Hey you two! I am very sorry I've been unable to get in touch while in
MN and WI. I arrived to the news that my uncle is dying of cancer and
have spent most of my time in Worthington with him and my aunt. Please
accept my apologies and, Dams, thanks for the invite to the cook-in.

Oh, and Barb...how'd the fair fare fare?

Oy. I'm sorry.

The Fair Fare fared very well, thank you. Just got back from there ‹
after laying in a weekend supply of Abdallah's caramel apples (they're
closed for the holiday weekend starting tomorrow!) I did a tv thang ‹
and a more modest person than I would deny what a damn fine job I did,
too. :-) I've got a radio gig tomorrow sometime. Tammy McNiff arrives
in about an hour and I'm dragging her out there. She's grease-deprived,
I'm sure and it is my Minnesota Hostess duty to remedy that!

I had six blue ribbons and was named the Prestigious Processor of the
Pantry for the second time in the four years of its existence (the
Fair's top canning prize ‹ the grand fromage, if you would '-) )

Carol's on hiatus right now.
I'm glad you could be with your aunt and uncle; I'm sure it meant a lot
to them. Next year. . . .
