County Fair

Home from Hannibal and the summer fun continues!

The County Fair is OPEN! This qualifies as cause for rejoicing in some quarters of this family. Me, all I see is much walking and standing around in the sun while the munchkin rides those things that scare me to death. I look around at the carnival workers and can’t muster positive feelings about their construction skills. I want to personally inspect the nuts and bolts of every ride. Grrrrrr.

Then there is the food. I guess I’m a chronic worrier. If the food is not deep fried as we wait for it, how do I know it’s clean? Of course, deep fried is the worst nutrition.

Packing my handy wipes, hand disinfectant, band aids, bottles of water, pulling on the walking shoes and going to the fair.

At the Home of Mark Twain

Having a wonderful 4th in Hannibal. There is an antique shop everywhere I look. Also the views of the Mississippi are amazing. Hannibal's flood walls held so there is no damage. I've fallen in love with this charming little town.

A really fun thing I've had time to do this weekend is draw. One of the stories I just completed features humanoids with distinctly feline features. I was able to sit down and draw what Hero I've been seeing in my head. When I get home I'll scan him and post. You'll see why he would not allow me time to finish another book before doing his story.

Hope everyone is having a fun and safe holiday!
