A busy week


Sada had fun playing in the sand while Chad and I picked Sweet Potatos
Last Thursday Chad took off since he had already work 36hours and we went to the fair in the morning. We have never been to the fair during the day. I forgot my camera, however Kipling will tell you he had such a wonderful time petting the Cows, holding the chicks, baby ducks and even a baby turkey. We got our annually free Lemonade as well as roasted corn oh soooo good. Sada and Kipling ate most of the corn. When you go to the State Fair and you like roasted corn you should go and support my friends at Rice's. We also watched the pig racing which seemed like they made it longer this year. They had the pot belly pigs, ducks, goats, another type of pig racing around a track and it is so amusing to watch, only in the SOUTH do we think this is amusing. We wanted to get some NCSU ice cream, but the line was so long and we had to get home, I had to watch the little boy next door(my little part time job).
That week we pick Sweet Potatos and let me tell you this was the hardest gleaning I had ever done. We have Sweet Potato fields behind our house and we had called and asked the lady it we could go and pick. Well one of the nights Chad got home late we went out and picked, and we had to dig to get some good ones. So, we decided to go again and we asked the granddaughter if we could and she told us we could and the next thing we knew MEAN OLE GRANDMA came and kicked us out. OH Well. Chad did go through the woods another day and got some good size Sweet Potatos so we got around GRANDMA

Let me know next year when you go pickin'..we found out too late that field behind our houses that IT is allowed to go right after the take what they want and leave the small ones behind. It will be fun to see the kiddos get them out of the ground
