Mid-Michigan Tractor Show...Waiting Her Turn

I hate to tell this story, but I had a Friday decision to make. Should I go to watch the Senior PGA tournament, or to the tractor show?

I chose the golf tournament, getting there at 9:45 to catch a shuttle bus to the course for the 10:45 start. The problem? Not a bus in sight. I even flagged down a security guy in his truck to ask for details. Exasperated, I finally opened my phone to look at my ticket. IT IS FOR THE 22nd!, NOT FOR THE 15th! Oh my, quite a senior moment.

So, I headed for the tractor show, getting there 3 hours later than I have in the past. It was very hot without much shade, but it is a HUGE show with a lot to see. For my 10 dollar entry fee, I got several good photo keepers, and with 4 trips to my van...came home with 12 pieces of wood from the sawmill pavilion to paint on.

After seeing row after row of tractors, and watching some tractor-pulling, the heat got to me and I returned home...not wanting to tell Lisa the story.

Now, next week's golf tournament is in jeopardy. My first cataract surgery is on the 21st, and I have to be seen on the 22nd, too. Maybe no golf.

The young lady in the picture is shielding her eyes to see the competitor in front of her.

There is never a lull,
in the tractor pull.
Power is a factor,
for kids on their tractor.
