I went to the Country Fair for the first time last Sunday and ironically, there was record rainfall that day. I bought tickets the previous Tuesday, because that was the only day I would be able to go, and as I was white-knuckles driving out there with my windshield wipers on the fastest setting I was thinking to myself, 3rd time's the charm.... really? Because I had attempted to go to the OCF twice in the past 17 years that I've lived in Eugene, the first attempt was when we didn't have the cash on us (back in the day) and the other time I tried it was sold out. I am willing to give it another shot next year, but trudging through the mud got really old, really fast especially since there seemed to be just as many people as there might have been during the good weather. I don't know how, but we made it to the main stage and back without getting more than a few mud splashes on our skirts.

Summaaaaahhhhhrrrr-time-time-time
(in the style of Janis Joplin...) Summer feels like it's slipping through my fingers! Here we are, officially in the middle of July and everyone's talking about how hot it is, and how it's supposed to get into the 90's, etc etc. and I've gone swimming twice. Somehow the worthiness is of my summers is directly related to the amount of times I've gone swimming. Silly me! Lucky for me my dear sister is officially in town for five whole weeks and we're definitely gonna go swimming when she gets back from visiting her Portland peeps.
