Dear Farmer took a vacation for Depot Days in Amboy, IL. In years past Dear Farmer has gone to the fund-raising event and enjoyed the tractors and the cars...this year it rained. The rain makes it a little harder to REALLY enjoy walking around and looking at parked tractors or cars. But we did make it to the parade! A parade to beat all other parades!!! Mostly because we had family in the parade, but then there's also the candy. We waved to our Great-Oldies driving the models named after the alphabet, and each child snatched (easily) a pound of candy each (which stayed at Fabulous Aunt and Uncle's house). It was actually just a vacation away from the reality of life. The one where Dear Farmer could watch someone else drive the tractor, see someone else's hard work, and sit back and eat all the cereal he wanted to...
Every so often we need those...a vacation to watch a parade...it refreshes us as we face reality once again.
