state fair day

Here is the Millerlite racecar we saw this morning when we stopped for breakfast at McDonalds. We got to take pictures of it. Was pretty neat.







And this is a picture from the state fair. yeah we actually made it there this morning. Was alot of fun. Amazing how expensive it is though. But at least we managed to get home with a few things this year for the money spent. Got a really cute thin wallet, those are really neat. A couple tank tops yeah I know its almost winter, a free t-shirt for taking a survey. Free always good.
And I think I may have just figured out how to post pictures, we shall see....
well am tired guess I need to go for now. hope everyone has a great night..

free day at the museum

well today my daughter and I went to the Oklahoma Musuem of Science, in OKC. We had a nice time and something different to do, has been a long time since we have been there. And all thanks to the Smithsonian Magazine, think thats who made it all possible for folks to visit museums today for free all across the U.S.
Thank you to all the freebie blogs and sites who posted the offer for us to get the free coupon to go. All I had to do was register and they sent me a email with my ticket to get in for two. We stopped in the gift shop on our way out of the science center and we each got a keychain, and I got a pen which will proably run out of ink before long but oh well, and my daughter Jennifer got a rock sucker, and a penny which now is engraved with the science museum logo stuff on it.  Don't tell.. lol.
Thank goodness the state fair was still going on today the museum wasn't all that busy. We got to see the planterium which is always fun, seeing the planets and the night sky where all the stars are up there. Pretty neat. Looked like they were redoing or adding to some of the exhibits so who knows might go again soon.
Really need to learn to remember to take a camera with when we get to do stuff. Just not used to it, then could maybe figure out how to put them on here.
So did anyone else get the tickets to see a museum today? If so where did you go and what did you see.

We ate at subway before going which would have been great but the subway we stopped at along the way wasn't all that great, oh well.

When we got home I made 2 apple pies with the apples we got from some friends a few days ago. Picked them from their tree, that was fun too.
I have never actually been able to make a apple pie and get it to taste right, so hoping with practice I might get it, shall see. Gonna have plenty of apples for practice. Trying to get them all peeled, cored, cut and in the freezer...

guess I better go for now, thinking we might go to the great state fair of Oklahoma tomorrow, not sure about it, since costs so much, but sometimes just gotta have some fun. Maybe we can get out of there with not spending alot and going through buildings the usual thing to do.
well will write more tomorrow. goodnight

New Electronic Cigerettes

Well yesterday while in Stillwater visiting my sister for her sons birthday, there were 2 or 3 people there with these electronic cigs, so decided to ask about them. We had found them at a closer cig shop and for one it was around $60. so passed on it. But in Stillwater we were told they were around $25 for the start up pack and a refill pkg of filters. So went to check them out. And bought some. Will let you know if they help out or not and let everyone know how it works out.
These cigs aren't real so can be smoked anywhere around anyone. You get the fill of a cig but no second hand smoke, and everyone we talked to said they had cut back to 10 real cigs or less a day.
These electronic cigs have been onsale on tv over the last month or so.

We had a good time in Stillwater at their house, we were there for my nephew's 3rd BD. Were lots of little ones around.
My sister is planning on getting married next April and wants me to make her wedding cake so thinking I might. Of course after the anniversary cake might need to have my head examined. lol.

Well thats it for now. will post about the cigs.
