Fair Week!

  That time of year has come again.
                       FAIR WEEK!
    Every September, the fair comes to our town, with food, animals, rides, contests and madness. LOTS OF MADNESS!
    There was only one year when I had not entered anything. 2013, July, August and September were a whirlwind and I barely had time to prepare! But I have a feeling that 2015 is going to be a good one.
    I am entering a Sashay knitted scarf, a crochet beach bag and a finger knitted necklace. The rest of the family is putting in their art as well. This will be the first time where I will not be dropping my stuff off in person! I am working tonight. Isn't it odd how I never thought I would get a job? And here I am. Things seem to be coming together in many an interesting way!
   I like my job a lot so far. The only anxieties I have are memorizing the menu (it is big) and messing up somehow! But Anxiety will be with me every place I go, might as well get used to it.
   I love getting ready for work. I lug all my make up and hair stuff into the bathroom, line everything up on the window sill and turn on some tunes. I've been listening to a ridiculous amount of Tommy James and the Shondells and Lou Christie as of late.
The Shondells recently did a free concert, and how I wish I could've made it out. Over 9,000 people went. How can one go wrong? Good music for free!
   Imagine being there, 9,000 people. Everybody together, enjoying music from days gone by. It's a beautiful thought.
    I leave you with two Shondells songs. "Ball Of Fire" is amazing. "Dragging The Line" is my work song.

  1. I love "Draggin' the Line." Never heard "Ball of Fire" before, so I gave it a listen. I found the melody and lyrics to be quite soothing. Great pick.
