Took a quick trip to Michael's because Ralph wanted to get a basket to keep cords & things in. I picked up a couple items too, but I'm not saying what as they will be fashioned into Christmas gifts & I don't want to give anything away. I will post pictures after the holiday, though.
Next we headed to Silverado Days in Buena Park. MH2 & PH2 were going to come, but they are busy moving PH2's mom so they weren't able to go. Nothing too exciting--a few booths, rides, and games--but it was free parking & free admission, AND there was a chili cook-off & tasting/voting was free. There were about 8 different kinds of chili. The first one we tried was the best IMHO, very spicy and meaty. There was also a chicken chili which I liked very much, however the mild flavor made it taste more like a chicken stew than a chili, so even though it was delicious it did not get my vote. I kept expecting there to be dumplings in it.
Funny thing--there was a hang-glider ride there, and I took a picture of it because I thought it was pretty neat. After it went around a couple times, I decided to take a second shot to make sure I got one with people in it (there weren't too many riders at the time). Here are the two pictures I took:
I could not have gotten two more identical shots if I had tried.
After that we went to Pioneer Chicken in Bell Gardens. This may not seem like a big deal, but this was the first Pioneer Chicken I have seen since I was in my teens so it was a real trip down ol' Memory Lane. It was wonderful, too, exactly how I remembered it.
Well, going to keep the post short tonight. I want to do some knitting; I'm on the bottom ribbing of the shirt, and have another project that I want to go over the pattern for and make sure I've got all that I need for it.
Very cool on the pictures! And woo hoo for Pioneer Pete and his yummy chicken! Thanks - now I want chicken.
