State Fair and the Train

For the first time in over a year I not only felt like I had the energy to spend the day doing something that I knew would be exhausting, I did it!! Yesterday we went to the Texas State Fair..and if you are not familiar with it man is it HUGE!!! The Cotton Bowl sets in the middle of the fair grounds! Its crazy! A state fair generally run 10 days..the Texas fair runs 24 days! So to avoid issues with driving in traffic and parking we decided to take the train! The TRE runs through Fort Worth and Dallas so we got on it in Richland Hills (about 10 minutes from our house) and took it to Downtown Dallas, there we caught the Dart which is the Dallas version of a subway system to get you around Dallas. The Dart took us to the fair grounds..one way trip was just over an hour and by car would have been longer and bonus of not having to find parking! Wohoo! It was the first time I had ever road a train and it was so cool! I told Bruce I was going to search for other things to do in Dallas just to take the train! HaHa. We had a good time at the fair, we watched dog shows, Frisbee catching dogs, weave pole racing dogs, aqua jumping completion, and dancing dogs! It was very entertaining! We saw the human cannonball and the dude almost missed his net on landing...Yikes! He saw the Marine Drum and Bugle Corp perform, that was a site to be seen all those Marines! Also listened to a Scottish bagpipe band perform. Bruce played some games on the midway and won me too stuffed puppy dogs. We only rode one ride...the bumper cars! LOL! It was blast slamming my car into his! We walked through the exhibits where he bought me a cross necklace that I so love! We left home about 8am and got back about 9pm. The biggest thrill of the day was I actually had the energy to get through the day, oh I was tired when we got home but it was a different tired than I have experienced the last year! It was a tired from being on the go all day not a fatigued no energy sick tired! A month ago I never would have made it through the day and it would have taken days if not longer to recuperate from that! Today I was ready to go again, but we spent most of the day cleaning the yard, mowing, weed eating and pulling weeds from the flower beds! I truly feel that the cancer thing is so behind me and nothing but good blessings are in my future. Praise God!
