We have had so much going on around here. The girls have been having a ball. Here are Rebecca and Tess. Our next door neighbor's grand daughter got married today and we went to the wedding. The last picture is of Paige (oldest grand daughter) graduating from High School.
That's a lot for one June.
I'm still working at the Fair and am really ready for that to be over with. It's fun, but very long hard days. I hate to say I'm getting too old, but maybe I am. Really most things are going fine, and the weather has been perfect. It is so much hotter at my house than at the coast. It really is a good thing to be by the ocean.
I have been knitting on my "Freckles" sweater like crazy. Can't wait to finish it. I was hoping to get it done by the end of the fair, but I think that is too much to ask. I even think I will need to spin more yarn. I really have no idea how much a sweater needs, but I am almost out of yarn and haven't done the sleeves yet. Sooooo I will be spinning more "Freckles." I have lots so that's not a problem. Infact she lives in my pasture, so I have all I want!!!
Back to work tomorrow. I only took a day off to go to Angel's wedding.

Back to work at the Fair!

Well, it is that time again. The San Diego County Fair is in full swing. It opened on Saturday the 14th and will run until Sunday July 6th. We are hard at work to make the Fair a fun happening.

After three weeks of taking in entries and setting up and displaying we are open for business. The Llamas were there just for the weekend and I missed them. I think the sheep and all come in today. (monday my day off). I am taking it easy and getting caught up on laundry and all that jazz.

The kids went to be with their Dad for the weekend and Ron came to the fair and I took him out to dinner for Father's Day. We shared alot of goodies and waited for my Mom to get off work. Then we all drove home and I almost fell asleep on the way. Only two days of the fair and I am already tired. Probably from setting up and getting ready. It has been rather stressful this year. The place we usually use for the oneday contests is not available for us so we have moved it all out to the patio. There are more challenges there than I had hoped for. Oh well, we will manage and all will have a good. time.

Here are three new members of our flock. The black one is a Border Leister and her name is Coacoa. The others are half Ramboulet and Columbia. Their names are Sweater (on the right) and Soxs (on the left) They are all sweet and Ron loves all of them. We now have nine in our spinners flock and I am told that is perfect. I agree and am now in Wool Heaven.
