Small town fun awaits.

ah yes.

Thanks Nancy, we've driven by this dirt race track many times. They are having races and fireworks tonight. Should be a great time. Nothing beats the little towns celebrations.

Leah -

Vroom-Vroom baby! I loved this Haiku! The bug spray being the indicator of time of year - nice work!

the bug spray gave me a chuckle - somehow I didn't picture you as a dirt racing fan - go figure - a NASCAR sheep.

Alieen,
It was awesome!!! The fireworks were great too.

David L,
I've missed you--hope all is well. :)
Glad you liked it.

Nathan,
*glances out at my mud-soaked Jeep* Yes, there's a wee bit 'o country gril in me as I grew up 1/2 hr from the nearest grocery store...

Also, it's farrrr away from NASCAR...they had pickup truck racing, cars racing pickups, two different types of car races, and jumps.

Summer,
I left my bug spray at my in-laws house yesterday. :(

But yes, it was a great night!

The deet was to keep the mosquitoes off?
I like the last line--conjured up a carnival and shopping for me.

John,
I don't use deet anymore, there's this new Off product that is not deet and not sticky, I love it. It's the black flies in Maine that are killah--they make you bleed! I'd take a skeeter any day over a fly. *bzzztt*
