Tijuana and The Fair

Ever since I returned home last week, my nights have been filled with dreams of still being at work on the field in Mexico. Every night has me in Mexico as I sleep. I know that it is my mind's way of decompressing every thing that has happened in my life during that week. It also tells me that evidently, Mexico is in my thoughts most of the time. My thoughts will always be with Tijuana and the orphanage, and I will be ready to go when God says the time is right. In the meantime, however, I will continue to serve God here in my area of the world, and do my best.

We are just a few weeks from the start of the State Fair. For those of you who know me well, you will know that I am a Fair nut! This blog site will continue to be your place for info that is fair-related. I will inform you of where you can get the cheapest soda, food, and other etc. I pretty much know where everything is. I have a season pass, but there will be a change from years past. I will not be eating as much at the fair as in years past, and that's for a couple of reasons. 1) I am saving as much as I can for the Tijuana fund, and 2) Due to being gone so much, doing camps and missions trips, etc, cash is very tight. I'm about a month behind in everything. If you want a review on some type of fair food, I'll have to refer to the archives in my memory to tell you how it is. It will be extremely hard to say no to the wonderful fried food that the fair is known for, but that's life.
I'm entering 4 types of goodies this year. Of course, the chocolate chips cookies will go back in, hoping to hold on to its title as first place. I'll also be entering snickerdoodles, oatmeal raisin, and peppernuts. We'll see if I can add a few more ribbons to the collection. In a related note, I sold some of my cookies at my yard sale yesterday, and the customers cleaned me out! They would buy a couple, then buy even more. It made me feel really good!  Anyway..... Keep your eyes open for my famous (or infamous) daily state fair report. Every evening, after coming back from the fair, I'll make a blog post containing what I did, what I saw, and if I see one of you at the fair, YOU might even make the blog! Over the next few weeks, I'll post some flashback pics from fairs past, some of my favorite moments, as we head toward the 2016 Kansas State fair. I will be heading up there tomorrow to turn in my cookie paperwork, and while I'm there, I'll see if there's anything to report.

Thanks so much for taking these few minutes to check out what's going on in my world. God bless!
