Sept. 18-20,2009 Carol, Jean, and I went to Columbus, Ohio to the Country Living Fair. When I told my friend Gret that I was going , she just said "You" "Really" As most of you know I am not the art and decorator type, but I had a great time. Some of the booths were not my thing but most of them I really enjoyed. I did find a few goodies, some Christmas presents and gifts for co-workers who are seeing my patients for me while I am vacationing. This first picture is actually at a restaurant we found about 1/4 mile from our hotel ( ok , close enough to walk but we still drove, had enough walking at the fair.) It is called the Columbus Fish Market- It was awesome. We worked on the manager to try to get him to open one up in Holland. Carol even smoozed a rose out of him.
They had this wonderful Carrot Cake, about 5 # of it in one piece. I just had to go off my diet and try it.

At the hotel , I was showing off my sacrifice for the coed softball team the night before. I took a softball in my ribs, thrown from one of the guys at shortstop as I was running to first base, obviously the girl at first did not catch it and it hit me instead. Some family gathering we will have to tell you the story of how Carol taught us, "How to get the most out of your hotel stay, literally "

They had the fair at the Ohio Historical museum area, it was really cool. At the female seminary they taught us how to give a proper tea party.Well sorry I have not blogged for awhile. I have been really busy with work , 10-12 hour days, and the thought of going on the computer any longer was enough to push even this psych nurse over the edge. Talk to you all again soon after my next trip tomorrow "The Cruise" In about 1 hour I am headed to Tampa to hop on the Inspiration. See you all again when I am rested. I decided not to sleep as I had to work at the office from about 6 pm-11 pm. before I head out.
It was a great time at the Country Living Fair - sure enjoyed getting away with Rachel and Carol! Yes, there are more stories to tell, but suffice to say that Carol knows what to do when towels are not satisfactorily delivered to your room on time- warm chocolate chip cookies anyone?
