Mountain State Fair


     It's been an adventure today. Toddler and elderly woman with a scooter. As it turns out, you can go out and do things without your husband. He had to work so we traveled the two hours to have a day of fun. 

    Taylor is still too small to ride anything, so maybe next year she will have even more fun. Fair food is the best and I enjoyed every minute of it. I love roasted corn! There just isn't a way to ruin that for me. I spent some time looking through the Chevy products as well and I was VERY impressed. I want the next Equinox, but man she's out of my price range. They had a demo vehicle and I fell in absolute love. 

    The NC wildlife tent was Taylor's favorite! She was able to catch a trout and get her picture taken with Smokey the Bear. The rangers were beyond nice and allowed Taylor to take all their pens. Of course I brought them back when she wasn't looking. 
    
    I sampled sweet treats and had enough popcorn to build a house with. Taylor got to see and interact with all kinds of farm animals and we got to see a milking demonstration along with a live birth of a new calf. The only thing that could have made today better, would have been more accessible buildings. Mom's scooter was too wide to fit and we had to avoid those buildings. 

    I was also impressed with the number of food trucks present. Our food was way over priced and sadly it wasn't up to par, but I did enjoy some veggie nachos before we left. I-40 was a complete hot mess and traffic came to a standstill numerous times going and coming.

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
