I was petting the prettiest cow, (poor thing had a snooty nose but so enjoyed being petted) was having such a good time with this sweet creature and then it blew a sneeze very wet and snot was all over me,
my blouse, my hair, my face, my glasses snot, snot, snot. Daughter and boyfriend of course thought it was very funny. I had to find water and napkins, the snot was just everywhere. It was so funny really it was.
Had hubby been there he would have wanted to Lysol me down but for me it was just funny and a bit sticky.
Yikers! What was this cow doing at the fair with a snotty nose? Poor dear!

The DeKalb County Fair is not next weekend but the following weekend. My mom loooooves horses. They have a terrific building (well, two actually) with homemade cakes, pies, cookies, jellies, jams, bread ... flower arrangements, fruits and vegetables from people's gardens ... quilts, needlepointed and embroidered work, hand-made clothing and other items. I can't cook or bake, but I love to see these things. Somewhere there's a thread with pictures I took of the bunnies there last year, they were sooooooo darling! So I'm sure we will go unless the weather is really horrid. We'll have a funnel cake or a lemon shake-up, too - it's about an hour, hour and a half west of Chicago.

And I love, Love, LOVE the Wisconsin State Fair. All of the above only on an even bigger scale, plus cream puffs made completely from scratch, the puff pastry and the whipped cream - yummo! I wait all year for one of those! And they have a food court with selections from some of Milwaukee and Madison's best known restaurants, which is fun because you can have a little of this and that.
