Happy boys, happy happy happy boys. We are home from the highlands, leaving behind fair-food, live music and sitting in the rain until next year.Fair food is awesome, but then it gets you back. Some of the samplings (we tended to buy things and pass them around): strawberry shortcake, hot fudge cake, strawberry scones, bread pudding with hot apples and whiskey sauce, birdies (sausage in puff pastry), mixed berry pie (hot), spiral fried sweet potatoes with butter and brown sugar, apple turnovers. Mostly one of the boys would get something and the rest of us would sample it... with thermoses and thermoses of coffee....
Last night on the way home the boys picked their bests:
best band: Barleyjuice
best newcomer band: Scythian
favorite song: the love waltz- Scythian- kyle, what do you do with a drunken sailor- Barleyjuice- Grendel
prettiest girl: Scotlyn, the oldest daughter of Kyf from Barleyjuice. (Kyle's pick)
Hulahoop girl (Grendel's pick)
best food: apple turnovers from Douglas bakery
new friend that came with us: Aaron from Asheville
new friend that we met: Dave-the-Dwarf from Asheville
wildlife: 1 bear, 1 deer (eating rocks), 1 owl
best fiddler: Alex from Synthian
best piper: Kyf from Barleyjuice
Hottest girl: pink-dress-girl, redhead in the mini-kilt, brunette in the mini-kilt
Most random act: when Aaron fell asleep during Blessed Blend, and woke up when a stranger gave him a hot, fresh turkey leg!
Most generous act: the lady who gave Gabriel a ticket on Sunday for free.
Who we feel sorry for: Garrett, who fell down the mountain when parking cars (Melissa's friend from High School) and ended up in a leg brace, with a shot of morphine and *still* had to direct traffic from a folding chair
Runner up, feeling sorry for: Drunken fairy, whose boyfriend publicly made out with another girl, breaking poor drunken fairy's heart... (no one should have to cry at the games)
Oddest people: pirate guy (trying to dress like Johnny Depp, including the hair) and the 'celtic witch' (imagine Amy Winehouse at 70 in a leather mini outfit and bellydancer belt, high heel boots... her t-shirt said 'celtic witch', so we aren't being mean...)
Good time was had at the annual birthday-cation! (But we are all glad to be home, in our own little beds... now, if only some magic fairy came along and did all my homework....)
But the manz was busy, busy while we were gone- cut the shoe molding, planted the new roses and repotted the moss roses from the windowboxes, and rehung the kitchen cabinet cabinet doors (that were on upside down for some unknown reason)... He also had surprises for Grendel and I, but those deserve a post of their own!!!
