What Was I Thinking?

I'm home, sitting at my work/play table creating, minding my own business when Raquel calls:


Me...........Hello

Raquel....Hi Mom, wanna buy a turkey?

Me..........Umm, I need details Raquel!

Raquel...Well, Some Turkeys didn't make the weight rules and so, we have Turkeys we need to
get rid of...... I mean sell.

Me.........Are they freak Turkeys or what....lol?

Raquel....(audible sigh)...No Mom, we just have to sell them or something.

Me.......How much are they?

Raquel....I don't know yet but I'll let you know later when I find out.

She tells me to hold on and then proceeds to yell at someone regarding the price and. I hear people talking back and big crowds of people rumbling and the PA system making announcements....


Raquel....OK, It's $30.00 and the butcher will cut and wrap and deliver.

Me.........Alright

Raquel....Really? Awesome Mom. Ok, I'll talk to ya later...Love ya!

Me........Ok...Oh Wait! Call Auntie, she might wanna buy one.

Raquel....OH! Great! OK...Good Idea....your so smart....LOL!!

Me.......And don't you forget it...bye!


I didn't ask how big, what breed, age...nothing. I was taken by surprise plus, I had Modge Podge all over my fingers and it was drying. Am I? Am I really smart?

Pink Piglets and Fond Farewells

My favorites...Pink Piglets with a dash of black and white.

Rogue won 3rd place in the Market category, meaning, muscle tone and physical appearance and Cormac placed 6th, also in the market category.

Good bye Rogue and Cormac...we love you!

Scenes from a far...oops, I mean from a Fair

Survived my first day of the Fair and actually had a fun and interesting day (click on pic to see details)...here we go..

Alex with his "I'm gonna make you stand still if it kills both of us" look...he placed 4th

Raquel beaming with confidence...she placed 6th

Textile Art...a
couple of my favorites

















Some amazing wood creations

You couldn't pay me enough to get on this Ferris wheel

A bunny and some Sunflowers

Look what we saw...I swear, it was purely coincidental...lol

and this just made us laugh...needless to say, we DID NOT eat here

...and that's all folks....I'm moo~ving on...I'm just sayin'

Pile of Piglets and One Happy Camper

One of the sows at the farm had her babies...12 of em'. Aren't they the cutest thing? I like the pink piglets the most but these are right up there. There is another sow that is due in about 2 weeks and her babies should be pink...Interesting fact about expecting sows..their gestation length is, 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days.

These are 2 days old..7 girls and 5 boys. I couldn't get too close as this mommy pig was a little temperamental and cranky.

On another note: Today was Raquel's first day at the fair. Although the fair doesn't open till tomorrow, everyone needed to arrive this morning very early to help set up. She was so excited.
hmmm, wonder if it's because her boyfriend will be there too...EVERY FRIKEN' DAY...nahh!!!
