meet me at THE fair...


A few bullet points from my visit to the Texas State Fair yesterday:
  • We rode the DART there & back & I almost got my arm stuck in the automatic door.
  • I saw an exotic giant owl poop on a crowd of people.
  • I did NOT eat fried frito pie, fried oreos, or fried butter.
  • I did eat a corn dog, a snow-cone, drank lemonade & ate some cyclone potato chips.
  • Rode the Ferris Wheel.
  • Mostly occupied myself with taking "People of the State Fair" photos.
  • Wasted 10 coupons trying to hit 12 balloons with darts, it's impossible.
  • Used the grossest restroom I've ever had to use in my life.
All things considered, I had a pretty good time. It made me want to watch the movie "Meet me in St Louis" with Judy Garland.

Oprah did a special on the Texas State Fair and ate fried butter. I'm glad you didn't-when I saw her eat that, it made me want to throw up. Can you post some of your "people of the state fair" photos? I wish I had "people of the TN flea market" photos. I do have a quote, though: "Had to go up north to bury my father-in-law this morning. He died 9 years ago."

Makes me want to be there and take in a fair! I haven't been to the Dallas fair ever, and it seems like a lot of fun, well maybe someday! Loved your picures though, love, mom
