Fo...Beth, I just love the photos of the Big Wheel. <br />For me, the fair was always about going on the Big Wheel. I didn't like most of the other rides--too scary. But the sensation of rising slowly up into the air was just sublime. I'll never forget the first time I went on one with my mum. <br /><br />It's funny, because I must have seen photos on your blog of a fair before, as when the fair came to our local park, last weekend, I thought of you, and I intended to head out with my camera to catch some snaps of the Big Wheel. But... but... I didn't go in the end, and now I'm sorry that I didn't. Oh well. <br /><br />If you have time, I've started a new space for my writing and my photos, at www.emergingintowholeness.com and would love it if you could stop by to say hi.sam brightwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17900569690774265677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-87970943165194056712010-07-22T02:35:58.382-05:002010-07-22T02:35:58.382-05:00i was always the kid who wandered through the stab...i was always the kid who wandered through the stables at our local state fair. getting to pet the animals and gawk at their owners. love this post!<br />ktAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-5577779183476426812010-07-22T00:50:44.871-05:002010-07-22T00:50:44.871-05:00I am amazed when I see them too.

I wanted to show cattle, but I was stuck doing what girls needed to learn, like make an apron, etc. it was a good time though. Beth I cleaned my computer room yesterday. I am putting up the flags today. I kept thinking, I put them in a special place so I would not lose them, and where is that place, so I just feel so relieved.do you ever lose things. take care...I want to go to a fair now too. hugs.Cindy https://www.blogger.com/profile/03552572705763406197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-80000659257206781682010-07-21T13:30:44.907-05:002010-07-21T13:30:44.907-05:00When I was a teen I was in 4-H and have wonderful ...When I was a teen I was in 4-H and have wonderful memories of going to all the local fairs and showing my rabbit...the only farm animal my parents would allow me to have:) I assisted my best friend who showed sheep which are very, very, very labor intensive.
