My Weekend

As you may or may not have noticed, I have not written in a couple days. The reason for this was that I was away for the weekend. My brother took me to Pittsfield, NH on Saturday for a Hot Air Balloon Rally. Sadly, the weather was pretty lousy and the balloons stayed packed in trucks, so we never saw them. We had a passing thunderstorm that was pretty impressive.

While the balloons did not go up, we did get to enjoy some of the fair atmosphere. I ate large quantities of fried food, including part of a blooming onion, some chicken fingers, yummy french fries, and, of course, fried dough. My brother, sister, three of her children and I rode the storm out in my sister's mini-van, and then we wandered around a bit more until the fireworks, that were not canceled.

The fireworks were actually rather impressive also. They lasted about fifty minutes and were timed at least to some degree with music played over the loudspeaker system. The music varied from Rammstein to John Cougar Mellancamp to a classical piece to Johnny Cash. They also seemed to have about four finales; just when we would think they were over, there would be more. This picture is one that my brother Joe took.



Sunday, we had a cookout at the campground where my brother was staying with his RV (I spent two nights in the RV). We had a little rain during it, but it wasn't too bad. Well, it may have been at one point, but I was asleep during it if it was. My digestive system and I had another argument. I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), and it basically sucks when it decides to flare up.

We did have a fun time with the cookout also though, we had some bratwurst and later on had S'mores. I may have eaten more if my digestive system was not arguing with me. Never did get to eat the chicken sausage, and that makes me kind of sad. Over all, I had a great time. It was nice to see family, especially Joe. I also got to see my nephews and my newest niece. I wish my sister Diane could have been there too.
