County Fair Season

We've been stuck in "work-mode" most of the summer. Consequently, we haven't done a lot of traveling and visiting - but there has been time for some. Had we been back "home" in Washington, we would have been involved in the county fair there. County Fairs have been a part of our life for many years, and fairs are something that one does during fair season if you are at all interested.

We managed one visit to Rochester MN to visit with Dave's daughters, Amy and Lyn. Adults, LtoR: Dave, Brian Swancutt, Amy Winkler Swancutt, Lyn Winkler Everly, Joe Everly, grandkids Brady Swancutt, Brian Swancutt, Noah Everly. The Everly's live near San Francisco CA.

The summer seems to be winding down. Today is a rainy day, which allows some time to get a blog posted without feeling guilty. Whatever summer weather we had is probably history as there is already a feeling of autumn in the air.
