Can you guess?

Can you guess where we went this weekend?

Yep. That's Big TEX and this was the first time in over 30 years I have been to the State Fair!

So many memories. Watching them make saltwater taffy,

The SkyWay, the rides, the lagoon with the swan paddle boats, Fleischer's Corn Dogs, all the exhibits. It was so much fun. And of course, we had to try all (or at least some) of the new fried foods. Fried frito pie, Fried Margaritas,

...Fried Beer (My husband said it was 'nasty').

And topped it off with a visit to the Vietnam Veterans's Memorial. Placed a flag by my cousin Ronnie's name and Donnie Tidwell's name.

Fun in the Kitchen

Run Like a Mother

What a blessing! The 2010 Run Like a Mother event had a great turn-out. Over 200 people! And the proceeds all went to the Rhodes family who lost their son last week. It was awesome to be a part of this great event in our own Community!


My friends and I knew the parking would be horrible...so we had the 'brilliant idea' to walk from my house to the event (almost 2 miles), then after we arrived, we mingled and walked around for 45 minutes before the event started. Then 2 miles run/walk for the event. Then another 45 minutes of mingling/walking around...then the 2 miles trek back to my house! Whew! Those hills about killed my legs!

Saw so many sweet friends and cousins and loved visiting with them! Here I am chatting with my cousin Nikki! And below are cousins Lacy & Shelly. Great to visit with family at these events!

I was thinking to myself that next year we will drive over to do the event...then I saw pictures of myself and decided I needed the extra miles! I hate pictures of myself! But I'm posting anyway for motivation!

The boys!
