Oh the joy . . .

Today I will be taking Rachal and Mike up to the West Texas Fair in Abilene to enter their artwork. It brings back so many memories for me. I remember as a child making crafts, drawings and once I even sewed something for the fair. The excitement when you bring your entry to the Modern Living Mall, wait in line, see all of the other entries, worried that yours is not good enough to win anything. Then after the LONG three day wait we would scan the paper each day to see who had won in each category. We would cheer for our friends when they won, we would cry when we didn't see our names listed and we would shout and dance when we saw our name in the winners list. Oh the excitement on the day our family would head to the fair. To go and see our artwork, our craft on display for all the world to see. (OK maybe it was only the Abilene area, but still!) And today, Tuesday, September 6, 2011 I will be walking thru the fair grounds again but this time as a proud parent and wife.

Rachal is submitting items from her pottery class and Mike is submitting pictures we took while in Japan.
