I received a note today on FB asking if I was going to blog anymore. To tell the truth I had nearly forgotten about my blog. I always say that I will try to blog more often but get busy and just don't get around to it. All I can say is I will try harder so that my three fans won't be disappointed.
I think that part of the reason I don't blog daily is because of my negative thoughts. Just because I am bummed does not mean I have to bring others down too. This will take some work as far as writing something interesting and not being a Debbi downer. I Think I Can, I Think I Can.
This coming week is Fair week in our county. I am a fairly good baker and often enter a cake, pie or cookies. The drawback here is that it has been 90°+ for the last few days and it will be for the next few days. I do not have the luxury of central air at my house. I do have "area", code for window, air conditioners, but I find it is so counter productive to turn on an oven and a window unit at the same time. The fact that I am estrogen challenged, I sweat reading the paper in front of the fan. Entering anything in the county fair this year will be for others to enjoy, not me. After all I should give others a chance at winning a ribbon too. LOL.
It will also be very sad at the Fair this year as well. I will go into that maybe later or tomorrow.
Now my spouse on the other hand loves the heat. He will be at the fair demonstrating all things Blacksmith related, but not horseshoeing. For you layman out there this means standing in a 10 X 12 building with a low ceiling and a coal fire in a forge. Hammering and pounding on red hot steel to form it into something usefull. No thank you, I'll have no part of that. Oh I have hammered hot steel myself a time or two but that was a loooong time ago, before the asthma and lack of tolerance to heat. His demonstrations draw little kids and older gents to watch and shoot the breeze for a while. All in all he has a great time doing it. He has a couple of former students that come and help out during the week. Nice young men give their time so an old craft will not be forgotten. Both are students at Purdue, Lafayette.
So now I have written a little something and feel better for it. I am not going to make another promise I may not keep but I will say that I'll try to get back here more often.
So for now, take it a day at a time.
Thanks Ruthanne. I always enjoy reading both you and Jeff's blogs. We will be going to the fair and hopefully will see Jeff. Last year Craig welded me a small leaf-did a good job too. I know it will be hot there but I guess that's just part of the summer fair times. Thanks again and maybe we will see you there.
