I went to the Puyallup* Fair with Mom a few days ago.

We mainly went to go wander Huckster Hall**. Ya know, the place where they sell the gadgets and gizmos. And I even bought a few.... Batteryless Flashlights - Between Mom and I, we actually bought 4. One for each of us and two for Christmas gifts for my bother and a friend of the family (Bill ( Read more... )
