Mon 5 Sept

I return a year older. Had a very nice birthday weekend, spending time and having a delicious mushroom pasta dinner with Kurt and Barb, and a perfect sunny (if crowded) day at the Fair. Ticked off my boxes by getting our flu shots, having nitro ice cream, getting some good bags, crepes for breakfast, etc. at the Fair. Left earlier than usual because we were both tired and had enough. Crowds were heavy so it was less comfortable to go into buildings or even walk in the streets. Learned yesterday from Kathy on Facebook that there had been a nighttime shooting on the midway, causing them to close down the fairgrounds after 10 pm on Saturday night. Hadn't even heard a peep at the Fair on Sunday. Food: 7:50 am Mixed berry Antwerp square, 101 g blackberries, coffee
