This morning the weather was much cooler--almost had the feel of autumn in the air. We walked three miles again, and I feel a little more confident about walking the 5K on Saturday.

After breakfast and doing his PT exercises, John headed outside to mow some grass. With the rains and hot weather earlier in the week, the lawn was getting out of control again. He also checked out the garden and found we had a couple of ripe tomatoes--the first of the season.


While John was busy with outside work, I started cleaning up around the house. With both of us out of commission for over a week, things really needed some attention inside. I did manage to get a room or two back under control.

We ate an early supper and then headed into the fair for the evening. Our first stop, of course, was the Original Arts building to see how Hanna and I did with our photography. I am very happy to say that two of Hanna's photos won ribbons and nine of my photos also received ribbons. We ran into Matt's family later in the evening and I must say Hanna had a great big smile on her face. Good job Hanna!!! The other big news is that John also received ribbons for his pelican and face carvings.

John wants his wood carving friends to know that the ribbon and pelican will be coming to Texas this winter. We only covered half of the fair tonight--seems we kept running into folks we hadn't seen for a while and ended up spending most of the time visiting and catching up. We at least made it through the livestock barns before calling it a night. We will be back again tomorrow.
