On Friday evening, my daughter and I headed north on I-45 toward the State Fair of Texas. We've made lots of memories there in years past, but I'd not been back since my divorce in 2002.
Despite me "nearly killing" her with my driving, and her phone diving into my open cup of coffee, the trip was a good one. I've always said, it isn't what you do, but who you do it with that makes things fun. It was a special weekend and I'm grateful for the new memories we made.

OMG is that fried okra?!?
ReplyDelete... Just one of the many things I miss about Texas.
Your day sounds like such a winner, chock-full of memories. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, it is! That was the most delicious stuff we ate all day. :-)
DeleteSounds like a great time! Sorry to hear about Big Tex.
ReplyDeleteI miss the days of going to the Texas State Fair, meeting up with y'all. I'm glad you got to go together. Precious memories.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more! I've never been to the Texas State Fair, of course, but I agree about the fun part being the time spent with your daughter.

That was really something about Big Tex. I haven't been to the Fair in a few years, but I may have to go to next years' to see the new one! My son was there a few days before the fire and just happened to pose in front of Big Tex! Looks like y'all had a good time!
