Walking around the local fair this morning. Enjoying people watching.
Overheard two ladies complaining about how the quilts were done using sewing machines and not the old fashioned way.
@Kurtroedeger I had no idea a tractor could pull more than 60 women!!!
Still notokay, the women pull the tractor. It's a big tractor, takes a lot of them.
@Kurtroedeger Ha! I am trying to imagine who proposed this activity and said it would be fun; I am coming up blank.
Country life. They have garden/yard tractor pulls and full size tractor pulls.
@Kurtroedeger Amazing. My back can barely manage standing for an hour to bake (honey apple torte is in the oven--I'm on break for a minute before running to the store for the OJ I forgot for the date honey cake).
@Kurtroedeger You are wreaking havoc among the fair, I see.😂😂
@Kurtroedeger ask them if they still harness their horses to a cart to go get supplies...
@Kurtroedeger even the Amish use a treadle sewing machine to quilt!
@redenigma yeah, some people just want to complain
Can't fix that.
The quilts are gorgeous though. Even with a machine they put a lot of time and effort into them.
@Kurtroedeger sewing machines make it so much easier & faster to do more interesting things with fabric. the complaining always sounds a bit like jealousy to me
Walked through the exhibitors hall.
One very enthusiastic guy: hey, how's your gutters?
Me: oh they're good.
OVEG: do you have protection on them?
Me: oh, I toss a box of condoms up there twice a year.
OVEG: ??????
Me: ::walks away::
