I got to play yesterday...

Oh joy  to play with my boat yesterday!  After a rough start, had to figure out how to start the motor.   No instruction book!  We buzzed around Muskrat Lake and did a bit of fishing.  The lake is only 14 miles from home.  The fish were not cooperative...did get nibbled on, but caught nothing.

A bad of fishing is better then a good day doing housework any time!

Now I have to get my stuff together and loaded in the horse trailer.  Today is move in day at the Shiawassee Fair.  Daniella's goats get checked in today.  Her still projects went in yesterday.  I will be setting up the camper after all the animals are settled in.  Tonights my first night in the camper at the fair.  Tomorrow morning is Daniella's first day of showing.

If you don't have anything exciting to do this week why don't you take a day and come to support the 4H and FFA kids at fair.

If you live in Shiawassee county, please vote yes to fund the MSU Extension in Shiawassee county.  The Extension offers other worthwhile programs besides the 4H program.

Dick Campbell, Argus Press Chairman, August 3, 2012.

"In the case of the MSU Extension (4-H) proposal, a “yes” vote ensures continuation of a long-standing, highly  effective youth program which is part and parcel of Shiawassee farm life and of the Shiawassee County Fair. Without it, MSU Extension in the county disappears and with it nutrition programs for young and old. Further, without MSU Extension, say goodbye to the county’s “Greatest Show On Earth,” the Shiawassee County Fair, as we know it."

Will have more to blog about after I get back from Fair, see you all in a week.

Onward and Upwards!
