We are finally on our way. After years of playing best friends and wanting one another but not knowing the other felt the same way we had that great dinner. It was an amazing restaurant and we had a table in the very back. The table was set for eight but apparently our friends are ass hats and we were the only two that showed, well showed on time, but we wil...
Glen and Emma had been together for a good five years or so. Things were hot between them for a good while, but like all long term relationships things cooled over time. It was normal, natural, and though they both had periods of sexual frustration, they made time for each other when they could and were loved well and mostly content. Sadly, life set them ba...
That day was a day of firsts. I had not been on a roller coaster in so many years that it was like a first. Hell, spending the day at the fair going on rides was a first. It was two years since my ugly second divorce, and I had settled into a routine. When I go to the state fair, it’s usually to see the sights, mingle with the people and enter the lame conte...
I love the County Fair! I had been a "County Fair Princess" in my teens. And even when I wasn't an ambassador for the County, I worked every year at the fair; registering participants, clerking for judges, setting up displays. I loved the fair early in the morning.

"Sarah, come on. It'll be fun," Jenny pleaded. "Fun? Two weeks in the boonies? Pigs and cows and shit everywhere? I know you Jenny... that's not your idea of fun," Sarah retorted. Sarah knew there was a history from Jenny's last visit to her cousins' farm and it was very unlike Jenny not to share every detail, especially if there was guys and sex involved...
"He's miscounted again," Ada said. She took the thirteenth apple of the dozen she'd bought and held it up to the light from the window in Aunt Martha's kitchen. It was lustrous. Everything about Slater, Missouri, was lustrous when lifted up for comparison with the Natoma, Kansas, she had so recently escaped. "Who's miscounted what, Dear?" Martha asked as sh...
Never doubt the power of a Witch's Circle, I know now that I never will. Let me tell you why and about what happened to me on a late afternoon in mid-spring a few years ago. I'm an average looking guy, about average height, 5-foot 7, average build, average everything and happily married for many years. I just happen to be involved in the Renaissance Fair c...
Ada was in ecstasy. Just by going down the Pike, pulling an amused Charles Raven behind her, she was transported to Rome, Jerusalem, Paris, the Tyrolean Alps, Siberia, an Eskimo village, Japan, and a floating trip through the whole Creation. Her world was limitless now, just as she had known it would be if only she could get to the St. Louis World's Fair. Th...
Joan was fixing supper while Ron was clearing up the living room of the small trailer in which they lived. They were having company coming. Pete and his girl friend Loretta. They worked with Pete and saw him almost every day but hadn't met his girl before. They had seen pictures and she was pretty but a little heavy. "All the more to love claimed Pete and c...
