A Sunday at the Oklahoma State Fair 🎡🐴
Hello everyone!
I am so blessed for the weekend that we had, and Sunday turned out to be a pretty good day too!
Cherrie and I left my house around 9:30 Sunday morning and headed up to Oklahoma City to the Oklahoma State Fair. We got there around 10:30, and I paid $15 for parking, which I honestly think was well worth it. We parked at Gate 9, so it was pretty easy in and easy out, and it was also really close to the exhibits I wanted to see and the horse barns.
Once we got inside, we walked around a little bit and checked out some of the concession stands. We didn’t make it over to the midway or the games, but honestly, neither one of us was really interested in that anyway.
The part I really wanted to see was the building with all of the arts, crafts, and other entries from people all over Oklahoma. I wanted to see who won the blue ribbons and what everyone had made and entered into the fair.
And let me tell you—it was AMAZING!
I took lots of pictures, and seeing all of the things people had made actually got me thinking that maybe I should make something and enter it into the fair next year. How cool would that be? I think that would be a fun little challenge for me!
We also went through the 4-H building and looked at all of their contributions and the different exhibits they had. We didn’t stay a really long time, but we stayed long enough that I was happy with everything I wanted to see, and Sherrie was happy too.
Now, Cherrie probably could have stayed and walked around a whole lot longer than I could have. She is definitely in much better shape than I am! 😂 But I kept telling her, “I can still go! I can make it! Let’s go!”
And then she finally said, “No, I’m kind of done.”
Well, okay then! 😂
We headed out and started thinking about where we wanted to eat. We were leaning toward barbecue, but I had already mentioned that I was going to call in an order from Interurban in Chickasha and pick up Mr. C a chicken-fried steak with a loaded potato for his dinner.
Cherrie said, “Why don’t we just drive down to Chickasha and eat at Interurban?”
And I thought, well, that sounds like a pretty good idea!
She really likes their Chelsea’s Chicken salad, so that’s what she ordered. I decided on half of a club sandwich with a loaded potato. I knew I was going to eat my sandwich there, wrap up my potato, and take it home for another meal—and that’s exactly what I did.
Of course, I also ordered chips and their Blanca queso because their queso is the BEST. Hands down. I even had some leftover to bring home with me. And yes, I was perfectly happy about that! 😂
After we ate, we picked up Mr. C’s dinner and then stopped at Aldi’s. I needed to pick up a few things for my lunches at work this week, and I only spent about $30.
I got some basic things—crackers, chicken breast, cheese, pepper jack cheese, an iced coffee in a carton, and even some watermelon spears.
And let me tell you about those watermelon spears!
I had a couple of them last night, and they were SO good. I honestly wish I would have bought a couple of containers because they were delicious. Plus, I know I need to get more fruit into my diet, so having something like watermelon around for a snack is a pretty good idea.
We got home sometime before 3:00, so it really wasn’t a terribly long day. We got to go to the fair, see the things we wanted to see, eat a good meal, make a quick Aldi’s run, and still get home at a decent time.
Once I got home, I spent some time working in my journal. I did three pages of entries because, as always, I am a little behind. 😂 But three pages is a good start, and it felt good to get back into it and get myself moving in the right direction.
After that, I got ready for bed and settled in to watch some Netflix. I’ve been watching Glow Up, and I have really been enjoying it. I’m going to be sad when I get through all of the episodes!
And that, my friends, was pretty much my entire Sunday.
Nothing too crazy. Nothing too fancy. Just a good day with a good friend, a little time at the fair, good food, a little shopping, some journaling, and a quiet evening at home.
Sometimes those are the best kinds of days.
Thank you all for stopping by my blog! If you would leave me a quick thumbs up to let me know you came by and saw me, I would really appreciate it. Or drop a comment down below—I would love to hear from you!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
