Though it's a dialysis day today, I wanted to visit the Farm during the Heritage Days, so Hubby and I got over here shortly after they opened at 10:00 and was able to wrest rides to get us to the various parts of the event. We sat along the rocks above the cannon display, and watched while they set of Civil War cannons just below us. We took a tour of the Big House, as they call it, and learned all about how Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were married here, and how James Cagney was put in charge of the vegetable stand during his stays there. We climbed onto a horse-driven wagon (with help from my dance partner from last night!), and journeyed over to the other side of the farm. I walked a bit while Hubby sat on a bench, though he was chatting up the ladies all the time he was there, as usual! We took another wagon ride back to the barn, did a bit more walking, shared a root beer float (great breakfast!) then decided it was time to head back to camp. We spent about two hours there, and as we left, we saw dozens of people lining up for wagon rides, and a long line of cars making their way into the Farm, so I suspect we left at just the right moment! Had a proper lunch when we got back, then got Hubby hooked up to his dialysis machine. It's been getting harder to get a good connection, so we've been scheduled for yet another vein clearing on Tuesday, grrrr! A good day, though, Hubby was as glad as I was to get out of camp for a while and do something a little different. He even commented that we should look for more things like this to go to, to which I heartily agreed! Spent quite a bit of time chatting with some neighbors in the afternoon while Hubby was dialyzing, then settled down for a quiet evening, as it's been a couple of busy days!
