Walmart and Diamonds

September 25th, 2008

Thought for the day….

As Mom was admiring my engagement ring in Walmart yesterday, I was reminded of what a friend told me once.  She said that right after her fiance proposed that she ran to Walmart because a diamond sparkles the most brilliantly under the lights in Walmart.  And for the record she was from Illinois, so this is not strictly a redneck observation.  :)

Try it….

Boom Days and the Fair

September 25th, 2008

The small town where my mom lives recently started having a celebration called Boom Days that commemerates a year in the late 1800′s when the town was a Boom Town.  We all went last week and looked at the booths and listened to some Bluegrass – Camden danced along.  Of all of the attractions though, the playground in the park was Cam’s favorite.

 

And then last night we all went to the Fall Fair. Camden had a lot of fun riding rides for the first time and seeing all of the animals. The flower and food exhibits held no interest to him after he was informed that he couldn’t pick the flowers or eat the food.  Below are some pics from both events.
