Festival at the park

Guy and I went to the festival at the park yesterday. We had a good time. As we drove to park I was thinking how much easier to park here than in Fort Worth. First of all we didn't have to pay to park. Second we didn't have to walk a mile. Everything is so much easier than in the big city.

We walked to where it was all happening and I went up to a table and someone said, "Oh you made it back to Sweetwater". That was Lita. I know she does a lot for the town of Sweetwater. And Gayle Greer was there beside her. She ask me where I was living. Same house as last time. They were giving away a thousand dollar shopping trip. I gave a dollar for the entry fee and signed up. Guess I  didn't win because no one called me.

Went to the next table which was for USG. Free pens. Very nice. The lady said they were hiring starting out at $19 an hour. That is pretty good pay.

We walked by several other tables which didn't interest us. I seen a couple of people I knew and waved. We were trying to find out about the pie eating contest. Guy thought he could win that hundred dollars for the fastest eating one. One lady had schedules for each hour. It was at 4. So at 4 we went over to where everyone was gathering around. Come to find out you had to register for it. That left Guy out. Betty Myers came over and talked to us. She sat down at the table to try for it. You had to eat a piece of pie with your hands behind your back. She kind of cheated. Her hands were not behind her back. I got a good picture of her though with her cheeks puffed out. Some young guy won .

After that we went to get something to eat. They had chili pie, one of my favorites. Guy got sausage on a stick. He said it was very good. We took a few pictures and then we went home. It was a very nice and relaxing day . We topped that off with a movie last night on TV. We got Dish for our satellite and got lots of movies for three months. We watched Dallas Buyers Club. They sure talk bad in that movie but other wise it was okay.

So far life in Sweetwater is great! I am loving it!
