The Texas State Fair runs for 24 days and we were there for the last day. Susie is such a fun friend. She was starving when we got there so she ate the first thing she could. It was an awful hamburger but as we were sitting for her to eat, I told her about mom’s murder. She handled it really well and then we went on with the day. We had makeovers – she had each eye done differently and went around all day that way. We went to the Neiman exhibit, flew over the fairgrounds, saw cars and pigs and steer, oh my. We ran into some friends of mine and they gave us the lowdown on the “award winning fried foods”. It seems frying things is some what of a sport here in Texas. We got the inside scoop on the fried food “winners” and ate fried guacamole and fried cookie dough. We sat in the grass and watched the sunset and the people and chatted. The weather was perfect and the mood at the fair was electric. We wandered through the auto show and shared chocolate covered strawberries. We gave our tokens for the skyway to two kids and wandered through the animals. Pigs and Steer and Lambies. As we were leaving I gave my tickets to a 3 year old girl with dark hair and big eyes. Her eyes sparkled with her good fortune. Magical.
