Amish Acres Craft Fair

Mom and I went to Nappanee to the big craft fair. Saw the plant where they make FexEx delivery trucks in Wakarusa on the way. Only saw one horse and buggy. It was overcast and ended up being very hot. We thought the overnight rain would cool things off, make it all a bit damp. Wrong. It was pretty brutal. Anyway I'm more used to art fairs where people know where the hell they are going and get the hell out of everyone's way. My way. Well, this was not an art fair, it was a craft fair. Very good crafts, very skilled and high quality. But the difference is that it's usually ladies who don't know where they hell they are going, stop right in front of me, and just freaking stand there while the rest their party bumble along aimlessly. I was just there five minutes and I knew it was going to be a long day. I could feel the part in my hair start to sear. Mom kept up pretty good, and we watched each other to make sure the heat didn't get to us. We pretty much cruised through and got the heck out of there. Too bad too, there was so much nice stuff, but it was just too hot. I like the Chapel Hill Craft Show at the fairgrounds. It's nice and cool by then, and it's proximity to Christmas is a lot more enjoyable. You don't mind trying on fleece hats in October. Anyway, I think the lamest thing I saw at Amish Acres today was personalized bulletin boards - ceiling tiles with kid's names painted on it. There was also a lot of yard and pool signs with Jimmy Buffett sayings. I swear if I see another "It's five-o-clock somewhere" sign, I'm going to cry.
