October 15th, 2005small town life
There was a tractor parade. I think it was sponsored by John Deere, lol.
My mom kept smacking my dad and I because he kept looking at me and then pointing, “Look.. I think, I think it’s another John Deere.” We were laughing hysterically.
The tiny new coffee shop (oh please) tried to kill me with my double espresso. It was so indescribably bad.
There were booths set up selling very odd things, including toe socks… (thought of you, Harley), Maryland crab cakes (I tried a bite and almost gagged), flea market-type things and pulled pork sandwiches…
I have pictures. And you will die.
Once we get back from dinner, I’ll upload them. 🙂
Hel-looo, darl’, you see toe socks and think of Harley??? What, I smell of gas?
OK, I’m kidding, but only just. 😉

Well I thought of you too, Anne. 🙂
Wendy… see, yeah… But Maryland is the next state over so I just assumed—erroneously I might add—that they would be good. So sad.
