This last weekend we worked out last three weddings of a four wedding weekend stretch. We have a weekend off this coming weekend before things go crazy again for Labor Day. I feel like I got my true intro into wedding world this weekend. This weekend was the first time I came face to face with a bride that was less than happy with her bouquets. But, we made a quick fix and all was better. Now, I would like to teach you all a valuable lesson and please, pass this along to all your friends. Pay close attention here.... flowers do NOT grow in one consistent solid shade in nature. Flowers come from nature and therefore, the color cannot be controlled. For the final part of the lesson, if there are things you do NOT want, it is best to speak your mind before it is down to the wire. Thank you, that is all. Oh, and if you want to check out a couple of the wedding from the last few weekends, head on over to Cynthia's blog and check out some photos!
Since we hadn't hit up the fair yet this year, we thought we would venture out there for the final day and half price admission. It may have been the last day of the fair, but it was still plenty busy and the food was still amazing. We had to start off with the usual corn dog and root beer. Yum! Then we moved onto a pickle dawg. I saw they were also frying these this year, which was a new option, but Andrew and I decided pickle dawgs just aren't meant to be fried. And yes, we paid $3 for a pickle spear slathered in cream cheese with ham wrapped around it, don't judge. After a brief hike to the rather disappointing wine makers exhibit, I decided it was time for some chili cheese fries, and man were they good! As usual, we had to get our bucket of cookies, which we got for free this year thanks to one of Andrew's coworkers that was working the cookie stand (don't hate me because I have connections). We also made away with some taffy and finally, I had to pick up a apple turnover. I think that just about covers everything that we ate. Oh, and I threw a snow cone in there for good measure. Now, you might be asking yourself what about the funnel cake, what is a fair without a funnel cake? We went back and forth on this and landed on no for the funnel cake. Why? Because the last three we spent over $5 a piece were total crap. I think two we blamed on old oil and yes, you can tell when it is old and the other was just bad batter. Needless to say, I think it has been a couple of years since I had a funnel cake.
Next weekend we are planning to take advantage of our free weekend and finish up a project in the yard. Last week Andrew worked on the stairs from the deck to the path. This coming weekend we are going to work on edging the path and re-doing a couple of spots that are less than level. I super excited that we might be able to call this project done at the end of this coming weekend. Who knows, we might even get the deck stained too!
Stay tuned tomorrow when I show you my scores for end of season bargain hunting! I love a good clearance!
