My Hard Opinion is you cannot call yourself a patriot if you don’t go to your local fair and nod approvingly at everyone’s beautiful quilts, lovely pies and amazing gourds

Aunt B's home made pickled cucumbers taste like kerosene. Andy Griffith show episode. She thought they were great. Fair judges, not so much.

Yeah I did, it was great

A winning quilt from the Colorado State Fair hangs on display. It has a black ground with speckles, with colorful cubes pieced around it. Some cubes have tiny kittens sewn on.
