Forever ago, I works for the local fair over the summer and had the most amazing time ever!! The memories are to die for and some of the friends I made will never go far from my heart.

I was working with a group of my friends who ran the concession stands for when the fair came to our area of the country, we were the only area of the country that both parts of the fair came together and combined their magic. I was so in love with the way my friends made their food and best of all fresh squeezes lemonade!! My all time favorite!!

My favorite part of the 4 week experience was when Justin gave a traveling gypsy and her brother some free food though... the woman told him to come by her booth for a free reading and he told her he couldn't accept but he would make sure that I came by for a reading! I was amazed by the gesture and in many ways unsure but who refuses a free reading from a gypsy??

The reading started off as fun and games with Justin as I waiting for her to finish with a paying customer. We joked about the gator quads near her tent and played around for a while, then he left me to my reading.

At first, I was skeptical because as she tested the waters it sounded like she thought Justin was my boyfriend. I explained to her that Justin had a boyfriend and they ran the concession stand that I help run. Then she got all weird and proclaimed that my current boyfriend was cheating on me, that we would split over money and that I would soon after meet the love of my life....

Gypsy Readings and Phrophecies
I was so nervous to go to the reading that Justin had arranged for me that he practically forced me to go. He made me a fried oreo and said, "Come on, let's go wait for the Gypsy lady's next opening!" with a big smile on his face, "I'm not letting you get out of this!" Neither of us were sure of where her tent was so we wandered around the fair grounds for a bit getting our bearings on where a little bit of everything was. We had met her at our last fair tear down and today was our first day at our new opening. Justin got excited when he saw that they had those gator type quad things that could pass as golf carts so we walked down closer to them. Telling me about how I had no choice on finding this lady because of the slack he had already gotten from Terry. We were both glad to see the Gypsy woman's tent right there at the end of the road next to our destination, she was hard to miss with her beautiful rug type design of a tent in reds, greens and blues. The tent was filled with wind chimes and candles, she had an amazingly gorgeous rug that almost looked like a polar bear on the floor of her tent and a glass table with strange but beautiful cards and a glass ball on it. We goofed around in one quad then on to the next one, laughing and poking at each other like siblings would do in a moment of boredom. When she looked in my direction to call me over Justin informed me that he was heading back and I would be going in alone that we would see each other back at the little red wagon, waiting for conversation, where we were making fair food for passers-by. I wanted him to stay so badly, I was extremely nervous and had no idea what to expect. I had never done anything like this before and working at the fair in general was a big new adventure for me already. ............ My mother had been to a psychic who had predicted my birth and my best friends birth, telling our mothers that they were pregnant with best friends before they even knew they were pregnant with us. I always loved that story when our mothers would bring it up but it seemed so unreal and my best friend never took any word of it to heart. I had a feeling that this visit to my own reading was going to bring light to some deep dark secrets though and no matter how scared I felt deep down I knew I was going through with this. .......... As I approached the tent a calm entered my soul that made me feel a bit better, I decided that her quartz crystals and the amazing fragrance of lavender and myrrh had been the culprit of that mystic power. The hefty woman in belled coverings sent her brother off to do whatever his heart pleased him most, telling him she was going to give me a better reading than she had planned for the young man that turned her reading down and gave it to me. I heard her mutter that she saw something special in me, that she couldn't quite figure out just yet and she wanted to investigate further, that her curiosity would be her only payment needed with this one. She trailed off in a quieter voice that I couldn't hear, sometimes sounding like she was speaking a new language. I wasn't sure what she meant but her brother rushed off like a child in a candy shop to explore the fair grounds on his own as happy as could be. I watched as she lit incense of some sort and lit candles, then she started to close the tent opening and dim the outside world out. I hadn't seen her do this with the previous reading so I wasn't sure what to expect. She must have noticed the look on my face because she automatically told me, "Get comfortable sweetheart, we're going to have a bit more privacy so I can give you a proper reading. We may be here for a while." I sat there waiting for her to finish going back n forth from one end of the tent to the other. She had me seated on a beautiful periwinkle lounge chair that had huge velvet feeling pillows thrown here and there. Nothing in the tent matched and I absolutely loved looking at all the bobbles around me. I leaned back to get comfortable and felt the same calming feeling as before as I inhaled the air surrounding me, the smells over took my tension and massaged my insides like a magic wand had been used to command me to relax. Her first question was strange.... "The boy you were here with? is he your boy friend?" she seemed unsure of her own question and I almost wanted to leave with how wrong she was on her very first question.... but I stayed. "Oh no... no, no, no..." I giggled at the thought. "Justin has a boy friend! as a matter of fact Terry runs the concession stands and Justin helps in any way he can but I'm just a friend. I'm working to make some money and have some new experiences, I've never done anything like this before." "Good" she went on... "I was getting mixed vibes from you while the two of you were playing over there earlier and I wasn't sure what to make of it but now I can see more clearly. " she moved some things around a bit more and then ended up moving a large comfy forest green almost corduroy like chair closer to the lounge I was sitting on. "They are your boy friends friends correct? this seems to all be a new and exciting adventure for you." I wasn't sure what to say so I sat in silence as she combined some stuff that looked like essential oils and herbs. When she was finished she took my hands and started massaging the mixture into them. Starting from my wrist and working all the way to my finger tips she sent pleasant vibrations throughout my whole body with the sweet but spicy aroma. When she was done she seemed ready to get started and began looking over my hands, from the top to the bottom looking deep into each crevice, soft spot and scar with the most loving looks, as if she was taking a glance into my past and maybe even my future. When she finished this, she noticed I was sitting in silent anticipation just watching her do her thing and she closed my fist to count some lines on the crease of my balled up hand. She stopped, seeming deep in thought and then she looked me deep in my eyes and I knew she was ready to begin. Moving herself to the table she grabbed her cards and she started to shuffle them as she hummed a hypnotic tune. Some how I felt like I knew the sound, like I had heard it before but wasn't sure of where I had or even when I had heard it before.. Strange.... She set them down in front of me, "Cut the deck and then tap it twice." she watched as I followed her directions. I had seen terat cards before but non as beautifully made as hers. They felt as if they were alive.... they were made of leather and very old, with the most amazingly real looking roses and herbs sketched onto them as if they were truly growing in another world that could be seen through the cards but not touched. She smiled kindly at me as if she could hear my thoughts and then she started laying cards out on the table. I watched as she lay the first of three cards down, then flipped it and I wasn't sure of the meaning. I had mixed feelings for the cards as she lay two more down but left them face down. She looked at me lovingly and asked me what my thoughts were about the first card. "It's beautiful and worrying at the same time, the rose at the center seems as if it's growing more beautiful every second and the thorns surrounding it look as if they're getting thicker and more menacing. It seems the rose is in danger but doing a wonderful job of protecting itself through the process." at that moment she got a twinkle in her eye as if she saw something that I had no idea on what but her smile was brightening as the moments went by. "Do you see anything else?" she prompted. I was positive that this wasn't a typical reading by now and that this was why she had dimmed the room. I gazed into the card laying on the table and then I noticed that the leaves weren't leaves at all, they were money and that there were more roses off in the distance that the original rose I had seemed to be protecting.... she saw in my eyes that I caught her point and looked at me as if she were searching my soul for the right words to say without sending me into a panic. "You will go through trials of pain in this first season to come, a great betrayal is going to shake your faith and you will make a choice to protect yourself and your loved ones. Do not trust the one you call boy friend.... he will betray you for money after a moment of great joy for you and through jealousy of your happiness he will hurt you emotionally in many ways." and then as if to say that was all for that part of the reading she placed a new card in front of me up right and looked at me as if she was waiting to hear my thoughts on it once again. I wasn't sure what to make of this card it seemed as if there was an ever lasting path that just kept going and someone standing a bit down the path, no words were there and the card was in no way as pretty or detailed as the first one more like shadows of a memory from the past or an adventure towards the future. Her eyes widened at my thoughts and I felt indecent as if she had been listening in on my private thoughts this whole time. That couldn't be though.... that wasn't possible... was it? "This one symbolizes someone from your past preparing to come back into your life, it could be someone that stands out or someone you've never considered and an adventure that has been impatiently waiting to unfold." she revealed as she placed the final card up right next to the rest... so I was right again which was creepy but interesting in many ways. The last card was bright and beautiful, I was drawn to it as if it was meant for me, which I mean it was. I shook my head to bring myself back into reality and she giggled at my reaction. A very happy woman and man stood dead center holding hands with flowers falling around them and children dancing around. The sun shone brightly and in the background I saw a river and thick dense woods. They seemed so in love and I looked away as if to say there was no way I could ever have that, my life was a mess and I just couldn't see that much love and happiness for myself. A tear dropped from the Gypsy woman's eye and I could see something was bothering her. Was she in my mind?? She cleared her throat and seemed to go into a trance as she looked at me. "The ones you love shall betray you in ways you could never imagine but in your moment of glory you will find a man from the past that you never gave a chance or noticed. Your journey will be long and harder than ever before, you will have many trials to work through but the 5th child you crave and the bond you are looking for lay in wait with this lover. Your future is in your own hands, do not dwell on our meeting and do not come searching for more. Everything will reveal its true meaning in time. Your dreams are still within reach and very much possible. " she shook her head as if shaking away something unseen. "What happened? " she asked as if lost. Her brother rushed in at the sight of her confusion and told me that our reading was over, his sister needed her rest she had done to much in this reading. As I walked out of the tent she whispered, "Do not fear the next chapter in your journey, you will be the one to save them all...." she trailed off and I wasn't sure how to take it all in. ........ My ex doesn't deserve an entry in my story so I'll give some details without his involvement. ..... My eldest son got himself dropped off on my door step with only a black garbage bag filled with clothes and garbage. I'll go into this subject further at another point but at this time I had 4 children. My youngest would be turning 2 (Johnie) near the end of the year, my second youngest (Sammy) was my only daughter who had just turned 6, my second born (Alex) was 7 and my eldest (Brian) was 11, we had been through a great deal in my eldests life time and most of it not good things but he loved me very much. My mother hated me and had been keeping my 3 older children from me but Brian had other plans. The male that was to betray me stole cash out of my wallet and stole my medication as he bashed me verbally for things out of my control. He hated the sight of my happiness and tore me down as often as he could after my eldest came to live with me. He then attempted to steal a vehicle from my father and successfully got way more money out of my Dad and myself than I'd like to admit, which settled my mind on leaving. After dealing with hell from him we finally left soon after New Years and I declared that this year would be a better year for all of us. We stayed in a hotel for a few weeks and then found a family friend to stay with. I had no idea that the choices I had made would lead me further into the prophecy that I had been given only one summer ago. ...... A cousin of a cousin offered me a place to stay, he had a friend that was working with him and was going to help me get my things into the house. I was waiting in the car for him to show up outside. My son's quietly waiting with me, as the snow came down thick and heavy I watched between the house and the vehicles in the driveway for my help to arrive. The strangest thing happened when he finally approached. It was like I felt drawn to him, I had no clue who to expect and wasn't even sure if I knew him but an ora seemed to radiat off of him as he walked toward us covered in snow in a hoody and thick winter overalls. I wasn't sure what had just come over me but soon it would all start to unfold. I shook it off when I was informed that he had a girl friend and then I really tried to shake it off when I found out that he was one of my friends ex's with whom she had 2 children with.... It was horrible being around him knowing how much I was drawn to him so I tried to avoid him but that was pretty much impossible. His girl friend for some reason wanted to be my friend and his ex had been joking about wanting me to break them up, I'm not actually sure that it was ever a joke but she tried to cover it up as one. I hated seeing how she treated him and hearing the way she talked about him but I hungout with her since she was my only transportation and I didn't want to walk in snow with my children. Everything changed the day they showed up and he had a huge gash in his eye lid from working on a vehicle and getting a loose part to the face.... "No! You can not touch my eye! I don't care how dirty it is, get away from me!" Mark shouted... I looked over in wonder as he yelled at his girlfriend, he had mechanic oil and grease mixed with blood coming from his eye lid and from what I could see a small scratch on his eye. The group requested that I come with on the ride to pick up food and some tools they had left behind so I tagged along. They did this often when they wanted a new opinion added, I'm also guessing that Mark and his girl friend argued less when I was around.. Mark always drove and made sure his girl friend was in the back seat away from him, I never saw any type of love between them or bond. We stopped at a gas station and everyone went in other than me and Johnie my youngest, Brian my oldest was at school. Mark came back right away and handed me a drink as he started telling me how bad his eye hurt he asked if I remembered him. I did remember him and this was our first time being alone to talk, I was surprised that he brought up us already meeting each other. I asked if he wanted a baby wipe to clean his face, I always had them on hand since I had children. "Will you wipe my face for me??? I don't want to hurt myself since I can't see anything..." his question caught me off guard with how he had spoke to everyone else earlier, he was always so nice to me. I wasn't ever sure why he treated me different from everyone else. All I replied with was "Look at me..." looking his face over. "I'll get you cleaned up in no time." he smiled and looked into my eyes as I took one wipe and then two to wipe all the grease off of his face. I felt his gaze as I got closer to wiping his eye off. "What are you doing? I thought you didn't want anyone touching you?" she snapped as she got in the car. "I told YOU not to touch me!!" he roared at her and she went silent. Then he turned to look at me again, "Will you finish cleaning it when we get back to the house?" I nodded seeing nothing wrong with cleaning his wound since I was a mother after all and I knew how to tend to wounds of all types, his eye looked really bad in my opinion. ........ When we got back to the house, he made no effort of waiting on me to finish. His eye was red but surprisingly not swollen, the bleeding had stopped but as I looked closer it seemed to have a piece of metal in it so I got my tweezers and plucked it out for him before continuing. He didn't budge, not one complaint, he just stood there looking deep into my soul as if he had felt the same way that I had been trying to hide. I wiped the rest of his wound off and looked at his eye, declaring that he was good to go. As I worked on a sketch, he sat across the table from me looking over a computer to a vehicle they were in the middle of getting going properly and I felt his foot graze mine thinking it was a mistake I moved my foot. My little Johnie made his way over to Mark and requested a spot on his lap, which was unusual for him but I wasn't about to stop him and Mark did as he requested talking to him about the vehicle computer he had been going over. I snuck taking some of my first and most cherished pictures of those two as it all unfolded but then had to get up as I realized Mark was playing footsy with me under the table on purpose. ............ To be honest, this wasn't the first time Johnie had shown interest to Mark. The first time he was only like 6 months old and wasn't a very happy camper about males being anywhere around him because of the way his biological father left us. Another story for another day.... Mark's ex and mother of 2 of his children brought him over to my place and told him not to be surprised if Johnie cried if he looked at him or spoke to him, which was a regular thing for him for a long time. Well... Marky walked in and Johnie scooted is booty right over to him in a crab crawl style that he did and then proceeded to try to crawl up him... all I heard was, "I thought you said he didn't like guys?" and I laughed a bit, "he seems to like me for some reason....." I walked in to talk to my friend and at that moment Marky started an argument with me about my Chevy tattoo and left.... Later that day I got a call from my cousins Dad telling me he had a young man there saying he was going to marry me someday!! I laughed so hard when he told me it was Marky.... I explained that I had only just met him that day and that he was crazy for wanting to marry me when he didn't know me. He later told me that it was love at first sight, he didn't know how or why but he knew he would marry me someday. .............. The next day, after I cleaned his eye up he showed up looking for my cousins cousin, who wasn't there and I wanted to ask him to stay and keep me company but before I could work up the courage he was gone. ............ I heard nothing but the constant running of his girl friends mouth after that, everything and anything she could complain about when it came to him was all I heard and she was driving me crazy. I finally announced on a day she wasn't there that I couldn't deal with her anymore and soon after she text me that she was breaking up with Mark and going back home where her family was in Texas. I wasn't sure why she felt the need to tell me, I had really never even attempted to be her friend but I'm guessing she needed someone so badly that she was going to force the friendship on me one way or another. I told her I thought it was for the best since from what I saw there was no love or even lust to their relationship, then told her that I wasn't sure where Mark was, after she had asked if he was at the house. I hadn't seen anyone all day so far and the guys didn't have phones on them that I knew of. A couple hours later they walked in the door with a huge flat screen TV and pizza. I wasn't sure what was going on when Mark pulled a cell phone out of his pocket, I had never known him to have a phone. Like for real, he was the type of guy that didn't want a phone that way he could vanish when he wanted to. I had a habit of doing that myself also. Not my business, I thought and walked off to the bathroom.... Johnie started playing with the door and of course Mark was in his usual seat, which was right in view of me. I hoped he wouldn't notice but he did and I begged Johnie to stop. Mark blushed but walked over to get Johnie to stop when he realized there were other males planning to come see me sitting on the toilet. My hero!! I could have kissed him right then and there!! I was so glad that he did and secretly thanked him later. "So, I hear your single? What's up with the new phone?" I smirked... "Please don't tell her I'm here or that I have a phone." worry crossed his face. "Your secret is safe with me... not my business anyways, I'm not sure why she told me in the first place." "s**t!" my cousins cousin shouted.... "This TV needs to go back.... help me find all the parts to the box!" As we looked everywhere some parts were just not being found. Being the cluts I am I got on a roller chair and lost my balance, can you guess who caught me?? if you guessed Marky you were right, it was like he was always there at the right time. I went to look downstairs and he followed me so I booty bumped him on my way up the stairs. After that he practically wouldn't leave my side and we ended up in my room wrestling over my phone because I had taken a picture of him playing with Johnie and my cat Mr. Clouders. He wanted to see and delete the pictures so badly and when he finally got my phone from me I pinned him up against the wall as he put my arms behind my back and I realized our faces were only inches away from each other. We stood there tangled up with each other staring into each other's eyes as if in a trance and then I said, "Are you going to kiss me or not?" and he did for a moment then stopped as if to see if this was real and then kissed me again. Johnie and Brian came in causing me to pull away. We planned to see each other later in secret. He promised that he would be back that night but things got complicated when the girl friend told him if he didn't take her back she would call the cops about his warrant for unpaid child support of children the mother no longer had. Why any female would want a man she had to trap I will never understand but even after her breaking up with him she was forcing him to be with her.... I was hurt but honestly determined to get him out of this situation at this point. She wouldn't even let him bathe alone... I had seriously never seen a female so abusively obsessed. He laid with her after his shower until she fell asleep and then pretended to go in the bathroom but shut the door and came in my room instead. Love me or hate me.... I really don't care.... I f****d him and sucked him so good that he literally got down on one knee and asked me to marry him that night!! I laughed thinking he was joking and told him I'd have to think about it. The next morning, the first moment he could get me alone, he asked if I had thought about it and I had no clue what he was talking about. He says, "I asked you to marry me??" "Wait.... you were serious??" I responded. "Yes!! Marry me!?!?" "Yes..... I'm not sure this is a good idea right now but yes Marky I'll marry you!" I whispered, "but first you have to leave her... we have to get you out of this situation. " .................. The day before Valentines Day my phone was going off non stop with her wanting to know where he was but I turned my phone off. He had packed a bag and left her at his parents house to stay with me. She followed through with her threat to call the cops but since he didn't legally live there they had no legal right to enter the property. We were so happy to be together and my children loved him so very much. He helped Alex and Brian with their homework and he loved Johnie so very much. Things were complicated with my daughter as she was being abused at my mother's but the state would do nothing about it. Any time something happened to Sammy my mother hid her from me, I still wish to this day that I would have just kept her and ran away, far, far away to protect her from all the abuse that no one ever believed was happening. My cousins cousin got weird with me and we moved in with my Dad for a short time, getting married on paper in process and she once again called the cops about my then husband's warrant but to everyone's surprise I had money borrowed and him bailed out before they even booked him in at the jail. I relished in posting every picture I could of us together after that since he was free from her control at that point and we spent our first night as a married couple together.
