Going to the fair today.   Wish you were with me to hold onto my arm and walk around all the people acting like kids again.   The silly games of chance, spending 5 bucks to throw a ball, a ring, or a dart to win an over-sized stuffed animal. Rides that creak and shake as they whip you around, turn you upside down, or carry you to the clouds so you can look over everything.   The lights flickering as dusk sets in, laughter and screaming filling the air.  Funhouses, face painting, and fake tattoos.  A variety of animals to pet, feed, and ride including the pig races.  The food….steak on a stick, french fries dripping with salted oil, ice cream, bbq, funnel cakes, turkey legs, caramel apples, and cotton candy.  Did I mention I go for the food?

Oh how I  wish you were here with me!
