Flu Shots at the County Fair

The first year we were here Loren mentioned they got their shots during the county fair and we began getting our there. Today we gaggled up and headed there.  In addition to the shots you can also get free cholestrol, blood sugar and blood pressure.  And of course AFTER we would do another "quality" check of Carmen's Kitchen.  (Ken does these about 3-4 times a week is you get my drift.)
It was also kid day so we had to plan our routes after the shooting.  Bill/Maurene, Wyn/Ki and us went together.  The judged exhibits are displayed behind chicken wire so you can't get real up close.  This one is very awesome - and the judges thought so also.  It looks like metal on the top; Ki thought the "kids" might be light bulbs and we all agree the bottom may be a gourd.

              

This blue ribbon leather painting caught my eye.

This crocheted artwork reminded me of our niece Audrey.  Hers were the first "artwork" pieces I had ever seen

Maurene browses while the teacher gaggles up her pink shirted kiddies.  There were also green and blue groups.

Wyn and Ki working their kidfree plan.

This pic is for DEBBIE - stained glass.  Hmmm! Wonder how Debbie is doing on hers?? Inquiring minds and all that.

I loved this chicken.  What an incredible design.
Nature is so full of art.  I'll bet someone made a piece of fabric like this.





And that was the county fair.  Ken's BS level was fairly low (:) :)).....................................BP and his cholesterol were also good.  The new and additional meds are kicking in nicely.  His shoulder is numb.........which is WAY batter than hurting. And the happy pills are making him "happy"!!  Even with a couple of calls and texts this morning that sent MY BP through the roof wanting to find a hitman;  he just chuckled us through it.   Enough of this claptrap.....on to one of the best parts of the day.....................Carmen's Kitchen.   Green chile smothered burritos; breakfast burritos and tostados (green chile sauce on the side).  Carmen's has been open just over a year.  Ken fell in love with her green chile sauce last year.  We go there so often she just starts cooking our when she sees us come in.  Her kids encourage her to add Rellanos to her menu.  Ken agreed and took her some Asadero Cheese to put in them.  We appreciate the cleanliness of the little place.  It  has 5 tables inside  and 4 outside under umbrellas.  

We came back home and us women gathered our beads and headed to the CH.  Kara is now a dedicated beader after showing her another spiral rope pattern.  She's on a role creating 1 and beginning another today.

Tonight we all went to the Legion to try out the new to us menu - popcorn shrimp, soup, wings in addition to hamburgers and salad.  Not bad!!  I had a cup of soup which was very good.
And so ends another day in Retired Land!
