Memorial Gardens
When the circus came to North Bay, Mom & Dad would take us. It was so exciting to go to Memorial Gardens. I think I remember even getting a cupey doll once. The circus was an opportunity to eat cotton candy and to throw that up on the way home. I think even once I threw up on the way to the circus, which made Wayne really made because to had to go home again as I usually threw up on both of us.

It seems to me that Mom & Dad went to town once weekly, but I think maybe it was only every 2 weeks. Often they would go when we were at school, but they would always be home by the time we walked in the door. I don’t remember one or both of them EVER not being there was we got home.
