The Fair…and some Dismay

So far, this has been an upsetting year all around. So the brief interlude at the Puyallup Fair was a welcome getaway from the the ugliness around us. We went on a weekday (last Friday), so the crowds were light, parking was plentiful, and the exhibits we wanted to see were open. First stop: 4H …

Did you know that people often make the wrong “climate choices”?

Yes, that is a real question. In fact, it's the headline of an article on the KOMO Web site. The article, specifically referencing dogs, is originally from the Associated Press. I am going to reprint that article here in its entirety, for the pleasure of my readers. Believe me, this will make you laugh out …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #360: Finds and Fun at the Fair

Well, since just this week I posted some photos from this year's Bellevue Arts and Crafts Fair, I guess I need to find some others for this post! Hubby and I always go the Washington State Fair, and I am always a picture-taking fool when we go (especially since I got my first smartphone and …
