Childhood memories are good. My family didn't have a lot of extra spending money, so I don't remember going to a lot of places and doing a lot of things. But I do have one memory of going to the Wayne County fair one year. I really don't remember much of the fair. But I do remember riding in the back seat of the car and looking out the window as we approached the fairgrounds. There was this giant multicolored Farris wheel that could be seen for what seemed like miles away.
For years Diane and I have had the privilege of taking our two oldest granddaughters to that same fair. They both learned early on that we don't get hustled by the gamers. We visit the animals and the exhibits. We eat and we ride and we eat and we ride. We just have fun. This year we even had our youngest with us. My prayer is that, to the girls, this will be one of those special times with Papa and Minga that they will remember for a very long time. Oh, and I still watch for that Farris wheel.
Making memories. Have you done that with someone you love lately?
