Yesterday, Judy treated Em and me to a trip to the Schaghticoke Fair. It was a great day: warm, sunny and no rain. We shoved Em’s wagon into the trunk of my car, secured it with a bungee cord, and though Em didn’t want to ride in it much, we were glad to have it for packages and bags. Em loved the animals, especially the cows. There is something special about cows. They’re warm and soft and gentle.
We spent almost 4 hours walking around, visiting with a friend of Judy’s and having lunch. Em fell asleep in the car seat on the way home but woke up when I took her out of the car. I was pooped, and for the 90 minutes between getting home and Tony picking her up, I let Em watch TV.
The pictures below were taken at the fair.
Today we signed on the dotted lines for the home equity. Ron’ll order the new furnace and equipment to go with it. We’re also getting the roof replaced, from the peak to the back yard. From the peak to the front of the house, the roof is tin and in good shape. It will be repainted. I am so relieved that we’re taking care of these things. They’ve been gnawing at me.
It’s been kind of a laid back day. I’ve done a few loads of clothes and stripped & remade the bed, but that’s about it. I’m getting the urge to paint and start fall cleaning. I hope the urge stays with me for the next few weeks.
Tonight we’re going out for pizza to the Wayside. Haven’t had one in a long time.
