          Now today is going to be a wonderful day. I can just feel it in my bones. And it was. After the rain we had yesterday afternoon and last night we has lotsa puddles. But now looks like all will be good for a while.

a few rain puddles but will soon be gone

     Got a few nice walkabouts this morning then we headed on down to the Big Tent at 8:20 to beat the traffic. And we did that quite well. No problems and parked close to where we wanted to be.

close to the tent

       It all opened at 9 am and we were in line to get through first thing and then outta there. Checked out a couple Trailers and really like the new steps that they had for their trailers. Set out and secure on the ground what a great concept !

like the new stairs

     We headed on in and the crowds not too bad as we made progress they became more, we are used to this. This is our first day here and just an overview, we will be back again before the week is done when the crowds go away.

not to busy right now

        Now lots of stuff to see most we passed over. but always interesting . Pretty well the same every year with a few changes here and there.

          Now we know from the past, line up for the Minute Rice booth ( only a few minutes), spin the wheel and get a gift and some free Rice. We like free! So we got our rice and wandered about some more checked to the whole tent stuff. We know that when the rice samples are done in a day or 2 they are done for the rest of the show. So Gotta get here early.

we got a years supply here today
and all free

           We ran into a few friends here and there said hi in the crowds and carried on.

cool hot dog flippers
 another gimmick 

      Then outside to check out these vendors. The sunshine was wonderful!

     You want food ? Lots of options but we have no need, food at home.

Wok this way

 this is a cool vendor 

great smoked Turkey legs  here, 
we have had  these in the past

smoked 1/2 chicken smells awesome

ice cream , too early

         Passed by this stroller with a couple bulldogs enjoying the ride, they were exercised out for the day.

too cute

      We had enough by 11:30 so headed back on home, Sure glad we went early the lineup heading north was over 1/2 a mile, glad we heading south now away from the crowds.

line heading north to the show

     Back home we enjoyed a nice light lunch then I took another walkabout a mile or so. Lots of large groups gather here, (not for us). Then home to relax in the sun and get some real nice quality reading time in. Now this is the life, peaceful quiet and enjoying a good book.

     Then at 3 pm the weather is good enough that we can enjoy a Happy Hour at Bill at Patsy's today.  Share our stories and what we did today for a bit then as it cools down time for us all to head on home and whip up supper. Now when we have our Happy hour, wherever  it is, feel free to join us. just bring a chair and your beverage, we not shy.

 a nice catch up time with our days adventures

Clemson is entertaining us
time for his supper

       But time for our supper as well. Tonight I grilled a pork steak (that we split) added to our salad and sure was very tasty.

yummy?yes

      What can I say? Just another great desert day now that the sunshine came back again and looks like it will be here for a while.
        Glad that y'all dropped by for a visit.

When we back to Canada
