Fair Weather

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. — Romans 5:1

Yesterday Abby and I headed over the San Diego County Fair. It was a beautiful day, just a bit overcast so it wasn't too hot. 

The landscape entries were amazing.

Here's a sculpture that was really impressive.

The pig races were cute as ever, and the cattle exhibit was impressive but a bit smelly.
  
We tried a fried Twinkie and a cinnamon roll, listened to some music, and found the Hillsdale Middle School yearbook — a best in show winner filled with lots of photos of Kirk.

The photo of him and his colleague that was supposed to be "Best Historians" was mislabeled "Prettiest Eyes." Very funny.

We had a fun day just hanging out together and strolling around the fairgrounds.

We are blessed.

Off to the Fair

If you love me, keep my commands. — John 14:15

This afternoon, I'll leave work early so Abby and I can go to the San Diego County Fair together.

Here we are back in 2016 at the fair, when we ran into our friend Sandy and her daughter Ana at the Alice in Wonderland exhibit.

This year the theme is the Wizard of Oz. That should be a fun one, too.

We enjoy trying some of the food, looking at the woodworking and art exhibits, checking out the yearbooks, watching the pig races, giving our opinions on the landscape competition, and going on the Ferris wheel and the skyride across the fair.

Abby hopes to try a fried Twinkie in memory of her grandpa.

Sometimes they have some good bands playing during the day.

Whatever we do, it will be a fun afternoon just hanging out together.

Kirk will be golfing with one of his buddies.

We are blessed with special times together, doing things we enjoy.
