Technically, I went, but many could claim that I did not. I went through the drive through to get a BBQ plate from the FFA.
I cheated; I know.
Only because I had forgotten, and was reminded the day of by my family, that there are only rides there and bbq plates.
My master plan fell to pieces.
Plan #1: Call my old FFA advisor to set me up with a chef/pig cooker man or woman whom I can assist.
Fail #1: I perceivably waited too long to act upon it--I'm giving the excuse of Easter.
Plan #2: Go around to several cooks on Saturday, at the fest, and taste test them all in order to give a review. Then go interview my chosen best cook about how to cook a pig.
Fail #2: That's not how things work....you buy plates without knowing who made the bbq.
Well, it was good and the vinegar based sauce is to die for.
Despite all that tomfoolery, the rest of the weekend was pure sweat and labor--hoeing them weeds and throwing down the rubbers...I mean rubber mulch, of course. Oh, the Spring!
Looking stunning and making me ecstatic...plants are popping up and growing in.
Two, maybe three weeks ago, I bought a surfboard! Hopefully I'll be riding some waves this summer. I'll be giving it my artistic touch in the next few weekends--here's the before picture. Painting it with my own design...
Next Event: Not surprisingly, the Bachelor Auction won out. This should be fun, as long as all the men aren't over 35...and I don't spend a million dollars. Prior to the event, I finally am learning to sail--all day Saturday!
