Slim Randles is back again as today’s Wednesday’s Guest, and I really like this essay about the state fair. I have always loved to go to fairs – the rides, the livestock barns, the funnel cakes, the cotton candy, and have I mentioned the livestock barns?

I know a cowboy cringes when the word “lovely” is attributed to anything but a pretty young lady, but Slim might just forgive me this reference. The essay is so thoughtful, and, well, yes, lovely.
First off, I want to wish all my readers in the U.S. a Happy Labor Day. I remember the Labor Day celebrations of my past, mostly a day to go to the corner to watch a parade and mark the end of summer with one last picnic before school started. After I married and joined the Miller
