Parade....

This is what I woke up to Saturday morning; the Colorado State Fair is held here in Pueblo and every year on the Saturday after the fair starts is the annual parade; well it lines up in front of our home. Every year I wake to the sound of a marching band at about 6 a.m. One year I opened the door and walked out to a helicopter ontop of a semi truck in front of our home. LOL

I thought the one from the Nursery was especially nice. I hope we get to go to the fair this year; I'm sure we'll make it at least once; it's so expensive and money is a little tight with Kenny just starting a new job and he doesn't get paid til the 15th of September. We were slammed at work today; I did make $75 and that's not bad for 5 hours of work. Not counting the $4.36 an hour I make. LOL I love being a waitress; it's hard work and it's especially hard on my feet and back; but I have a lot of "regulars" that I enjoy taking care of.

Kenny did all the laundry today and had made chicken breasts and mashed potatoes for dinner; they were really good. I am going to go do the dishes and then stitch on Jolly Jack I really want to get him done because I'm going to put out my Halloween decorations either tomorrow or Tuesday. Seeing everyone putting theirs up is making me want to put mine up. Oh, I stopped by the grocery store on the way home and picked up the Just Cross Stitch Halloween issue. :) I have to look at that before dishes..LOL Hope everyone is safe on the East coast...
