So forgive me for failing on the whole idea of writing a blog a day. Obviously... that idea hasn't worked in my favor too well.
It has already been a week that has gone by and boy what a week it was! Where to start... where to start...
Kathrine's pageant took place last Wednesday at the annual Becker County Fair. It was a great time had by all. The family and friends loaded up in the truck to make our way to the pageant stage in support of our dear Kathrine. I knew it was going to be intense watching all the "hopefull queens" display their talents, evening gowns, and intellect in the onstage interview, but little did I know that I would find myself turning into quiet the pageant mother sitting in the bleachers. With each step, flag toss, and dance move I found myself watching her in admiration of her confidence and beauty. I couldn't contain my smile let alone my loud abrupt displays of applause. I was a proud "faux mother/sister/friend." She did an awesom job! I admire her so much!
After the pageant came to an end the only way to top off my evening was with a foot long corn dog. Yeah... you read right, a foot long corn dog! Needless to say I could only finish 5 inches! But it was just what the doctor ordered as far as getting my fair food fix.
The following day was spent at the ballpark. The muskies made the playoffs!!! My mom, Kathrine, and I made shirts in support of our favorite summer team and headed off to Perham. Unfortunatly, the Muskies fell short of victory... but we still had the taco bar to look forward to! After every game we head to the cactus (a bar/grill joint) in Perham that just happens to sponser the Muskies to share a cold one with the team and take part in their all you can eat taco bar for 3 bucks! But don't let that price fool you! They charge extra for the sour cream!
Friday and Saturday slipped away as fast as I could understand the concept that August 1st had arrived. WOW! The summer is almost coming to an end!
Last night the gals and I packed into the sub and headed for a small place to eat in the middle of nowhere, close to Dent, but still in the middle of nothing but a corn field! I had to go show them what the Pickle Factory was all about. It is a really great place to eat and the funny part of this place is that aside from the regular food menu they also have a menu of everything pickled. Litterally anything you can imagine.. they have pickled! Chicken hearts? Yep. Turkey gizzards? Yep! Pickled peaches? Eggs? Garlic? Carrots? YES YES YES YES! I had to order up a pickled egg (which I LOVE) for kathrine to try. Her face was priceless.
This morning was spent at the flea market. My favorite getaway. A quiet morning filled with great coffee, family, and unique things to take in. I couldn't imagine a better way to spend the morning!
Cheers to August!!!
