Oh, please I don’t need any additional pounds!!! Looking for someone I can share this body with- it’s almost enough for two! I’ve been very quiet today!! Lost my voice and can’t find it anyplace! I was a wee bit hoarse Friday night and by Sunday talking was an effort. I’ve been silent ever since!! I’m NEVER silent! I had to call the phone company today and wound up speaking to three different gals they were so nice!! They didn’t want me talking at all so they were standing on their heads to make sure I only had to answer yes or no. I probably should write a note to the phone company thanking them for their thoughtfulness. Funny thing I was asked to work yesterday for a little while in the afternoon. Lots of kids and no voice. I walked in just as they were coming in for lunch. I finally gave up and clapped my hands until they were all quiet. Then in my whisper I explained I’d lost my voice so they had to be quiet so they could hear me. They stayed quiet the entire time! But the funny thing was if I asked them anything they always answered in a whisper. Kids – got to love them! Bev "J Rogow" <JRo…@Newsguy.com> wrote in message

Hi Bev, That was a great desciption of the fair. It made me wish I could have been there. What are Ruritans, pray tell? I have never heard of that. Bruce is shut down for now. Computer stuff, I think. JR is away. Cindy’s eyes are better, but other things are not so good. Rest up. Glad to see you back. BJ-Sk. "Beverley" <pottings…@sybercom.net> wrote in message

To save myself a whole lot of energy , which I do not have, I decided to write one general note. The fair is over and I’m dead tired. Lost my voice! Could be worse. Mostly I’m just tired. I was chauffeured all over the fair grounds via golf cart every time I needed to go any place. That was good. That meant my time in the sun was minimal and I did not have to exert too much extra energy walking around on uneven terrain (an old farm field). Actually the fair was wonderful. Everybody in my tent was terrific. They pitched in and helped me with all sorts of stuff including the paperwork. The tent was beautiful. The gal I was training was wonderful and she really worked hard to make sure it looked great. We had several other fair people from other localities visit and they all loved our tent including the Virginia State Fair people. Every comment and piece of feedback I received was positive. So I can honestly say, with much pride, it was a success. George came out Fri night and had a blast. They play oldies music that night on the main stage and he enjoyed himself. Of course the granddaughter rode every possible ride in the Midway and we all ate funnel cakes. I tend to eat from the Ruritans food booth because I can give them a nice donation check at the beginning of the fair and then eat what I need without "paying" for it. Keeps me from having to worry about keeping cash on me. That means lots of pork tenderloin sandwiches. Saturday morning the group from the main stage dragged out a big BBQ and served up a nice breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and croissants. (That was unexpected and quite nice.) Saturday evening is the Sponsor’s dinner. A very nice catered meal – which I inhaled because I had to be at the main stage with the Fair Queen and her court to present the Farm Excellence award. (So the Ruritans made out really well on me this year as I did not eat very much from them.) Saturday about 6 PM we got a downpour. It didn’t last long but it sent lots of people home and kept many from coming. Sunday we had sprinkles on and off which again kept attendance down. But despite all the rain I think we were only a few thousand off on attendance from last year. Mainly because we kicked butt when it wasn’t raining!! The National Guard handled the parking and they were wonderful!! No back ups of traffic on the street or anything. All these little things make a big difference. Because you know yourself there is nothing worse than going someplace and then getting caught in traffic forever. By the time you get there you are ready to go home due to frustration. The bull riding and tractor pull, mule pull stuff was so packed we will need additional bleachers next year. The 4H’ers have a ham curing contest and auction. They all got very good prices for the hams which means enough money for next year. I think the kids do two hams one to keep and one to auction. Usually the first two hams go for outrageous sums but that is because several people willingly bid outrageous sums as a donation to 4H. The rest go for more normal prices (about $50) but they are usually exceptionally good hams if you like that smokehouse dry Virginia ham. Too salty for my taste. And of course there were the goat and lamb shows by the 4H’ers. Always fun to watch but I didn’t get that chance this year. No chicken competition this year due to some avarian virus thingy so the state said "NO!" But the bunny rabbits in attendance made up for it. Then someone had a drawing for a young 4 month old horse. $1 a chance. Of course Deme had to buy a ticket – and thank goodness she did not win. But the young girl that won was so thrilled she started crying. The pygmy goat from the petting area got loose and no one could find him for a while – of course he was found near a trash can by the food court. Typical county fair stuff!! It was a wonderful fair and I’m so glad it is over. Every year it gets a little bigger. Every year there is more to do. But after this year I feel confident I will have even more help next year. I’ve got a few photos and I’ll try to get them up to Ofoto for everyone to go see. Wish I had had more time to slip away and take more photos and enjoy the fair. But my duties to the tent keep me in place most of the time. Deme entered a 10 photos and won about 7 ribbons including best in class – a big blue rosette ribbon. Now she wants to take her photos and camera into school so I set that up today for Wednesday. She’s so proud. Of course I got teased because she won more ribbons than I did. I only got 2 blue ribbons. She got 4 blue and the rosette. Yes, my night blooming cereus photo won a blue ribbon. But I only took in a few of my photos for competition. So now I’m tired, totally exhausted and it will take me days to catch up to everyone. So glad to see Trin back and so excited about her pregnancy! I miss our Rothnie!! Has anyone heard from him? Janers – just drop it into to your schedule to come to my fair next year in the new RV!! Ruth hurry up and get better!! None of this lounging around in bed all day. Maybe if you stopped kissing Paul you’d quit transferring the germs round. First him, now you!! Where’s JR this time? KCat send me where ever it is I need to go to fill out your form. How’s the eye sight now, Cindy? Love and hugs to all of you, Bev
