Life in a Small Town

Though we live in Hermiston, I adore Pendleton's Farmer's Market. So, with a few dollars cash in my wallet, I stopped by after work on Friday evening. 

 I picked up an eggplant and some ears of corn. 

Then Saturday, I attempted an eggplant parmigiana. I'll say it was 78% successful. 

I even let Eric out of his crib to try some. 

Really he was beginning to prime the crib we bought for $10 at a yard sale.
It's a hard job with all those spindles. 

*Not pictured: my first ever attempt at making cookies from scratch BY MY SELF. I made peanut butter cookies and I'll say they turned out 82% successful - thinking it was just the recipe. 

And pictures from the Umatilla County Fair that I forgot to share with you a couple of weeks ago. 

Just moments before this sheep encompassed my finger with its slimy nostril. 

New form of adult entertainment?

Lonestar!

Remember last year's night at the County Fair? Here's a refresher. 

We also both remarked on looking forward to taking a 7 month old babester to the county fair next year.

How goeth your weekend?

Worth a thousand words...

I haven't blogged in over a week! Shocking! Instead of telling you about my week, I'll give you some pictures.

Not pictured....lots of wrapping of presents. Daily trips to Wal-Mart. Lunch with the ladies. Finishing the book "Up in the Air" which I decided I didn't like. Winning the title of Shaker Box Champ for the second year in a row (Jeff wraps a present we can shake and if we guess what is in it, we win a gift card....this year it was 7 whistles for our emergency 72 hour kits). And lots of tormenting my siblings and mom. They love it.
