The rest of the story…from the Fair

Well, it's "later" now, so here are more of the things, people, and animals we saw at the Evergreen State Fair. First, let's get the politics out of the way. Both the Democrats and the Republicans had booths in their commercial building. Please notice the two booths. Please note that the Democrats have twice the …

Is this the worst female villain? A book so dark I had to skim through the second half.

This weekend, I finished a book that, halfway through, I considered not finishing at all. The reason was that the protagonist was so disgusting and evil that she made me almost physically sick. I decided to just skim through the second half, just to see if she suffered the consequences of her depraved behavior. The …

Late on Friday. Animal tales (tails?)

So many great animal posts came out this week that I just had to share them. First, an absolutely belly-busting video from Simon’s Cat. https://twitter.com/simonscat/status/2047635214294196468?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Ouch! Next, a new little member of the Snow Creek family in Tennessee.

Lunar New Year is Here: Year of the Horse

So, in honor of the Year of the Horse (I have been horse-crazy since childhood), here are some horses that caught my eye and my fancy. My ultimate favorite horse breed is Friesian. They are magnificent, and I think they are the most beautiful with their shiny black coats, and manes that would make any …

A vacation to the Carolinas.

Neither hubby nor I had ever been to the Carolinas, so when we received an invitation to a Hillsdale College Economic Forum in Charlotte, I jumped at the chance to visit. What clinched it was the fact that one of the speakers would be the young database guru who goes by the X handle of …

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 …

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 …
