Fair Week

Getting a caramel apple with nuts
Eating it all, though it adds to the gut
Needing a soda to wash it all down
Enjoying the sights and sounds all around
Seeing the people, some big and some small
Entering contests, but can't win them all
Exhibiting pictures, two in each year

Consuming a greasy elephant ear
Orbiting the fairgrounds, everyday
Using some money for fun games to play
Nibbling on corn dogs, a pizza or fries
Trying to keep from increasing my thighs
Yawning as the day turns slowly to night

Fearing the ride as it starts to take flight
Aahing and oohing at all the events
Indulging again in some of the tents
Riding the Freak-Out and Scrambler, too
Saying "Farewell" as the fair is now through

True Friends

I have some very true friends in my life, that I am eternally grateful for. As I saw this video last night, I was reminded that regardless of the fact that I have lost touch with some of my friends, true friendships last forever. I thank God for all my friends, everyday, whether we've just recently become friends, or have been friends forever and somehow lost touch. I love you all! Enjoy...

A day late...

Yesterday was my dad's birthday, and I didn't get a chance all day to send him some extra special wishes. Therefore, I thought I would post real quick and wish him a great day (I talked to him the day before his birthday) and a great weekend!

He is spending the weekend up north at a lake. The weather is beautiful for that kind of thing, and Ben and I had considered heading up there to spend some time. Unfortunately, we had a business seminar that we had to go to, so we didn't get a chance.

My dad has been a great big support for me for many years. He is a wonderful guy and I very happy to have him as my dad!

So anyway, Dad, I hope you had a great day yesterday and plans for a great week! We love you very much and hope to spend some time with you this week! Love you!

Here's a pic of me and my parents.
