In other news, Brett and I went to the Puyallup Fair ( yeah, that's a real name!) last night...its the 6th largest fair in the country ( apparently) and it was pretty good fun, especially since it was the warmest day we've had all year ( 85 degrees and beautiful!)...lots of fun. Interesting Fact: Traditional Fair food in the northwest=scones. really weird. but totally yummy.

I recall someone complaining because they had too much time in the day. I think the Lord generously answered your prayer...

Oh geez! I hate those kind of days! Where everything is a challenge to get done. Horrible! Yet funny to hear it being YOU and not ME!

Scones??? That sounds yummy.

Did they at least have a deep-fried Snickers or Twinky stand? Or funnel cakes??? (I am making myself sick thinking about fair food...)

It sounds like the same process that we go through for things overseas. I am learning new cultural differences about Washington. Thanks. I never would have guessed scones.
