So much going on,,,,,,,,,

Whew,,,,lots going on here,,,,,,,makes me tired just thinking about it!!!! It has been Fair week here in Edmonson county and the Homemakers have a BIG part in it. It came to town a week ago Thursday,,,but we didn't participate until Monday night,,,that was the baby show and our club is "back stage organizers"...we help get them in line and tell then what to do on stage. It is a very LONG night,,,nothing hard,,,but several hours worth,,,and we get to play with all the babies! The proceeds from this is kept by the homemakers,,,our main fundraiser for the year. Then Tuesday, we clean up the exhibit barn to prepare for entries to the fair on Thursday. Not there for very long, just moved and cleaned a few tables, something that has to be done though. Then on Thursday,,,,fair entries,,,WOW,,,,,signing in all the entries,,,,our club was in charge of flowers and field crops,,,,we always have alot of these...judging was at 12:00, after that we could go home, which was a couple hours long. Then on Friday we come back to "barn set", each club takes their turn and watches over the barn (mainly for theft and vandalism) for 3 hours, and then the last day, Saturday,,,people come and check out their fair entries and pick up their prize money. This is a good thing for the county but makes for a very long and tiring week..Homemakers do alot but the big job is the Lions club,,,endless hours and the money they make is put back into the community, mainly with eye wear for underprivileged children. I won 2 blue ribbons,,,one for a quilt that I had made Hannah for her birthday, pink and white squares, and a pink rose specimen, that was just in the right stage for a judging.

Some big news that I haven't posted yet,,,Jonathan is engaged!!!! Last Saturday, Jonathan proposed to Tiffany Graham,,,the girl he has been dating for the last year and a half. How thrilled we all are,,,,,,they seem to be made for one another,,,,,further more,,,it seems that God is pleased as well,,,what a blessing to have her in our family. Right now they are planning a June wedding,,,that is plenty of time,,,but it will be here before we know it,,,,,(that means I will be needing a new dress too). Congratulations you two!!!!

Also,,,my toe is not doing well,,,,I believe the infection is back,,,,I go to the Dr on Tuesday and I fear the news,,,,,,,I also am in alot of pain,,,,maybe I have over done it this week (a big possibility don't you think?) my bones hurt all over,,,,especially fingers and toes,,,of course that could be the infection returning too,,,,I hear a staph infection is very hard to get rid of.....will let you know what she says on Tuesday.

Went to First Hardin's Homecoming today to be with cousin Jay and his family, had a sweet service with Bro Leland Childress preaching. (also a great meal) didn't get to stay very long,,,wasn't feeling the greatest,,,was in alot of pain, so I left early,,,sorry guys.......
