If a picture’s worth a thousand words, I wonder how many a song is worth? (aklikins, what do you think?)
Herself, in her spider getup. :-)
India the pomeranian in her Spider costume
Ignore me sounding extremely silly. Focus on the puppy. So cute, the puppy. :-)
I made Meep a holiday costume:
I lightened the background of the photo some — or tried to, at any rate — so you can see the antlers!

aklikins and I were heading home from Ken’s Corny Korn Maze 1(which is *waaaaay* Southeast of Raleigh) and stopped at a Chick-fil-A for dinner.The night manager was talking with a young Asian girl who was applying for a position.
I think the manager was trying to determine the applicant’s level of comfort with English when he asked: “Where’d you learn to speak English at?”
1 It took us an hour and a half. My excuse was that it was dark.
Or so Templeton the Rat sang, and I’d have to agree. aklikins 1 and I went to the NC State Fair last night and I did pig out mightily. A corn dog, a fried potato-spiral thing (sometimes known as “butterfly chips”), and a fried dough (aka “elephant ear”, aka “big lump of fried covered in powdered sugar”) all made their happy way into my “bellah”
In the “to go” food category, two “monster bags” of cotton candy await me at home. Oh, and fudge. And candied almonds.
And then there was the Candy Castle, a “pick-your-candy-by-the-pound” place that sucked Adrian and me in, to the tune of 2 lbs. of Tootsie “Frooties” (which I’d never seen before), BB Bats, Laffy Taffy, Atomic Fireballs, etc. etc. 2
Ride-wise, we did the great big Ferris Wheel, the Zipper, the Fireball, the swings, the bumper cars and the (can’t remember the name of it, but it was like this).
The fireworks were *amazing* — the new “sparklies” are so very very pretty.
1 His first NC State Fair ever, despite having lived in Raleigh for more than a decade!
2 Yes, I know: sweet tooth, much?
