This will be a wonderful addition to your other stories, Veronica. I loved the use of Tommy Cosgrove to both introduce the story and bring it full cirlce at the end. Very visual and full of the emotions of a child going to the circus. Well done!

Duffy's Circus was no different than the circus in small towns in the U.S. Same old acts, different performers. You had your mice, we had our spun sugar. Ahhh! Weren't they perfectly wonderful? Kathe
