Iowa State fair
« on: August 18, 2009, 04:07:44 pm »
We got home late eve Sun night from Chicago.    I was very tired yet yesterday but today off to the state fair.     Very tired by noon as there by 8:30.       Balance did a little better than last year but we used to stay into the evening and those days are long gone.         And yes I had my corn dogs.

Okay, I'm thinking Coney Island ... funnel cakes and corn dogs ...

Cheryl, glad you got to the fair, although I don't know where you found the energy!

No Kay it means I'm weak when it comes to funnel cake.  So sinful, but oh so good.  Ice cream makes my face feel much better  ::)
