I Smell Corn Dogs!!!

September is on her way out, with October marching in the wings.
I smell corn dogs!!! State fairs are opening all over the country and Georgia has one on every corner!!!or so it seems. People have been making quilts and grooming hogs, hankering for a ribbon.
Carney people are putting the pieces together for the rides of a lifetime. The grease is hot, hot, hot and anything fried works for me. Cotton candy a mile high, and candy apples that will remain in your teeth for a week or two!!! Gold fish are swimming in tiny bowls, and tacky stuffed animals are only a 'ball throw' away. Oh how I wish, I still loved the fair. I love my memories of the fair, but going....not so much. I don't see things the same way, I'm ancient and I love hand sanitizer!!! The rides are all rusty and make funny noises. All the carney people freak me out, with no teeth and boils, beckoning me to "Take a Chance" on a prize!!!! I do love to look at the crafts and animals. I have a tendency to bring home pets!! We had a wonderful rabbit for years that I bought from the 4H club at the fair in Pennsylvania!!! I want to "Free Willy" and let the animals run free, and that may disturb the people on the "Bullet" or the "Roller Coaster!" I do miss the freak shows of my youth, Tiny Pete gave me nightmares for years. There was once body parts in jars, that crowds would surround. Fair memories will have to keep me company for one more October, and just maybe someone will come up with a candle that smells like a corn dog!!!
