Pumpkin Pumpkin

Hi there! Two weekends ago we made an attempt to visit a pumpkin patch. Before we went to the patch, we fueled up at the local Home Town Buffet for breakfast. Here you can see that Grandma and Grandpa E came up for a visit.



By the time my dad was finished at the buffet, dusk had settled in so we went to Kohl's instead. Our second attempt to secure a pumpkin came this past weekend when we went to Circleville for their annual, vaunted Pumpkin Festival. Here you can see us photographed near the painted mural commerating the pumpkin show. It is serious business in these parts.



Here is a shot of us in front of the pumpkin Christmas tree before we were offered a pumpkin shake...



And here is one after we were offered a pumpkin shake. Notice how JC leans in at the mere mention of food!



Finally, here is a shot with my dear mother. I, M, was lucky enough to visit the Pumpkin show on it's 100th anniversary a couple months after I was born. You can see here they are now at 103 years!




In the end, we could find no pumpkins at the show for sale that weren't already turned into shakes, pies, gyros, bologna, or chili. So we found one in a box at Meijer instead! Oh well!

I laughed at your saying that dusk had settled in by the time your dad was done eating.

I love and miss your Grandma and Grandpa E.

We went to the pumpkin show too! It was great.
We really need to get together sometime, we have been here for three months now, and I still haven't called you.
