Julie's Web Journal

Thanks, John, for saying that archive pictures are fine. The State Fair of Texas is going on right now, but we haven't been yet. We went two years ago, and it was a gray, rainy day (much like today, but cooler). No one really felt like going on the rides. Chris had fun with the games, though.

Flinging chickens. Would I make this up?

Demonstrating his bowling skills. Hard to tell from this picture, but he throws a mean hook.

As long as I'm on the subject of the fair, I'd be remiss not to show you the big attraction of 2005:

Yes, it's Elvis in butter! (You can sorta kinda see my reflection in the glass, so in a manner of speaking, I'm in the shot.)

For some reason, I thought that picture was Abe Lincoln rocking out with a guitar. Ha!

I hate to say it, but--that Elvis is a little too thin. He DOES look like Abe, sans the hat of course. I guess they needed a lot more butter!

Just think how much butter would have been required to do a 1970s Elvis. And I agree, this doesn't look that much like even the 1950s version.
