Sipping black coffee and playing with the cats. I'm skipping my walk this morning because I'm going on a multi-generational trip to the fair.

My sister and I are taking her son and his wife and their 2-year old daughter as well as our mother (age 90). Four generations, so we'll be that group with both a stroller and a wheelchair that everybody has to dodge on the midway.

Wish me luck!
(I'm actually really looking forward to it. I love going to the fair -- when I was a child, it was a highlight of the year. Livestock exhibits, handicrafts, carnival rides, and fried food.
