my bar-tending Hubby made drinks for everyone and I got out the vegetables and meat to put together Shish Kebabs. I’d never done them on my rotisserie and I had found this great marinade recipe online, so I got out the marinated meat and fed it all onto the spits and got it going.

Cooked some corn on the cob, and set the table on the screen porch.
So as the sunset over our lake, we sat down to eat. Mmmmmmmmmm! It was so good! I will definitely make this again.
After dinner we watched the end of Harry Potter, and had some fresh donuts with a little Heavenly Jam for a sweet dessert treat!
Once the girls left, I sat, exhausted in my chair with three, equally exhausted dogs around me. By 9:30 the dogs and I were longing for the comfort of our pillows and me and my three Amigo’s headed off to the comfort of blanket’s sheets and a soft bed!
