We ran into people from year's past and met family and friends on Friday night at Ye Ole Beer Gardens. This in itself is worth the trip.
We never realized how much the "Yaaa, Sure, You Betcha" is said in everyday conversation. DH & DW looked at each other in amazement every time we heard that........ We actually laughed out loud! Only because people laughed at us due to our accent when we first arrived here in AZ. We've been told that our accents have almost left us completely, but they still hear a little of it in certain words....
We love our roots and if people find our accent funny, by all means, laugh. We know sure ya betcha did don't ya know. LOL! :-)~
We went non stop from Thursday night when we arrived, to Sunday early afternoon when we boarded our flight back to Phoenix. We can't say enough how wonderful it was to see each and every one of you. Thanks again!!!!
Below you will see a few photos we took of our short and quick trip.
Here we are at "SKY-HARBOR" airport here in Phoenix. It's great that they allow you to park your car and have a view of the flights leaving the airport. DH could stand out here for hours watching the planes take off. "HOW COOL"
No trip to the SCFF would be complete without a photo with Steely the Steer. As you can see in the background, the sky was perfect. Not a cloud to be seen. For a second, we thought we were still at home in Arizona!
It's true, you DO get a few nice days in MN!
Here is a photo we took of Fair Square. It's an entertainment area that has a variety of performances happening throughout the day. This picture shows a friend of the family that was called on stage to be a helping hand. We didn't even know he was around till the performer picked him out of the crowd. It was a show stopper to say the least! Thanks for the laugh Gener!! :-)
A trip back to Oh-Town would not be complete if you didn't enjoy a Pizza Pie from Nick's Pizza Palace. This pizza is the BEST in town. DH & DW devoured the whole pizza in Olympic time! Mmmmmmmmmm

It was so nice to see you guys, it's been a while! Thanks a lot for coming to visit! Miss you already!
Frenchie & Kaza
Oh man! If we knew you were going to be THAT CLOSE, we would have driven up to see you (and have some Costas chocolates, of course). Glad you had a chance to enjoy the Midwest sunshine and some down-home dialect! We sure miss Owatonna.
Hey! It was great seeing you both and thanks for the cup of coffee! I thought about you two on Sunday night and figured you'd be EXHAUSTED from the traveling and overload of sights/sounds/family/friends. It's good to get away but good to get home again. What a whirlwind trip for you. But I'm darn glad that you chose to do it. Looking forward to 'seeing' you on the Speed Channel in October for the next auction. Talk with ya soon!
Some how I just don't miss the Big "O" even if it was the fair. I think I'd miss all the drive by shootings and other violence that the Sag-nasty(Saginaw) has to offer. The Saginaw Prom is held in the Dow Event Center which is like the Rochester Civic Center. It's located downtown and they have snipers on the roof tops watching for gang violence!!! NICE!!!!!!!!!!
