I hope your daughter starts feeling better soon. In the Midwest, fair season runs most of the summer. Hope you can find one moderately close.

What a shame that you did not have the day that you anticipated. I hope that your daughter soon feels better, and can enjoy the belated fair trip - wherever and whenever it may happen.

Thank you for still keeping us informed of all the nonsense that is going on; at least it seems now that some of the courts are standing up to the regime and pushing back when the overreach just becomes too much to ignore. Long may that trend continue.

Oh Shanley, I feel your daughter's pain! Poor kid, missing the County Fair. I so hope she feels better soon. Is the Oregon State Fair already over? Wish I could treat all of you to that one!

As always, your extended metaphors sparkle with wit and well-controlled outrage. YES! We can only hope that wakes up and "sees the signs" that the rest of us are reading only too well.

You have such a uniquely lovely way of weaving the deeply personal into the events de jour that touch our lives as well. Thank you! Hoping your little one has a speedy recovery and fun summer fair in her near future!
