           What a wonderful day to celebrate Suzie's birthday. Sun is shining and nice warm temperatures. What's not to love about that? She is reaching a landmark another new decade in  her life and we are so much in love and enjoying this lifestyle.
           I let her sleep in and then by 9 am we off to the Pinery Fleamarket for a few things. We like to check this market out when we are in the area. Needed some pepperretes and one vendor then had found a stove top coffee perk that a friend of ours was looking for. A 9 cup Coleman blue one, brand new for ten bucks, it  was a good deal and exactly what he wanted great for dry camping.
            Love the market and not too busy early this morning. We were in and out in 30 minutes.

lots of good stuff here at the Market

     They also had yard sales going on too, just to add to more things to see.

 

Our Pepperette guy, extra hot for me

        On the way back stopped at Juicy Fruit Orchards to see whats in season and got some good deals as usual.

love the white corn

     Picked up 2 spaghetti squash, 1 Muskmelon and 6 cobs of fresh picked white corn for only $5.50 now that's a deal.

first crop honey crisp apples are amazing,

 

          Home by 11:30 a quick lunch ham and bean soup and fresh fruit then off to the Parkhill Fall Fair. 

yesterday's soup is so tasty

        Now this is Suzie's birthday and she suggested that we go to the Fall fair to see the demolition derby! Because I enjoy them. Wow what a woman! Back in the 90's we went to quite a few, mainly because I had painted 3 demo cars for friends and were advertising for my Restaurant "Jessie's Diner" Its been along time and was fun, brought back memories.

wind turbines every where around here

Transformers for the wind turbines

         Here we are at the fair. Headed right to the stands to get a good seat for the demo.

nice small town fair, not too busy

train rides for the kiddies

       In the stands with good seats on a nice warm day about 80 f not too hot.

water down the playing field so the cars don't go too fast

first heat small cars

broken Rad, steam

winner of the first heat, drove right off. amazing how they keep driving

woman driving this car but the firefighters put out the fire

         She got back in her car and fired it up came in second place.

this was the car on fire she drove away from the derby in second place

       Now after 3 pm we had enough fun, time to head back home, more back roads.

love this place Hungry Hollow

Now home to relax in the shade and get some reading done

      A nice Happy hour , just the 2 of us and some reading done, the time for me to whip up supper. Suzie's favorite, Fettucinni Alfredo with shrimp, fresh mushrooms, onions and garlic. To accompany a small salad, muskmelon , grapes and wine..

no fancy sauce today, this works

a couple minutes ready to add the sauce

Cheers , happy birthday Sweetie

 

 

of course lots leftovers

          Then to relax after supper ( I even did the dishes too !) and a couple of phone calls to wish her a happy birthday. She had many Facebook messages, a few texts and a few neighbors wish her happy birthday as well.
         I think she had a wonderful day, at least no complaints and she has been smiling all day long.
         Thanks for stopping by again and hope your day was awesome too.
