did you guys have a good weekend? mine as usual went by way to fast :-(
friday night i went to the local state fair. the older i get the smaller the fair seems. it was the opening night so it was pretty busy. we were there for about 3-1/2 hours. rode 3 rides. ate from two different food stands. went there with 3 friends.

| one of the rides i rode...brought back lots of memories of childhood |
 |
| overcame my fear of heights to ride the ferris wheel |
 |
| few from atop the ferris wheel |

 |
| the most unique thing they had at the fair to eat...deep fried snickers |
 |
| ate my first every gyro...it was lamb and pretty delish |
 |
| and it was HUGE...no way i could eat the whole thing |
then went to church this weekend...
oh...and made some cupcakes - spiced pear and apple w/ raspberry buttercream frosting.
here is the original recipe. i only had 1-1/2 pears so i added in an apple. also had no nutmeg. for the frosting i just made a basic buttercream and added in fresh raspberries. the combo is a bit different, but i really liked it.
