I was looking back on the State Fair photos I posted and realized I forgot two of my “stories”
“Great minds think alike” Ok, well that is a stretch, but…ahem. As you can imagine, there are multiple huge parking lots, with hundreds upon hundreds of cars surrounding the fairgrounds. I managed to get a place that was about as close as humanly possible to an entrance. I am delighted. We meet up with mom, who arrived about 8 hours before we did so she could look around before meeting us. After the festivities, we are going to walk her to her car before finding ours. She was in Grandma’s (her mom’s) car instead of their car because she had run a bunch of errands for her mom that day. Would you believe that we parked NEXT to her. Her car is in the background of some of our photos (not the ones I posted) and we had no idea that was the car she came in. lol.
“Chickens” Went to the poultry building. Zane and Zora were both getting a kick out of seeing the birds that close up. We turned a corner and I asked Zane “what is that?”, expecting, at most, a “chicken”. Instead, his eyes got really big as he stared, up and down, scanning the chicken (probably as tall as his chest), and exclaimed “that is a biiIIIiigg chicken”. I wish the inflection in his voice could be translated easily to print, because it was so funny and cute. And…it was 4-5 word sentence using a descriptor, a recent language development, and this was the first time we heard it used spontaneously. yeah Zane! so cute too.
how sweet about the chicken, glad to hear Zane is doing so well!
What made your ‘chicken’ story even more funny, is that the first chickens we were looking at were ‘Bantum’, or miniture chickens. They are about 6″-8″ at full maturity. Then to round the corner and see a rooster that is sooo big, especially from their vantage point. It was so funny. It makes me smile to think of it. Your Granny liked that story too.
Thanks for letting me share your day. I had so much fun!

That’s great! I love hearing about Zane’s progress. I’m cheering him on from afar!
I’m really glad you enjoy my blog! I write for my own self-amusement and preservation, sometimes, so it’s nice that other people get a kick out of it, too.
