I wish I was young again.

Thanks you guys. ((Hugs back))) I ended up going back and eating an elephant ear...which was 10x more disgusting than I remember it ever being I played one thing of Bingo, but it's just not as fun by yourself.

I decided to pick up some ice cream cones for the dogs since they've been neglected all day. Remind me to never walk in the house with 5 crazed Hoodlums carrying a handful of ice cream cones Haha, they always make me smile, I don't know what I'd do without them.

Sorry you didn't have a good time at the fair, Ashley.

I went to the fair one county south of us tonight with some friends from work. We had a good time, and ate gross fried food (is there anything better then fried cheese or frozen cheesecake on a stick?), but you are right, it just isn't the same as when we were young!

I am really sorry you did not enjoy your time at the fair. Perhaps you can go back another night. Maybe call some old school chums and see if they are free to go with you. I think you will be surprised at how many people will be happy to hear from you.

Back in 94 my mom and daughter went with me to our local fair. We had the best time, so many good memories. Three weeks later my mom was gone due to a car accident and I could not bring myself to go back to that place for many years. Alicia and I went to other fairs but not that one. Finally enough time had passed and we went back and there I found my precious Bennybunny. Now when I go I always have a silent conversation with my mom. A tear or two will fall, maybe three or more, oh hell who am I kidding. I always break down and sob for a few minutes, yet there are many smiles as well. I see her smile in every turn. It was the last time we ever spent together. We had so much fun with all the animals, she loved every one, petted every one.
I remember my mom petting a billy goat and how he didn't want her to leave. I remember how she loved the flowers. We won one stuffed dog, teal green and a heart that says I love you. Both are in my bedroom now.
As I walk along I can feel my mom beside me. So bittersweet.
I love the fair. I am sure she sent Benny to me.
