Beneath the Wraps

                    We had lived in Douglas County less than two months the first time we had gone to the DC fair.   I know we overspent.   It was worth the smile on Jenna’s face.   It seems like there was more distance to cover that first year than this year.           Though the fair is held every year, we have not gone to it each year.   I think it was just a matter of lack of funds in 2016.   Jenna and Roland went for a few hours in 2017.   The elements that surrounded that year were hot and smoky and I chose not to go.   They   had dressed vegetables and were gone for just a few hours.           I don’t know that Jenna had even considered last year as she and Roland were performing in Robin Hood.   This year she decided she wanted to go and we would take Marie. ...

from last year               Friends of Myrtle Creek Library did not have a booth this year.   Jenna was bummed as she desired to lure others to the booth as she had last year.             While at my swim class, one of the women stated that she would be manning the booth for the Riddle Library.   How awesome.   When I returned home, I let Jenna know about it.             Turns out that it wasn't a booth for the library after all, but rather the sawdust jubilee which is held the Saturday before July 4.   They had actually held it on the 4th every year until this year. It just wasn't conducive for many volunteers to put in the hours and try to work the next day.   There is a disappointment among many, but I for one understand the dilemma.       ...
