Fun- The Simpleness of the County Fair

One fond memory of my childhood was the County Fair in the summer time.  As I got older my mother would enlist my teenaged children to come and visit during the Tri-County Fair season.  They seemed to love to "work" for Gramma Rose.  Funny how work seemed different with her.  She would take them to the Tri-County Fair as payment of work done.  Her little fair always seemed to have the biggest names in entertainment.  My kids would come home from a week of visiting with Gramma Rose and Grampa Bruce tired and dirty.  They relayed stories of eating cookies whenever they wanted and sugared cereal.  Well, I guess the reward for being a parent is actually being a grandparent.  I look forward to spoiling my children's children and sending them home with fun memories too.
