The Fair

We (Me, Jim, Mandy, Renee, Marie, Dad, and Gail) went to the Racine County Fair last night! Fun time. Jim won me a Clown fish by popping balloons and Mandy played her sport "The Ducks". You know the ones where you pick a duck and see what number is on the bottom. She did so good. She won a little bear at one then two Lambs at the other. Bagel our dog is now the proud owner of the clown fish. :)

 

My spare time...

I thank my mom for my life and gifts that she left me. In my spare time one of the things I like to do is a wide aray of crafts. When my cousin Molly was to be married she wanted a more personal top for her cake. She asked me if I could make something. "Sure" I would figure it out. I got out my "sculpey" clay and made a cute bride and groom that were similar to them is dress and hair. Since then I have done many via word of mouth. I thought you would like to see what one looks like. I made this one just two weeks ago and took about five hours to do. I had pictures and descriptions to follow. I just think it is a nice way to remember a special day. I also make little baby figurines for showers.

My musical snippets

My sister is known for her ability to remember lyrics and her beautiful voice. I am NOT! I have an OK voice but a terrible memory for lyrics. I thought I would write out the "Stream of Lyrics" I do know. Here I go!

.... ...... ..Pepper..............The Farmer and the Dell..........I go walking after midnight ...............I lift my voice................. Holy Holy.... ......B-A-G-E-L---- B-A-G-E-L and bagel is her name O......... Dumb dog why are you following me... .......Silent night holy night..... ........


Yeah that's it for now!



Hope you enjoyed that! :)

Vegas or bust

Back From Vegas!!! I had a good time and came out almost even with my gambling. I would definitely take a flight that was non-stop next time. It is too hard to deal with the transfers of the wheelchair and Mandy. I do not like rushing down the halls of the airport hoping we get to the next flight in time.
The weather was great. About 114 degrees and sunny. I only got a little tan due to being in and out of all the hotels and shops. My favorite stop was the M&M World shop. Two stories of M&M stuff. For those that do not know I love the Yellow M&M character. I do not eat them often but he is my favorite and I bought a few things for myself when I was in there. :) The girls thought I was silly when I came out with a big smile on my face.
Saturday was fun walking and walking and walking... But we saw wonderful places and had a lot of laughs. That night we saw the water show and met up with my favorite Stephanie. That made my day. I have not seen enough of her in the past months and got a hug I really needed. THANKS!!!
Sunday was fun at the pool and in the sun. Then on to more walking. Good times and lots of stops at Starbucks. During the trip I played the slots at a few places but the best time was just Mandy and I playing and going for Bread Pudding and Grits at about 1 in the morning.
Monday was when we stopped at the highest Starbucks and then waited a hour for the accessible cab to head for the airport. I am not at liberty to go into to much detail about the flight and what happened but I will say... The wheelchair was missing parts and I was missing my luggage by the time we got back to Chicago. All is being worked out and I have all my luggage back. I finally got home at 2 am Tuesday and slept.

Tomorrow is the NINE year anniversary of my mother going home to the Father. I want to cry, be alone, be together, laugh, look forward, look back, and get her back!

Mandy and I at "The Top of the World".
