The Deals!

It is still early Mr. Sunshine is not up. (No, that is not a reference to Ken.) We took off yesterday and we got to the first craft show as it was opening. That is such a great feeling to know you haven't wasted anytime! We spent 2 1/2 hours at it. My sister was on a hunt for some pink ribbon hangy down (breast cancer awareness) earrings. It is always good to have a quest! So every jewelry booth we came across we checked it out. I am not certain but most of the booths she stopped at were glad she stopped. We found some cute ideas. I will have to get right on those when we get home. I picked up a few jewelry pieces here and there. Throw in a couple of Christmas presents, the have to get Kettle Corn (fresh and still hot in our bag yummy), and the roasted nuts and we had a full day. The next show was also outside and it was beginning to get warm when we finished up the corn dog and Indian Tacos for lunch. I was very happy that the next two shows were inside. I am not sure what it is, but I am feeling tired and worn out. Surely it isn't my age...the side effect of having chemo, that is what I am telling myself.
At school, I've been talking about the four seasons and how they need to watch the trees to see the leaves turn colors. Well, in Arkansas, the trees are gorgeous usually. We are a week earlier than usual for some reason so the trees aren't as colorful. But I have my camera out and if I see one I am trying to get it. I have the window down my head out the window trying to get a good shot and my sister yells from the backseat "Don't let your hair blow off!" Well, that stopped me and all of us had a good laugh. I never even thought about that possibility. Good to have my sister around to help me with those kinds of possibilities.
We finished the fourth craft show and I was feeling a bit worn out so we headed back to eat dinner. We have eaten at the same place since we started coming on this trip. First we enjoyed the spinach dip, then Janet and I had the best sweet potato fries with the best honey, butter, cinnamony dip to go with them, and chicken fingers to round it out. Oh it was so good!
Then we hit one last craft show, which is the one in our hotel. Eureka! We found the earrings! Janet can wear them each Tuesday at her hospital when they wear pink for breast cancer awareness. I found a purple jacket, but my size was popular.
I think it will be time to get going soon. We will drive to War Eagle and do the two big shows there and when we get done it will be time to drive to Tulsa to put my sister on her plane to TX. Then we will head for home. The yearly craft trip will be history.
