Did you ever win a stuffed animal at a county fair?
County fairs are such fun, something both Ellen and Pam grew up with. They can be sensory overload for some with the rides, games, fair food, exhibits, tractor pulling, lots of noises, lights and smells. Some of our favorites are the Ferris wheel, fried dough and just people watching on the midway, but todays questions is – have you ever won a stuffed animal at one of these fairs?

Do you tan or burn?
The summer sun can be strong and unforgiving. When you get caught in it with no sunscreen – do you tan or burn? Being a fair skinned redhead, my answer to this is simple and short – BURN – BURN – BURN PEEL AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN As a child, and with fair skin, I was often found during the summer, laying on the couch with tea bags all over my sunburn, or aloe spread on the worst parts. In my teens, the ‘norm’ was to bask in the sun with baby oil slathered all over. Needless to say, that wasn’t a good alternative for me! Funny enough,…

Celebrating October!
Sometimes life throws you a curveball. October threw us a month filled with THINGS. Ever have a month where you were so busy living that you lost track of all time?

The last time we saw him was in June at his high school graduation. He came up to see Pam’s seasonal getaway for the first time and to…
