Cricket County


Below is a play cover by Eddie McPherson. The synopsis of the play goes something like this:
Oswald Tippenhimmer and his city family take their country cousins from Cricket County to the Colorado Mountains for Christmas this year.  This trip, however, isn’t exactly offered from the kindness of their hearts – but is an attempt to get on Grandma Taylor’s good side so she will include them in her will since she and her Cricket County family inherited late Uncle Zeke’s millions.
Once they arrive at the ski lodge, they find the owners are trying to get their aging grandfather back to the retirement home so they can better attend to their failing business. 
However, Gramps, as they call him, would rather stay and spend Christmas with the only family he has left.Oswald gets an idea:  If he can get Gramps to court lonely Grandma Taylor,  she will surely be grateful enough to leave the city bunch some of her inheritance money.
It’s a lesson in appreciating our elderly.   We should love everyone in our world – even those who can’t do anything for us in return.
