State Fair

I can’t believe it’s August already. But I guess time flies when you are having fun/ working hard.

The last few days at work have been busy. I’ve been writing a lot and I keep getting assigned more stories. Lately I’ve been doing a lot of art stories, which I find to be challenging, but I think I’m getting better at writing them (at least I hope so).

This weekend was great. David came up for the day on Saturday and we went to the Ohio State Fair. I had never been there before and I had a really great time. We mostly just looked at the animals, and people watched, but a few of the highlights included, eating a deep fried snickers ( which was great, as gross as it sounds) riding the cable cars and of course, seeing the butter cow. I think the butter cow, might have been my favorite part.

I never really though about how important farming was in Ohio, until I came to Columbus and the fair just reinforced that. There is such a big focus on agriculture, but I had not idea that it was such a big part of living in the state.

I guess that’s what living next to Cleveland will do to you.

I was sad to see David go, but I fillef the void by cleaning house. Our bath tub has a giant clog somewhere and won’t let the water drain. But after hours of plunging and an entire bottle of Draino ( the second one we’ve used this summer), I still can’t get it to drain. I guess we are going to have to call the land lord.

That’s about all my news. This week should be pretty busy.  Tomorrow  I’m driving to Hilliard a woman for a story about a dog walk that’s being held to benefit the American Cancer Society. It will probably be a tough interview, because she’s a cancer survivor and most of her family has died from the disease. I’m not really sure what I’ll say to her.  But I’m hoping I can write a nice article that will raise awareness about her fundraiser.

Well, I’m trying to get to bed early because that bathtub took a lot out of me. More later.
