The Weekend

The summer weekends are in fun swing at our house and with summer, come the car shows and the County Fairs. We start off the first Fair of the season, with the Hennepin County Fair. The ribbon count: Ted 11 and Kim 54. Not a bad way to start the year off. And my nephew Chris, won 2 ribbons on his beer. Then there is was the Back to the 50s car show, at the State Fair ground. 11,000 cars, thousands of people and fog, mist and rain. But, I we haven't melted yet from being wet, so we stuck it out. Next weekend, the canning operation goes into gear and the floor in the kitchen is sticky all summer.
