September Saturday

Must be my body is still on hotel room time...woke up promptly at 5:58am...all done sleeping. Anyway..it has stopped raining and less humid too. I think I like early September though...there is something about the weather and how it cools down quickly just to make the kids feel better about going back to school. There are leaves turning at home too...;-D

August/September reminds me of the state fairs too. I missed the Champlain Valley Exposition this year BUT not the best part...Leo took his grandson and brought me some maple cotton candy. What a guy! He had sugar on snow, Demian. We all have our favorites at the fair. I also remember a few years when my mother would let me play hookey from school and she would take me to the Eastern States Exposition....I think it's referred to as The Big E now...geesh...probably has been for 20 something years too. It's still Eastern States to me. There's something quite appealing about "the fair"...the exhibits, the animals, the giant vegetables and the crocheted doillies...not to mention the enormous varieties of people to watch. Just where ARE these people when they aren't at the fair...Wal-Mart I suspect.

Gee there is always the chance to jaunt off somewhere when we have a weekend away like this. They had e-savers to Bermuda for this weekend too...hhhmmmm....I guess not, maybe some other time...year...after they rebuild.

I finished reading whatever I had been before I left...started Ridley Pearson's The Art of Deception on the plane down here. However, I went to Costco yesterday and found a book by Laurie Notaro entitled The Idiot Girls Action Adventure Club. I've only read a few chapters but I was laughing so hard outloud I had tears in my eyes and legs crossed. Too funny! Guess it's not reading material for the plane or anywhere else in public.

I found the local crab shack yesterday....only carried out cream of crab soup and spiced shrimp for dinner last night. Will have to go back for platters of crab cakes or crabs today or tomorrow. One of those things you want to do right when you want to eat them. We've seen it several times on our travels but I finally stopped yesterday. Yup, it's the local carry out. The pool is closed and covered....oh yeah..we have Sponge Bob pictured electronic room keys. There is some promotional weekend sleepover deal including kids...I think they have to have their parents with them though ( snort) We rented movies last night. Hhhmmm the scenery in The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers is great and again it was an extravaganza of a movie. Not strong on plot though.

Don't know what the plans are for today....so far I'm made orange stick buns, read/written email. gift shopped for my brother in the hospital ( I'm sure he'll enjoy the fish ballooon) and written this. My My...I just may have time for a nap later.
