Our Location:
Mercer County Fairgrounds, Celina, Ohio
It was a wonderful night temp wise, sleep wise, not so much. Oh well, it is what it is, at least it wasn't a travel day today. We slept with all the windows and vents open last night and very few blankets. We are soaking up as much heat as possible.

| Jim these are for you and Barb. |
 |
| Until you mentioned your project I hadn't ever seen any, and there is one right here in the fairgrounds. |
 |
| At coffee time I had my pick of seats, I tried a few of them. |
This morning I took my coffee and climbed into the grandstands to watch a few trainers letting their charges run for a bit. Even managed a quick conversation with one as he went by, we thought I might have the best seat in the house. Considering I was the only one there, I think we were correct. A walk around the park, a quick trip for diesel but no top up for propane as it was flat rate, no matter how much they put in, we left without a top up. The fairgrounds are getting ready for a yard sale tomorrow, starting at 8 am, we will be long gone by then. We hope to pull out by 7 am to avoid the confusion and busyness.

| These two were just enjoying the wind in their manes and having a good time. |
 |
| I spoke with the fella on the inside lane. |

| This guy came late to the party. |
A few pics of the views, I hope you enjoy them. A quick up date, Rick is now off the ventilator, he was sitting in a chair for a while yesterday, he's still pretty fuzzy but doing better. Thanks for all the concern in the past week.
They aren't racing just trotting along. 
Not clear but you get the idea, they were enjoying their run. 
He's still getting warmed up.
Until next time...
Take care, stay safe,
Deb
It wasn't only the horses coming around the home stretch, you and Riley are now on the home stretch as well. A pretty nice feeling I would say:))
ReplyDeleteVery true, and the home run stretch went well.

Very cool! Both the horses, carts and the grain bin shelter. That one is a heck of a lot bigger than the one we are putting up. Good luck crossing tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteIt was so funny that we could see one of the gazebos that you and Barb are putting up. I've never seen one before.

Safe travels across the border home tomorrow. We plan on pulling out of here around 7 a.m. also, hooked up tonight and just have to dump on the way out in the morning.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good rest there, and a short drive to the border went well.

Glad to hear Rick is improving.
ReplyDeleteHave a good drive and an easy crossing.
Thanks Patsy. The crossing was easy.

Good to hear Rick is doing a bit better. It'll be exciting to cross tomorrow, continued safe travels!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff. We are excited to be getting back to Ontario.

Glad to read that Rick is improving.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place to land and spend a couple of days. Everything looks so green and what fun to get to sit and watch the horses going through their paces.
Safe travels tomorrow and fingers crossed you have a quick and uneventful crossing back into Canada.
Thanks Deb. It's a place you and Tom would enjoy, I think. It was a great spot to rest for a few days. The crossing went well.

What a nice place to stay! Love seeing the horses warm up. Have a great day crossing over.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy. The crossing went well and we enjoyed the horses a great deal.
