Congratulations Joey!

Sunday was a busy & lengthy 'Lord's Day'. I began my long distance walk 2.5 miles to our son's house for worship. The walk was purposeful in that, at the half-way point, a library book was returned. The weather was cool & breezy, a few joggers and bike riders were out, passing and waving. With my headphones on, while listening to classical music, I passed beautiful gardens, homes being restored, I turned left at our local 'Wild-cat' high school.
The road led to the fair-grounds, a scene out of a Country magazine: Palomino horses in barns, black-eyed susans, and an old red barn. I continued on toward Navy-housing and saw a large sign reading 'Antiques for sale', I hope to return with Andy to check it out. Finally got to Joe's for bible-class and worship. Met a new brother-in-Christ (Joe's age) a carpenter from Ohio, he joined us for brunch with the family.
Then Uncle Scott said,"I didn't know there was a fair in town?, lets go!" Everyone joined in the fun. We 'walked' back the 1/2 mile up the road to the fair-grounds. Davey led the way to the showcase display where Joey's award winning cookies were displayed. Yes, Congratulations Joey!, on winning second place with your chocolate-walnut and plain pastel cookies. Davey led me to see their neighbor John's display of a mallard duck. Davey loves mallard ducks, they're his favorite. We met up with Uncle Scott and Aunt Angie and the kids and continued on.
Uncle Scott won a large purple & yellow basketball for cousin Wesley, he also won a small dog for Jasmine. Courtney Anne, Joe and I walked through and viewed the art gallery, really nice submissions. Jasmine and Wesley got on the Carousel.
We all joined Aunt Angie and visited the Nature-Flower display; the kids were given butterflies to set free. Last, we got curly fries and water, after hugs & kisses, we 'walked' home. All in all, it was a beautiful day, thank you, Lord.

Enjoy: Country walks, Brunch with family & County fairs...

Remember: You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. Deut 28:6.
