A reprieve from projects for a day

Looks like fall, like fair time, like garden produce and that is all true.  These are the sweet pickles Terry made last week.  We are not taking them to the fair but I think they may win if we did. 
Today will be a reprieve from projects for a day.  The MN fair opens today and we will be there with our walking shoes, our appetite and maybe a credit card in case.  The paint brushes will stay covered, the saw will be silent and really the garage door will stay shut.  We will head out about 10:00, catch a free park and ride near home and head for fun.  We purchased 4 tickets at Cub a few days ago which saves $3 per ticket so will find another day to go as well.  For the last 3 years I was working last night as it would have been the first 12 hour night shift at the parking lot.  I admit that I did not miss it as I slept last night.  There was a lot of fun things in it but the length, 13 nights, got long, old and difficult.  Anyway not this year and it will be good.
I have had much on my mind this week about opening up to God daily.  I desire to hear his voice as he desires to direct me to do his work.  I have been spending more time listening but will need to get much much better at it.
Tomatoes are now starting to ripen faster and they are so good.  As I came into the kitchen this morning I saw there are 2 more that need to be picked.  The garden has done much more this year than last year which has been fun.  One cucumber plant is too many but what is one to do. 
We spent some time with Terry's 8 year old grandson yesterday.  Played some tennis, went on a short bike ride and then stopped at the golden arches for a delicious meal!!  So life is not all work.  We also stopped at Cynthia/Mike's for a short time.  I will never know why my grandchildren as so cute, much more than others!
With that comment it is time to go.
