Buckeye Tree

The buckeye tree down the street is dropping lots of beautiful buckeyes this year. We walk down and collect them and put them in our new pottery bowls. Take one...they are good luck.

Visitors to the Fair

Fair 2008

We're at our Pottery and Ceramics booth at the Fair. We had lots more entries this year and we were able to fill up all the shelves. We took Gpa's painting of a pot of flowers and my posters of the Townsend pottery fair.

I think the entrants will all be pleased with their ribbons except one man. He entered a large sculpture that we placed in the clay category. Well, the judges said it was plaster of paris and said it was disqualified. The man came by later and insisted that it was made of white clay...the kind that air dries..you don't fire it. He said he carved the bust out of a large piece of white clay.

The Fair starts today so we will be sitting at our booth protecting the pots and watching the pots walking by..

What a Family!!

Gpa had a little surgery on Monday, and our family as usual came to our rescue. Rose stayed with us two days at the hospital and brought us home. Butch showed up on Friday morning. He was loaded with goodies from Joquita...homemade bread, frozen casseroles, and brownies. Butch helped us load up our stuff for the fair and took us over and helped us decorate our booths. He took us over to UT to visit with Sam in his new apartment . It was a fun adventure.

Then on Saturday, David, Melissa, Scott and Todd arrived. Rose and Paul dropped in with some delicious peaches .
Scott used his pharmacy skills to test Gpa's blood sugar. and didn't hurt him too much...

Todd had brought over Rose's power washer, so David and Scott and Todd worked on the front porch and steps. It looks great. They blew the leaves off the patio too.

Melissa took me grocery shopping and she fixed supper for everybody.

WHAT A WONDERFUL FAMILY....
