I made an apple pie using up all the New Hampshire apples…. YUM. Dennis made a pumpkin pie. It was wonderful too. Now we are plump(er). Yesterday we spent the whole day at "The Big E" the Fair! We dropped the van off at a garage friend of Dennis’s on the way to the Fair in West Springfield, Mass. Since it is a New England Fair they have buildings that each state in New England has their stuff in. Oh my gosh the smells of the foods and candies that each state makes made me hungry so… we went to a lovely restaurant called Storrowton… "Real American Food." Chuck and I bought chairs for the porch in the Keys and a giant flag pole for the Keys with an American flag and a Navy flag. I guess the Fair guys could see us coming with our credit cards! There were crafts and lots of "October Fest beers." (I drank and liked Sam Adams pumpkin ale).  There was a long parade in the afternoon with 2 teams of Clydesdales and tiny ponies. During the parade, the garage guy called and he said he looked the van all over, checked fluids and bands etc and didn’t find anything wrong. The van just didn’t want to accelerate on a hill to pass a car. The van is polite… and she got cranky. This morning the boys will pick up the van and we will go someplace fun. OK. Cousins and Chuck are moving around so I need another cuppa Joe and need to finish getting ready to go out into Connecticut. God bless you!
