Mini Letters...
Dear Mother Nature,
Thank you for bringing autumn back. I was in fear that there would be no autumn and we would simply go from summer to winter. Autumn is my favorite time of year, so I greatly appreciate your assistance today.
With Love,
ME
Dear Self,
In the future do not attempt to do a Mcgyver job of hemming your pants just moments before you must wear them, not start, you will be late for work. Also, buy a new pair of black dress shoes, these ones are killing your feet.
All The Best,
ME
Dear Columbus Drivers,
I understand that in the city is is rare that you must deal with a four way stop, however, when the lights go out, you must treat them as a four way stop. If you have forgotten how a four way stop works, then you need to park your car and review your driver permit book again.
Sincerely,
ME
Dear Ms. T,
Thank you for being you. Thanks for the tickets the other day, they were greatly appreciate!
You ROCK!
ME
Dear Readers,
I caught a bit of a cold over the weekend and I'm not quite in a groove yet with my new job and getting ready for art shows and such. I'm a slacker and as has happened in the past, the blogging is the one to suffer. If you are still checking to see if new posts are here, you really are the best!
Have a grand day!

Misc...
In more fun news I went to my first Blue Jackets game this week. I didn't understand all the rules, but it was fun, esp since they won in an overtime shoot out.
It's Friday! Do a dance and enjoy your weekend!

The Fair...
Going through photos this evening I found many forgotten photos. So, sad, they must be shared. In August, I visited the Iowa State Fair. Why you ask, well, good question, I have no good answer. I mean yes, there are tons of fairs here in Ohio.
Buy the t-shirt, no silly, just take a picture of it, to confirm you really were at the Iowa State Fair.
There were a ton of people there, even though it was crazy hot.
Good thing about the Iowa State Fair, one can have a pint of beer with their chips. Notice scary blue finger nail polish. It just added to the fun fair experience.
When beer does not cool one off a nice popsicle is highly recommended.
And that kids is a short trip to the fair. It's Tuesday, I think...still over loaded with new information.

New Residents...
The mill has a couple of new residents. After a morning of nothing but non-stop bagging of corn for deer hunters, I took a moment to snap a photo of the two new residents at the mill.
Throughout the years different cats have lived at the mill. Maggie was actually a kitten from Molly the original mill cat. These two showed up a few weeks ago. They are just getting to the point where you can pet them, only if you have treats for them though. They will have to catch mice to earn their keep. They are just kittens right now, but soon, they will have to start meeting their quota weekly. That or learn to bag corn, good grief those Jersey boys buy a ton of corn, well really almost two ton of corn every weekend.
This young lady is very curious and will play with a string for a bit perks up at the first sound of the treat container.
This young man is a bit more cautious. He will come out for treats if you step away, but sits back and will just watch the other kitten play with the string.
My brain is fried from tons of new information from the new job, so kittens are calming. Happy Monday!

Trip Across the Border...
Quick trip to Calabash, N.C. today crossed over from S.C., really far trip, all of 10 minutes. Took a boat ride out into the ocean. Saw a few dolpin, watched a shrimp boat pull in their bounty, and saw a couple of sting ray up close. Who knew a two hour tour could zap all of your energy.

SC...
My week has been filled with surf, sand, pools, a lovely lazy river, margaritas, sangria, tilapia, red snapper, sea scallops, crab, shrimp, sunscreen, many towels, wine, and shopping. Ok, little shopping, but today was a shopping day. I did buy this great t-shirt. Gotta love it. The SC Gamecocks. I know it's a bit childish, a bit "Wayne's World-ish", but the Gamecocks are just fun to say.
Go Gamecocks!

Argh...
Sitting at the laundry mat. Why you ask, well my cat had to take a car ride this morning and she decided my Mom's lap was a good location to pee. So, I'm here trying to correct Maggie's wrong. Too bad my parents store doesn't have a washing machine!
I hope your Friday starts and ends a bit better than mine.

If It's Wednesday...
It's trivia day!
In hockey, the penalty box is often referred to as the sin bin.
The fairy tales Puss in Boots, Little Red Ridinghood, Cinderella, were first written down by Charles Perrault, who also helped design part of the Louvre.
It is estimated that a single toad may catch and eat as many as 10,000 insects in one summer.
There are 119 grooves on the edge of a quarter.
The term hung jury, a jury that cannot agree on a verdict, was started in the 1840's.
About 2 billion tons of animal manure are produced in the U.S. every year. France, Holland and Belgium have been classified by the European Community as "manure surplus" regions because they produce more than their land can absorb.
The condensed water vapor trail left behind by jets is called a contrail.
The chameleon has a tongue that is 1.5 times the length of its body.
The Netherlands is the lowest country in the world. It is estimated that 40 percent of the land is below sea level.
Now you know!

Lists...
I have found I like making lists. To Do lists are great, I love being able to check items off as they are accomplished. It makes me feel a small sense of moving forward. Often lists can be helpful. Pro/Con lists can help when making a difficult decision. I don't always stick to my lists, but that's ok too.
I liked my year of 34 list, although I kinda lost track of it. I think I'll continue the idea for the year of 35.
Thing I've never done before in this my 35th year.
1. Got a pedicure. I know can you believe it, 35 and never had a pedicure, but it's true. I got one over the weekend. It was great. I was a bit nervous, ok a lot nervous because I have very sensitive feet to the point of pain sometimes, but it went well and my toes are so darn cute. I went with a bright pink, I figure in a couple of weeks, if it lasts that long, I will not loose my toes in the sand.
2. Got a full body massage. Dear goodness it was awesome! Charles Penzone Salon, you lived up to your reputation and I thank you kindly for it. I will try to work more massages into my budget, so worth it.
That's it for now, but those were two great ones, right.

Fair-ly Fun...
The Ohio State Fair is currently in full swing, I recommend if you haven't been in a few years, go, enjoy. If nothing else it's great people watching.
There are pigs...not that I don't see enough of them myself, but if you haven't seen a pig in a while, the hog barn does have a fun gift shop with all things pig.
Jim from NBC 4 says the weather is all good in Columbus, even in his scarecrow form.

I don't know if NBC 4 will be doing the news from the fair when you are there, but if they are you can see just want talking heads they really are.
I'm telling you the people watching is grand, this I just can't even explain. I just look about in wonder.
