Well the pork festival has come and gone...and I did not even go . This is the 1st year in , I do not know how long, that I never went. I usually meet my daughter Angie there on Friday. But this year she had taken the days for next weeks wedding and could not take Friday off.
The top photo are pins I have worn to the fest before. This is last years T-shirt. Things change, it almost seems sad. I remember when my daughters , grandkids, and I would watch the parade , sitting on a friend 's lawn. Our friend's kids would sell water and sodas. LOL. It always was a fun time.
Hope everyone has a great day . XO
times do change. sometimes for the better though, maybe something nice is just around the corner! now quick, go see!

Bee, There will be some changes this week for sure. My grandson is getting married in Utah. So I will be away for awhile. Hard to believe he's this old. xoxo,Susie
DeleteIn recent years I have become allergic to pork! Poor me, but lucky pigs! That T- shirt
ReplyDeletemakes me smile!
I always love to visit you and find out what's happening in that sweet little place called Tipton!
w/L!

Thank you Blondie. I am ready to get the flight part of the trip over...xoxo,Susie
DeleteHi Blondie girl, Thank you, I will be happy with family. I need a break from computer woes. I am hoping that everyone will take pictures and pass them to me as I am not taking my camera.. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI love the little piggy pin!! Sounds like a fun day...sorry you missed it this year, Susie. I am so with you on holding onto summer this year. We didn't get much good weather this year...so the season seemed much too short! Or maybe I enjoyed having the kids up here so much this year, I just hate to see it all come to an end. I guess we have no choice! Like it or not...The season is changing, dear friend. We'll have to put on our big girl panties, and deal with it! Have a great time at the wedding that's coming up! Blessing to you, and your family!

It did seem as though Spring was not a full season. Summer's weather was a bit rough at times. But come winter we will be longing for spring and summer again. Thank you for the blessings. xoxo,Susie
DeleteCute pins and t-shirt! We were supposed to go to the fair this week, but 'life' got in the way! I was sorry to miss it.
ReplyDeleteSusan
I know how that is...Things do pop up. Maybe next time we can make it to our fairs. xoxo,Susie
DeleteAdorable pins and shirt..It must have been a fun affair...sorry you missed it.
ReplyDeleteHi Bj... there's always next year. This week will be a bust and fast one. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteIt's sad you din't make it this year, but I'm sure it's just a bump in the road and you'll be back at it next year. Until then, squeal on!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Patti
HI Patti, Hopefully next year will not be as busy as this year has been. It's been busy and costly too. Hope you are having some nice days to enjoy this tail end of summer. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteIt's nice to have the fun memories and you are right...things change. We can enjoy what we have now and that's what's important! We are back in Florida! It was nice to have a couple of days to recover from the trip. Now it's fun to catch up! I've missed you! Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet Diane. I am happy that you are glad to be back in Florida. You did show us some wonderful pictures though. I have a busy week coming up. It will be good to relax after. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteYes-it is sad to see some of our "traditions" come to an end or change. I see it, too, Susie.
ReplyDeleteThose are cute pins and just think of the fun you had wearing then before. xo Diana
Diana, I think some changes are slower than others. When it comes to family that is the way I want it. :):) I want to hold on to those adorable moments with my girls and their families. I remember I made my mom one of the pig pins too. She and I used to the fest the first day it opened. Angie and I will go again next year. xoxo,Susie
DeleteYes, times do change...but isn't it wonderful to have those sweet memories?
ReplyDeleteBlessings ,
Gert
Gert, The memories are good. I remember when my mom and I would go when the fest had it's first day open. I remember the year my daughter got 1st runner up in the Miss Pork contest. When my brother drove the queen in the parade. I even remember when my daughter's father and I drove a float of one of the nursing home. We were just dating then. It all makes me smile. xoxo,Susie
