I really have nothing to say...I've been busy traveling again as usual...and I don't want to jinx myself, but I may not have to travel for the next couple of weeks! Woot Woot!
On Saturday, I was all fired up to go to the Baldwin, Kansas Annual Maple Leaf Festival - yes, I'm sure it is on par with all the Canadian Maple Leaf Festivals. This is the biggest money maker of the year for that little town. There's a parade, with the ubiquitous High School Band...memories, as well as horses and fire trucks, OH MY! Loads of local vendors selling anything and everything as well as tons of "fair food". MMMmmmm funnel cake. But, alas, this year, it rained. And I mean rained. I don't think it slacked off one bit the entire day. So we made a valiant effort to still go and walk around, until the wind started blowing so hard, the little tents about to fly away. The rain was coming in sideways and we had to walk with our umbrellas directly in front of our bodies. I was soaked through by the time we got to our friend's house who lives in Baldwin. Luckily, she not only fed us - some yummy chili (how perfect is that on a yucky cold day), but had a fire in the fireplace AND let us use her dryer to dry our sopping wet jeans. There is nothing like a full belly and putting on jeans fresh from the dryer. I'm such a great guest...love to show my respect for their hospitality, by falling asleep on the sofa! I'm such a treasure to bring anywhere.
Lucky for me, I have the kind of friends who could care less. What's a little drool between friends?
