"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

Pictures, Pumpkins and a Few Old Cars

Today was the County Fair! :D :D There's different crafts people can enter for judging, and then I also enjoy the antique cars and trucks, model train layout, veggies, animals and more. Today we also went for a 10-minute ride on a truck/train/shuttle around the fairgrounds. I really enjoyed seeing the petrified wood and other rocks at the local Geology Club's booth. (see picture below).It was really, really fun...even though it sprinkled! When Alison kept wanting to enter things we would tell her, "OK, you can, but you may not get any ribbon". She knew that. Well, what do you know we go to the Fair today and find she won TWO first prize awards and a second!!! I think she had entered a basket, cooking, and a sewing craft. Alison was very excited about that. She totalled that in prize money she'll get $13.0o! :D Mom also got 3 first places (on a basket, healthy cooking and doll dress) , and Dad a third on his drawing. I did not get any awards on my pictures.
Okay...this comes from my antique car-crazy grandfather...but my favorite thing at the fair was the really cool antique cars and trucks--including an original 1928 Model A Ford. :D

Well, this is lengthy enough...time for the pictures! :D
