Fall Festival 2012

We went to Keosauqua on Wednesday Oct 10th.  It was cool and we hovered around the fire,  You can see in the picture the black smoke from the fire .  Donnie was trying to get rid of some wood he couldn't burn in their furnace.  We were constantly moving to stay out of the smoke.   But it did keep us warm. Thursday we made a trip to Cantril to the Dutchman's store.  Doris Jean came on Thursday afternoon to play games.  We had ham and beans and cornbread Thursday night.


Friday we went to some garage sales.  Think we hit most of them  When we got back Dick was there.  We played some games inside till it warmed up to be outside,.  Friday night was lasagna night with salad and garlic bread.  I tried a new desert, an apple cake which was pretty good.

By the time Dan and Katlin got there and had eaten it was time to play some music. People had been asking all day if we were going to play.  They had only gotten started we it started to thunder and then before long sprinkle.  We hurried and put things away and headed to the campers.

Button and Bow were part of the listening audience. We had quite a crowd before the rain started.

It rained most of the night and most of the morning off and on.  We tried something new for breakfast Saturday morning.  Omelets in a bag.  Everyone could add whatever ingredients they wanted.  I did bacon, potatoes, ham and  cheese.  You mix them in a baggie and drop in boiling water and cook for ten minutes.   This is mine and it was good.  Will do that again for sure.  The girls went to the Roberts building to shop and the guys all went to Cantril. Gary came to go with them. Back to the campgrounds cause it was pouring again.  Connie and I had to leave early to get ready for our next trip to North Carolina the next morning.    Guess the rain came back but I think everyone had a good time anyway.
