I am so lucky to have my cousin Janet. She is able to think of amazing things to do, and to pull me out of my sadness and get me going.
So it was this weekend.
She and her new Hubby, Dave came up and we had a wonderful cookout here with Janet’s brother Larry and his fiancee Cindy on Saturday. We had everything from stuffed eggs, to cheeseburgers to corn on the cob! Dessert was a chocolate wedding cake for the love birds!
We managed to get the cookout in before the skies opened and it poured! We watched two movies, “When Harry Met Sally” and “The Descendents”. Both really great movies.
Sunday morning we got up early and Janet, Dave and I headed north for the Lancaster, NH Fair. It’s an annual event and it is so well done, with farm animals and 4-H projects that the local kids have been working on all year.
We had decided not to over eat. So what we did was find the Fair Food we liked and then share it. It worked out perfectly. I love fried dough with butter and powdered sugar. Janet loves kettle corn, Dave loves ribs and fried scallops. All were available, and we split them three ways. Dessert was even better. A strawberry Sundae and Apple Crisp.
We went in every tent with every sort of animal. We saw goats and pigs,
and cows
and bulls. We saw miniature horses and draft horses that pull large loads. We saw horses with little friends,
and strangely beautiful ones too.
We also got there early enough to see the dressage competition.
Today was life affirming and meeting the local people and the local kids, reminded me that life does indeed go on. And that happiness is all around, if only one stops, takes the time and looks.
Zounds! What a wonderful day and with two of my favorite movies. So happy you had a great visit
What a lovely day it must have been ! I am off for a new trip to the Lake of Geneva (on the French side) my friend and neighbor Dominique has a holiday villa there and has invited me and Nicole ! We have 800 km to drive but will do it quietly in two days, not to arrive half dead, lol !
