So this weekend I became a little kid again, and went to my sisters farm!!!! It was such a blast - I really don't know why I wait so long between trips.....
When we get there the first step is the county fair (who even has county fairs anymore). I don't think my own kids much less the grandkids know what a county fair is. First thing - frito pie! - next step look at my hero sister's blue ribbon - if there were a Michael Phelps in the fair world it would be my sister - 10 blue ribbons, 6 red ribbons, and i think 5 white ribbons - i'm sure I have my #'s mixed up - BS you could clarify this with your comment. I was so proud of her, and of course everyone had to speak to us and I was surprised they didn't ask for a autograph!!!!! I was soooo cool.
Next after checking out all Wal-marts with a 30 miles limit - we hit all the clearence isles!! Then chicken fried steak at Pumpkins - what a life. But, the best part was still to come.
When we got home, clean dog pens (twice) because they like to poo on freshly cleaned cement, washed water bowls, feed them regular dog food (from the vet of course), then fed them scraps and talked and made them feel loved - which they are - then raise or lower the sun screens depending on what time of day it is. Then feed pheasants, peacocks, turkeys, chickens, and guinnies and a few kittens. But the best of day was when the guinnies went to roost - of my goodness it was the best of times. If you didn't know - guinnies are really dumb - they fly up to roost on a pipe all facing east - a few at a time - the later ones fly up hoping to find a good spot and of course there is room where they fly - so they walk across the backs of their buddies knocking down 3 at a time until they find a spot - after watching this over and over by the time the sun goes down they have all found the perfect spot. It was the greatest trip ever!!!! I say we do some family get together @ Tuttle!!!!!! It was so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you little sister, and thanks for the great time.
