jdmkleinDaughter and i went to the cow show yesterday morning. We got out there a bit early, we were there before 10:30 and not many of the stalls were open yet. We walked around the grounds and through some barns. We went through some dairy barns, and the hall of breeds. We wandered through the exhibition halls, but didn't go down the midway. We picked up some information on basket weaving. i thought maybe Daughter might like to try her hand at that. When we mentioned it to mother and she liked the idea. Maybe it will happen. If Daughter gets approved for the paratransit, she can do it on her own if Mother decides she doesn't want to go.
We didn't go to any of the shows in the hippadrome. i don't know why, we just didn't make it in. We did sit outside for a bit and watch the show horses warming up, waiting for their time in the ring.
i was a bit disappointed. The show seemed so small. i guess it loses its importance if you aren't a farmer interested in the livestock and machinery or a young person interested in the miday. It was a nice way to spend a Saturday, though, and that was important. We left just before it started raining. Lucky us. My knees are suffering today but i'll live.
After we left the cow show we went to get subs for lunch. i have now had every food i have missed for the past year. i had my first steak last night and it was delicious. My food demon has been sated.
i have started packing for the trip back. i believe i will have to buy another bag. This does not excite me at all. i really don't want to have to deal with a carry on and the laptop all the way back to Kuwait, but i don't think i can get everything in one bag and still be able to lift it. i have some rearranging to do, and i'll be taking things out of their packaging and putting bubble wrap and ziplock bags round them, but i still believe i'll have to buy another bag.
Onent and her husband went out to dinner with us last night. Son and daughter-in-law, Mother, Daughter and i. Daughter has trouble being in loud crowded places. All the noise disturbs her. It was supposed to be a little party for her, but i don't think she enjoyed it as much as she would have if we had gone to another restaurant. We had to wait 90 minutes for a table. Son called and asked and then they went to the restaurant, got a pager and shopped for a bit. When he was paged, he called us and we got there before they were seated. Had a nice meal, but we were crammed in a booth for four and there were 7 of us. They did put a chair at the end of the table.
It was difficult to say goodbye to Onent last night. i don't know why. We both got weepy and just stood and hugged each other as if it were going to be the last time we would get to see each other. i hope that isn't an omen of some sort.We just didn't have enough time this summer. i am so blessed that she is my friend.
Today, if i can arrange it, i'll be spending the day with my son and his wife. i don't want to ask Mother for the car again, so i don't know how i will get there. i'll call him about noon and see if he is willing to come and pick me up and bring me back. Tomorrow is an appointment for Mother so that has kind of shot plans with Auntie Nurse. Maybe i can just go over there and sit on her deck for the afternoon. Just Auntie Nurse and i.
