Jay and I Had a Wonderful Time!

Last evening, we headed for the Standish Fair. When we got to Standish, we discovered that this carnival was last weekend! We were both very disappointed:( Then, the aide at a nursing home(where we stopped to get directions), said there was the Arenac County Fair going on this weekend, near West Branch, Mi. So we traveled another twenty miles, towards Tawas and found it. The prices were very high, but no amount of money is more valuable that our relationship. So, Jay forked out the money for this expense and we had fun! Some of the rides cost 5 tickets, so we were only able to go on two ride. Jay ran out of money and all I had was $2 in my wallet and a debit card. So, we headed for home with smiles on our faces and a song in our hearts! Having a good time isn't against God's rules, unless bills go unpaid or someone ends up getting hurt This morning(Sunday) we are both very happy, no weapon formed against us will prosper Photo: Looks like the Ferris Wheel we went on, not my picture.

Glad you found a fair, but it must have been a bit of a blow to find out you missed the first one by week! That is the kind of thing I am doing all the time. I was once late by a year!

@kobesbuddy And you had to travel nearly twice as far to visit a fair!

@Ronrybs Actually, we were due for some fun. The money was less important, than losing our friendship.

That would have been SO disappointing to find you'd missed the first fair but you made up for it at the second.

@kobesbuddy I made sure my friends would be able to attend Mass nearby when they visited but those online times were wrong too.

Our town didn't have a carnival this summer, we missed it last summer, too!
