Day Before the shows

Did I mention Mami is a John Deere Girl?This couple Glenn and Debbie Johnson are Tractor Lovers and Glenn made up this trailer like thing for his wife to ride behind him. It even has a cup holder. Well, I rushed over and told Mami about them and I told the Johnson's about Mami loving John Deere ever since Iowa and her combine ride and they offered her a ride.

Amelia and Olivia even got to ride it. They had a blast. These things are what make each fair so different.

Here is our setup. Can you believe how long that banner line is getting. We have a big span a sauna and pool guy set up to our left (your right) and a air bubble water rider thigny on our right (your left) and a dog show on the other side of them. That makes our 3rd dog show we will perform with this year.

While Mami and I slipped off for shopping and lunch at Whataburger Victor did his studies and then did some origami.

Miles the cow tipping stud....wrong shirt for NM.

Bug of the day. A horn worm Caterpillar.

We drove past these guys and around these guys on the way up. Now they are setting up directly behind us. I think Nick stood on the RV to shoot this. By the way, Frank (Nick's dad) i still haven't old him you painted his room pink. Shhhhh

In stead of a hotel room the fair provided us with an RV trailer donated by a local RV dealer. Well, it is rumored to be one of those unused ones from Katrina. It has rust here and there. he water pump is broken, there was no hose to hook up to water, the lp gas line was broke and it had a few other problems. Victor got a loose staple stuck in his foot from the carpet in it. Well, the fair maintenance people got the water heater hooked up directly to the tanks, got us a hose, and fixed most of the other problems.

Our Rv set up next to the trailer RV and our box trailer closing in one end, our van the other has created a clown ally or court yard for us to sup and hang out. In fact I am there typing now. It's kind of nice not having to run off to a hotel each night.

The new hubcap for the van arrived...not brand new..in fact, used....maybe it is the same one that was taken in Iowa. Hmmmmm. Conspiracy theorist. ;-)

A bunch of specialized diapers arrive too. We will get the new ladder for the RV tomorrow and our tight rope arrives on Friday.

Mami's cold is a bit better. At Whataburger she had a really good burger, some jalapenos and some instant Japanese soup she brought with her. I think the John Deere ride helped too.

Cynthia called and will see a doctor about her wrist Carpel tunnel? Tendentious? Keep her in your prayers. She misses her favorite store, Ross, and is looking forward to coming home Christmas to hit the 5-story SF Ross.

A belated Happy 69th to JC ...we love you man!

This fair we are at seems like it is going to be a great one. The facilities are filled with history and the people around here seem very nice. Our layout is perfect. PTL

Ciao for tonight.
