Finally Friday - State Fair of Texas (yes it is over)

Thursday October 17, Ray treated me to the Great State Fair of Texas - a late birthday present.  And really we say "Thanks, Dad" because a very old insurance policy came  to light.  We claimed it from dad's estate and voila - dad chipped in funds.   Whatever - it was a grand day.  I did wear my sling (rotator cuff recovery Week 10) due to crowds
Ray wears the boots in the family. 
Had to try a 2024 prize winning fried food and it was crazy tasty good. 

Cotton Candy Bacon on a stick.    Now think about it.... savory,  sweet....bacon.   OMG, it was really tasty. 

The Latina Mundo folks were celebrating  Day of the Dead at the Women's Museum.   Fun!

 Yes,  I wore the sling.  We went here after Pig Races, Stunt Dogs,  Cars, Fletcher Corny Dogs, and more.  The crowds were beyond nuts.  Ray even said after a million years of fair going, he did not remember crowds this big.  I got a tad overwhelmed and called it quits after 5 hours.  Whew!

  2. Cotton candy bacon on a stick, huh? Never heard of that. Very clever though. I trust you and reckon I'd like it. Cheers, Joanne. Be well.

  3. Hi Joanne - 5 hours ... I'd have given up a while before that ... however I'm glad to see the sling is being used less often. Not sure I could manage the cotton candy bacon thingie ... definitely not for this Brit!! Cheers Hilary

    1. There’s a lot to see and do. And the place is huge- lots of walking. You get drawn in and time flies. Mmmm. Bacon!
