Fried coke, quilts and arguing comments

So my good friend Sandi asked me last night on messenger if I was ever going to update my blog again. Seems she forgot I blogged just a few days ago....well Saturday....ok so it has been a few days. Sunday I went by and picked up Sandra and her daughter Ashley and we traveled the Odyssey like distance of approximately three miles from her house to my parents house for Sunday dinner. Both my brothers were visiting along with my nephew Sasha.....ooops forgot to get that picture I promised but I will try to remember again today. Anyway Ms Ashley had lots of fun playing with Sasha and she was such a nice lady.....her mom was so surprised at how she acted but then again I think she was threatened with no cell phone. This would be the best way to keep kids out of trouble......dont worry with jails .....go straight for the cell phones haha.

Sunday night I worked from 8 pm until 4:30 am. Got home and was in bed by 5ish with my alarm going off bright and early and 9 am....I was awake shortly before the alarm went off (my internal clock seems to be set a bit fast). Monday morning around 10:45 we set out for the STATE FAIR OF TEXAS. I was escorting four generations of my girlfriends family,(her, her daughter, her mom, and her grandmother for those of you who couldnt figure this out). It was her grandmothers first visit EVER to the state fair. (I think she is 76). Luckily (sarcasm here) we went on the busiest day yet for the fair with so many schools being out for the Columbus Day holiday. We had a great time. Ms Ashley and myself ventured off to the midway to see if we could revisit lunch via those spinning twisting rides they have. All I will say is those rides are ot made for someone my size and I soon realized why it is mainly kids riding them.....those little "nubs" that fit between your legs to hold you in place kinda hurt a grown man. Lets move on please haha.
We met back up with "the old folks" at the Budweiser stage on the side of the world famous Cotton Bowl. This was after we looked everywhere for them at the Bud LIGHT stage which was on the OTHER side of the Cotton Bowl. The big thing this year at the fair was fried coke. Every year there is something new in the way of deep fried goodness that one would never think of. This one should go back to the drawing board. Its basically coke soaked batter deep fried then covered with coca cola syrup and topped with whipped cream. It was pretty nasty in my opinion. Now where is my Dr Pepper cookbook.......
We had a great day and signed up for so many giveaways and free samples. To me the highlight of the day would be a tie between the hour or two Ashley and I spent on the midway and the stroll through the arts and crafts building with four ladies who all enjoy that type of stuff. I do too since both my grandmas and my mom were all quite good at quilting and no nto with a sewing machine.....hand quilting.
Ok Sandi I have blogged again.....when is my next one? Well It IS wednesday but I doubt there will be a HNT blog this week. As for the little "argument" that took place in the comments of a previous blog....Chelle...I AM going out with Sandra and JUST Sandra either tonight of Friday.I was laughing when I read all the comments...Maybe another venture into Indian Territory is coming up.
Hope everyone is doing well and I apologize for being lackadasical in my blogging duties....I know this is bothering soooooo many of you right? haha
Ciao
