David's Birthday Trip

David's birthday was Oct. 10th. They had to work on the house remodel that day, but the next day we drove to the Chesapeake side of Maryland to St. Michaels. We took a 90 min. ride on boat up the Miles River looking at the houses of the rich and famous. The town was all decked out for fall and the weather could not have been more perfect. We drove up to Chestertown to spend the night and toured that area the next day before heading home. A very nice weekend.

New pets at Cheryl's house

Faith got a couple or rats---as if they needed more pets at that house. They started with one but Cheryl felt it needed company and so now there are two. Both are males---so there should not be anymore.

Waterford Fair---Virginia

Well, Cheryl and I enjoyed the fair last year so much we wanted to make it an annual event. So, last Friday we went back again. This time we knew what to expect and so we planned our day a little better. The home tours are great, but because the homes are so small they only let about 8-12 people in at a time and it takes up most of your day just seeing the homes. We got in line for the homes first thing---plus we planned our arrival for the starting time of 10 am. We still only toured four of the five homes open that day.

The craftsmen that have exhibits are extremely high quality. Neither of us could afford most of the items, but just looking at them was fun. The woodcarver above had items that started in the hundreds of dollars up to the many thousands for Noah's Ark with animals.

After seeing a lot of homes over two years, we decided that next year we will use the time to enjoy more of the vendors and exhibits. You really need two days to see everything thoroughly, but there are no two day tickets and it is $15 per person per day to get in. We will just do it in stages.
