Strawberries!!

We went to the Annual Poteet Strawberry festival today. And I stocked up on fresh handmade jam and preserves. Mic had a blast riding all the rides he could get on to. He even rode a rollercoaster that was probably too much for me...of course THAT isn't saying much. But I am sure Grandma Lynn would be proud.

I saw a ride, that made me sick just looking at it. Hmm, how to describe it. It was a giant stick with a ball of seats (unenclosed) on each end with a spoke in the middle of the stick....and it spun around -- with each end momentarily motionless and it swung back around...and this stick was huge...it was hundreds of feet off the ground. I don't understand people that actually want to ride this terrifying object.

We also stopped by the new HEB Plus...we bought some new cds (we haven't bought cds for ourselves in years I think) and Thomas trains for Lorelei for her easter basket. I finally got my hands on Memoirs of a Geisha. Really good---it captured the book perfectly.

Funny thing about the kids...they wouldn't touch the strawberries as I was munching (oh so juicy) on them on our way out--or in the car...although Lorelei managed to squish one all over her head. And Mic just wanted to hold his strawberry while declaring it YUCKY every five seconds. Now hours later...they are devouring the remaining pint.
