Did You Know...

Up and Away
The name of the popular beverage "7-Up" came from teh fact that, when it was originally produced, it came in seven-ounce containers. The "up" describes the direction the carbonated bubbles went in upon opening a can.

New Dinosaur

Looking For Prizes

I appreciate the guest post, Ricky Mcguire

I love going to a county fair and seeing everything that the people of my county have to offer each other. Contests are my favorite part of any fair, with cooking contests ranking first. It's always a pleasure to get to sample the fine treats made for us by hometown folks that care about one another. My kids love to sample treats and get to know other kids at the fair, as well as pet all the animals while we're there. It's not everyday you get to see some of the finest pigs in the land, all of them able to be patted on the head as you pass by.

There are usually lots of horses at our fair too. We love to admire these beauties from afar. We're always very happy to help out with the organization of the fair in any way possible and to help with cleanup or anything else the town needs. After the fair, we retire to our homes where we watch Direct TV and enjoy another of life's great gifts.

Over the next few years, we plan to continue going to county fairs from all counties and appreciating the local cultures that we're blessed with. It's nice to know that small town America still exists and plans to keep existing for a very long time. That's our good fortune.

Painting The Nursery Room

We have to decide now and we need to do it fast. My due date is getting close. The nursery room needs to be painted.

My honey and I went to Home Depot today to get the paint that I chose from the Glidden booklet. I decided to pick the shade of green called Minty Shake. My nursery room decor is mostly pink and the baby bedding set has pink and green prints.

When everything we need was picked out from the store, we headed home. My honey started painting while I was having my power nap (smiles). When I woke up, he's in the process of coating the wall. I bet the nursery room will look very pretty.
