I’m just a wife, mother, and high school teacher trying to hold it all together with a pair of Spanx & a tub of ice cream.

chickens, rabbits, and dogs - oh my!

I am fresh from my first visit to Preston Court Days. Amy stopped by to pick up Charley for the night, so Gary and I took in a little Bath County culture-Preston Court Days! I have lived in Owingsville for 5 years and have yet to visit the oh-so-interesting Preston. It is a down scaled version of Mt. Sterling Courts Days with more antiques (junk) and local vendors (Amish and white trash). I LOVED IT!
After walking a mile from our parking spot, Gary and I bought some marshmellow guns for our nephew Tabor and his cousin's boys. These simple little toys are great - although I have about 90 marshmellows scattered about my house right now - the one thing my dog apparently does not eat, he'll lap up toilet water and dirty diapers but turns his nose at fluffy sweet candies...anyway, we also bought Charley a handmade UK dress (pink with white bows), some candles and WAY TOO much food! After gawking at the chickens, rabbits, mini horse, and dogs (warning - I am pretty sure the animal Humane Society would frown upon the caging conditions of these animals) we headed back to the house with no Charley --- very weird.
Should I nap or catch up on laundry??
After a hamburger and funnel cake, I think the couch is calling my name.

Tomorrow I may tackle Mt. Sterling Court Days --I have yet to buy my traditional pair of knock-off-too-big-for-my-head sunglasses ---

Keep blogging!!!! It took me a while to post on a regular basis... but now I find it kind of relaxing...

Mostly though, I LOVE reading my friends' blogs, especially those who I don't see often!
