The View From Here



June 3, 2010.
The traveling carnival came our way.
And we indulged.

The facts:
The carnival comes every summer
*
Doug usually takes the kids every time
*
We have lived here for 15 summers
*
I've never gone

This year I went.

It was, well, a small-town
dusty, summer carnival
with pretty much all the stereo-types intact.

We whirled
we spun
we (Abbie) got a headache.

We experienced small-town-summer-America

and somehow we got through it without
too many adverse effects.

And you know, it was still magical for Abbie.

I'm probably good for another 15 years...
