Fall

Fall is my favorite season. I love the cooler weather and the how nature looks and the changes that take place. The trees are beautiful and this is great weather.
Not a whole lot has gone on since my last post. Tony came home from NY on Friday night. Sat. morning we had our engagement pictures taken at Smith Photography in Joplin. I will post them when we get them (that should be later this week). They turned out great (what we picked out). Sat. afternoon Tony had planned (without me knowledge) to go to the Tulsa fair with Brooke and George. He knew I had been wanting to "go away" and get away from things. He kept bringing up the Ferris Wheel (he said I was hopeless romantic and thought it would be nice to do). We left from Miami, OK around 3:15 and got to the fairground around 4:30 or so. However, being the next to last day it was PACKED. So packed that we drove through one of the parking lots for 45 min. and still no place to park. Tony.. didn't want to pay $5 to park across the street at the mall and walk. Oh, did I forget to mention I had to pee and had to do so since we were in Miami. It was now to the point I really really really had to go. Tony had the bright idea to try the other parking lot... yeah right. We sat in a traffic line for 30+ min and went about 1/2 a block if that. Finally, I got so aggravated that Brooke gave me $5 to go park in the mall parking lot. Thank you Brooke!! Nice to see who loves me more!!! We parked and walked quickly to find a b. room. What did we find?? Port-a- potties.. YUCK! I would rather pee outside and after going in the ones we used outside looked a whole lot better and more sanitary. Brooke absolutely LOVED the one she went in.

We walked around and looked at what all there was. We saw all the arts/crafts/vendors there. We watched the piggy races... how cute they were. I wanted to go to the rodeo and see Gary Allen, but it was sold out. We ate Indian Taco's for dinner... YUMMY!. I love Indian Fry bread as it is. Brooke and I had choco. frozen bananas for dessert. We got our pictures taken holding a tiger and then with some sea lions. The money paid for pics went to a good cause and who can resist a baby tiger.
Tony has decided we need a pet...a pocket pet nonetheless. There was a vendor set up with these little guys. It is a Sugar Glider. It's a marsupial that can glide 150 ft. They are very cute. I wish I had taken a pic. but they spend most of their time in the guy's pocket. Tony and I went into one of the tents that have weird objects. Here are some of what we saw.

The line for the Ferris wheel was waaaayyyy too long so we only got to ride the Air tram thing (1-way). It was pretty to the fairgrounds at night all lit up.



We ended up leaving around 10:00 for so I think. We had fun. There were some rides I wanted to go on but no one would got with me.. SISSY's..lol. Just kidding! It was okay. I was just glad to get away and go somewhere other than here. Thank you Tony for a day of FUN!

Today, we went on our field trip to the Corn Maze in SW. City. If any of you know where that is at you know the road there is not great. I got car sick on the way home with the AM class and puked at the school. I did better with the PM class. The rain held off which was a great blessing!!! However, I am now exhausted! I'm done now.

I'll post the engagement pics once I get them.
