I met my daughter at her house. We waited a good long time thinking the rain would let up. It finally did ...but only a bit. Lizzy came over to join us.
We are in the food tent waiting , again. The rains kept the crowds away. There were very few people in town when we arrived. The ones in charge of the fest must be getting their tents from another company. I remember when the tents were plenty wide enough for to sets of table and an aisle way. Plus they had sides to pull down when it rained. The rain was blowing in yesterday.
Will you look at my Angie squinting to see her phone...why don't people use their glasses? I have given my sister Jeanie about 10 pairs of reading glasses and when she's out and about...she never has a pair with her.
This was what Angie and I chose to eat , b-b-q sandwiches. Nothing more. You had to eat it with a fork.
Yes, I used my big NYC umbrella , yesterday. It was fitting as a remembrance to 9-11 . Thank you to all who commented yesterday. I watched some of the things that were shown on television in the evening. I could not help but cry for those that were killed and those left behind to mourn.
Celebrating Korey and Ashley's wedding anniversary today. It's been one year. Happy Anniversary kids. They are going to NYC and then on to Italy to celebrate. What a wonderful young couple . I am extremely proud of them . I always pray they will hold on to their sweet love.
Wishing all of you a great day. XO

Hi Susie....Good for you and the girls...sticking out the rain for the festival! What a truly fitting umbrella commemorating 9/ll. We watched all of the shows in remembrance of the day too. So sad for everyone. Happy Anniversary to the happy couple! Sounds like a wonderful trip for them!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend, sweet friend.
Love you.

Debbie, It is fun to be with our daughters. Seems we can never have enough of those kinds of days. Watching the remembrance shows was painful. Blessings, love, Susie
Deleteahhh, nothing better, even in the rain, than a day with a ones we love.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll have a barbque sandwich today. :)
BJ, I have the best times when I am with my daughters. When I was raising them, I never dreamed they would be my dearest friends when they were grown. :):) They are. I like pork b-b-q. I just don't have it often. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteToo bad about the rain, but you were with family and that's always good.
ReplyDeleteHi Janet, We have been needing this rain for over a month..it just seemed a bother here at festival time. The girls and I had some fun any way. We had coffee at Angie's later. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteIt sounds like you had a fun day at the festival, Susie! Those barbecue sandwiches look so good that I want one. Love your NYC umbrella. It is my wish to someday visit there with the girls. This is a cute picture of you and your daughter. Happy Anniversary to the lovely couple.
ReplyDeleteHave a pleasant weekend, Susie. I am going to the Polish festival today and it should be fun.
love, ~Sheri
Sheri, Hope you get better pictures at your festival. Today is cooler and the big parade for the festival is going on right now in Tipton. My girls and I used to gather on our friends sidewalk and watch it go by. Some times fun and some times almost too hot. I always had a ablanket to sit on and straws for the sodas...so kids didn't suck a bee down their throats. LOL. Enjoy yourself today. Bless you, love, susie
DeleteUnfortunately rain does put a damper on outdoor activities. How lucky they are to celebrate their anniversary in Italy! We always want our children to be blessed in their marriages.
ReplyDeleteLinda, You are right...I have prayed harder for my children and my grands than I ever have for myself. LOL. I would love for their marriages to be the perfect one and last forever. I always tell them to work at it...marriage isn't all a breeze. But if they could stay best friends it will be easier. Bless you, xoxo.Susie
DeleteAT least you didn't have to fight the crowds with the rain!! I LOVE rain and go right on in spite of it just as you and your daughter do! No rain here, though! We are still above average from all that we had back in the spring. Still - we are DRY! It rained here at home while we were in the country so nothing died while we were gone. Is your pretty Angie the school teacher? I know you had fun being together no matter WHAT the weather was like! Amber invited me to sit with her at a craft fair coming on October. She will have a booth featuring her hand crafted jewelry. Last time she had one was when she was early pregnant with the quads. That's a memory I still hold dear!
ReplyDeleteI never mind getting wet unless I am wearing nice shoes. LOL. Funny the way this rain has waited till our festival. But the ground just soaked it right up. Boy did we need it. Yes, Angie is my oldest daughter and she is the school teacher....she takes that Friday off for us to be together. I so appreciate it too. She actually take her class thru the fest on Thursday. They go to the post office, jail and police dept...to see how it all works...then thru the fest and over to the pizza place for lunch. Hope you and Amber enjoy the fair again this year. love you, Susie
DeleteThe rain seems to find a way to festivals. Our son as a hobby and side job makes old fashioned wooden rubber band guns like Grandpa use to make. His business is called the OldTimer. His last craft fair it poured...but kids didn't care, his booth was busy all day with the kids shooting the rubber band guns at soda cans. He had a very profitable day in spite of the rain.
ReplyDeleteWanda, I am glad your son still had a profitable day. The saddest thing I saw yesterday was a young fellow carrying his lunch plate and it was raining on his lunch. I just wanted to cry seeing that. Don't know why he never ask for a plastic bag to cover it. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteGreat post! I laughed when you mentioned about Angie never having her glasses!1 That is so much like my husband who never has a pair with him when he needs them.....
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs,
Debbie
Debbie, I still laugh about those galsses..especially my sister Jeanie. I mean I have given her at least 10 pairs fo readers and she has asked to borrow the one from my head to read a snippet..Gosh . I tell them bring glasses ...you never know when you will need them. Love your cute pumpkins. xoxo,Susie
DeleteHi Susie,
ReplyDeleteSorry it rained for your festival but glad you went and had fun anyway. Have a great week end.
Kris
Kris, we were not out in the rain long ...stopped in Horton's and the florist shop. But being with my girls was fun and I need that every chance I get. Hugs to you. You know I am thinking of you .xoxo,Susie
DeleteSo sorry about the rain, It rained here yesterday and today. every 9/11 brings back sad memories. I sure do feel sorry for the family and friends that lost love ones that day. Hugs
ReplyDeleteDebby, Today has been awesome...perfect temps. It only rained on Friday. xoxo,Susie
DeleteThat's too bad that it rained for the festival. I'm sure there were Many disappointed vendors. I hope you at least enjoyed your time with your daughter! That's the bonus!! Blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI did feel sorry for the venders. But later that evening the crowds were bigger. My daughter and her husband worked the pork food tent as volunteers. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSorry about the rain--same for us but I'd rather have been at a fun festival than stuck at home!! :)
ReplyDeleteJane x
Blondie, I had fun with my girls. we always have some great laughs at ourselves. We later had a coffee at Angie's to warm up. yes it was that cold. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
