Living Room

Here is a quick pic of our no longer concrete living room floor. The pictures make the seams look a little funky, it looks really good in person.

A very close family friend was involved in a bad accident this past Monday. We don't know much other than she is still in critical condition. I figured it could only help to ask anyone who reads this to say a prayer for her or to keep her in your thoughts.

But you can't pick your......

Today Tony, Denise and I went apple picking. The weather was perfect for it an although, I am not a big apple eater, I was excited to go. The three of us split a little over a bushel of a few different types of apple, but who the hell knows what kind they are because there were no signs or labels there. While we went a bit late in the season, there were still tons of fruit on the trees and they still tasted great. In fact I can honestly say that I ate more apples today than I have eaten total in the last 2 years.

Playing Catch Up

I will be adding more wedding pictures soon, still waiting to get them all from our photographer. Will also post a bit about the wedding when I get them as well. It was all better than I could have ever thought up.
Last weekend Tony and I did the quintessential opening of fall activity and went to the Fryeburg Fair. It was a perfect autumn morning, cold enough for 2 blankets, pjs and sweatshirts in the morning and hot coffee consumed in front of the heater.
We checked out the sheep and the goats, llamas, mini donkeys, giant cows, alpacas, chickens, and bunnies as well as the fiber barn as well as the other vendor boths. All in all I woud have to say it was a bit of a let down this year. I left the fiber barn empty handed which stunk because i was really excited to pick up some new stuff. the chickens and bunnies were less than impressive, any of our critters would have taken the blue ribbons compared what was there. My favorite livestock section, the alpaca barn, was so overcrowded with people that i had to get out after spening only a couple minutes looking around. I was impressed by the size of some of the cows there. The pygmy goats were pretty awesome and I have to say I am growing a strange fondness for donkeys thanks to a blog I have been reading, On the Way to Critter Farm....
