Lane County Fair

Howdy Folks!
We've had a wonderful time at the fair this year. It's the first time we've been there in about 5 years, I think, so consequently, it was little Mister's first time at the fair. He had a blast.
A big hit was the children's garden play area where everything is handmade and all of the veggies are hand sewn.




Another favorite is always the animals. It's really why we go.

This year we got to see baby chicks hatch out of eggs




the tiniest goat I've ever seen


(this little guy's mom was only as tall as my knee.....maybe!)

and lots and lots of piglets!



PIG PILE!

We have been contemplating whether we should enter some items in the fair next year. I think we will. I have always wanted to and I want the kids to feel pride in what they make. Who knows, maybe we could bring home a blue ribbon or two.

Long Awaited Eye Surgery!!!

Well, here ya go. The much awaited pictures of Mr. Meticulous' eye surgery results. The surgery is amazing. The doctor repositioned the two muscles on either side of the eye by cutting them and stitching them onto the eye in their new position. The one on the right (as you look at the picture) was moved further back on the eye to create less of a pull and the muscle on the left was moved forward and restitched to the eye. You can see the edge of it beside the rim of the iris in the picture above. He is healing very well. We have a check up appointment tomorrow so I will post an update about his progress sometime tomorrow. He will have at least one more appointment after that and get new glasses with his new prescription.
