Way To Go, Mom!!

We interrupt today's regularly scheduled Link/App Of The Week to congratulate my sweet Mother on winning a ribbon at this year's Kentucky State Fair for her carefully crafted watermelon slice.

A few years ago, we had two 45 year-old trees cut down in the back yard, and she when we saw one of the wedges cut from one of the trees, we thought it looked like a wedge of watermelon, so we saved it.  Mom painted to look like said watermelon wedge, and it's been the topic of many a conversation here at The Compound.  I think it's the most amusing thing ever, and wanted to share it with the state, so I entered it in the fair for her.  Lo and behold, she won a ribbon.  It's an Honerable Mention ribbon, but a winner nonetheless.  And when you consider the thousands and thousands of entries in the state fair, this is quite an accomplishment.  Not everyone can proudly boast that they have a state fair winner in their family.
