The Apple Blossom Festival

Whew! What an EXHAUSTING weekend! But it was tons of fun. And sometimes a bit scary too! The weather was CRAZY! One minute we had sunshine and wonderfully warm weather, the next it was pouring rain, windy and downright COLD! My tent nearly blew away on more than one occassion until Brett figured out a way to secure our tent with weights.

I met sooo many wonderful people at the carnival and lots of friends stopped in to say, "Hi!" Which was a welcome treat!!! And of course many entered our drawing for a Portrait Session with 16x20 wall portrait.

The Grand Prize Winner is Mellissa Galloway from Williamson!!!! For those who entered - be sure to watch your mailbox for your opportunity to win a consolation prize. :)

Rather than my normal photos - I took several mini videos of the festival. So enjoy!!!!

PS I GOT A NEW LAPTOP!!!!!!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Yesterday was a CRAZY day! Since Brett has been away, I invited a friend to come spend the night... It was just like the sleep overs I had when I was a kid and we stayed up until the wee hours of the morning. So, I woke up extremely tired! Romeo had a terrible cough which meant yet another trip to the vet. At least this one is a little closer than the Veterinary Hospital that I have been taking Teena to! They prescribed something for both worms AND kennel cough as they are not quite sure which it is. Teena also has to take the deworming meds as they have been together. I need to check and see whether she has had a shot to protect her from the kennel cough. If not, then she will probably need an antibiotic too. Then we went over to pick up a photo that my friend had at the framing and matting shop. On the way home Jessi started complaining about her arm. I took a look at it and it was terribly red and swollen and hot to the touch. UGH! I called the Dr. and she said give her some Benadryl and some Advil and if it didn't improve to call for an appointment. Jessi complained more and more through the night so I called the on-call Dr who said it was most definitely infected and she should be seen immediately. So... we ended up in emergency. Double UGH!!! She has cellulitis (sp?) for the 3rd time in less than 2 years!! This time due to a bug bite. But thankfully we caught it quick enough and already the swelling has gone down considerably and she is feeling much better. Good enough even to go to gymnastics today. Course she would have gone even in pain as she loves it so much. So... that wrapped up my crazy day. Actually... since Brett's been gone it's been like that most days! I've been to the vets and back numerous times these past two weeks! And have just been on the go to here and there and everywhere! I'm not sleeping well either so I am one tired mama!! :)

Tonight was the kick-off for Williamson's Apple Blossom Festival. I'll leave you with some pictures from the kiddie parade...
