With our spirits so low, we really, really needed a
diversion. So we splurged and treated ourselves to a day at the county fair.
What fun!
We got to see numerous entries by friends, from animals to a single
flower, bread, jam, photographs, and a quilt. These even inspired us to enter
next year! Then there was the fair food – pulled pork nachos (yum!) and my
favorite… cotton candy. Hey, it’s only once a year right?
We heard the Pony Express race put on by members of the
Colville tribe was a definite must-see, so we went home to take care of the
afternoon/evening chores and then went back for the race, as well as barrel
racing, mutton busting (too cute to miss!) and bull riding. Apparently, our
little fair is unique in that it is one of the last fairs in Washington to
still have horse racing. And what a sight to behold! Wow, talk about athletes,
both human and equine. We’re glad we went back, although an EMT friend said she
hates it since she is usually standing by for any injuries.
Our spirits were refreshed from an entire day of not
thinking about our problems, visiting with friends, and getting in touch with
the community a bit more.
At 5 a.m. Tom woke up with the stomach flu. Ugh.
