Fair Day

I was both excited and afraid to go to the State Fair - excited because it signifies the beginning of fall, it brings back lots of fun memories of the fair our church held every year in Midland when I was growing up, and it's always fun to people watch. However, that brings up the afraid part...it brings out the corn dog in everyone (except me, of course!). If it was just that, it would be okay - they smell and taste terrific, and it's just part of going to the fair. But, we've all heard about the fried butter that's the hot, new thing, and sure enough, there was a LONG line to try it - along with fried cheesecake, fried peppers, fried peaches, fried sweet potatoes, fried chicken and yes, fried corn dogs - wow, I could keep going - the whole place smelled like one big deep fat fryer. That smell combined with the waffles, cotton candy and and popcorn is reassuring in an odd way - it's the fair and it's like how we've always remembered it. I just don't remember how I rode all the rides after eating all that stuff - and probably don't want to!! Hope you had a nice weekend! Melissa
