Yesterday was senior's day at the Fair. We went at 9 a.m., as they were not charging for parking we were able to drive on down to the Floral building on the Grand to park. Everyone met in the big tent in front of the Floral bld. for Coffee & Donuts. We then went on a ride around the fair grounds. They had a tram like affair & a wagon drawn by a tractor that had park benches on it. We wound up on the wagon but had a longer & slower ride so was able to see more of the grounds with out walking. At 11:30, they served a box lunch, which turned out to be very good. After which they had a short musical program & a drawing. We both won a bag of goodies.
We then borrowed one of their wheel chairs & Dad pushed me around to see the horses, cattle & sheep. Then back by the farm lane where they had tractors & farm equipment. By then we had to return the wheel chair. They also had lots of flowers in the Floral building. The biggest in years. We looked at their art exhibit. We were tired by then & ready to go home. Best of all it didn't cost one cent! Not bad for a couple of old people at the fair.
My foot has really been giving me problems. I had a second cortisone shot Wed. but still pretty painful when I try to walk on it. They say it will take quite a while to heal.
Dad took Bob Krusinga with him fishing today on Augst Lake. They came home with 19 nice gills. Bob stayed for lunch after which Dad showed him how to fillet the fish. They both had a good time even if it did sprinkle some.
Have a good weekend.
Love, Mother & Dad
