Have you ever heard the phrase, “Can’t died in the corn-patch?”It’s something my dad used to always tell me that his school teacher always told him. And that phrase has stayed with me since I was a little kid, obviously. So this last weekend was a busy weekend with baling hay at our house. I’m…
My parents started showing cutting horses when I was 5 years old. Sure they had both grown up around horses, mom showed Arabians in pleasure shows and dad had farm horses and competed in play days, but the cutting Arena was new to all of us. The day my mom came home and told my…
There was something about the weather in Louisiana. I think it rained every day except our last one there. It was CRAZY! But cool too :). Hey, I’m always up for adventure! So on Tuesday night my dad asked us if we wanted to go eat at a place called Doe’s Eat Place (300 Washington St,…
So last Saturday morning we woke up and had absolutely nothing to do. This is a rare opportunity for us to be quite honest with you. So Tbug crawled in bed with us and we watched 3 episodes of “The Middle.” By the way if you watch, can I just say how happy for Sue…
If there’s one thing anyone should know, we take excellent care of our horses (and all the other critters too!!). A few years ago KG to majorly hurt. We took him to a vet down in Oklahoma and a few hundred dollar later he was on the road to recovery. Now, KG is 19 years…
So my dad called me up last Wednesday and asked, “What are you doing tomorrow night?”~”Um… I don’t know, why?”~”What are you doing tomorrow night?”~”Well nothing that I know of, why?”~”I need someone to drive a truck for me. Peter called and hay is ready to go.”~”Okee Dokee, I’ll be there.” When I was a…
I'm sorry you lost someone you were so close too, but I love hearing your family stories!
You are so right! The Youngun is with her Granny Bob and Pop Pop right now. She loves to spend time with them, and I'd never stop her from going, even if I wish she'd stay home a little bit more. I still miss my grandparents!
She sounds like she was a wonderful person, and I'm sure she knew how much she was loved by you. What a lovely, sad story…and you're absolutely right; we do need to show our grandparents our love before it's too late. I'll spend the rest of my life regretting I wasn't a better grandchild to my grandparents.
Honestly – if I paid for my sisters education and she did that, I'd kill her! I do love her story – one day I'll share my grandmother's story, its a very hard but inspiring one!
Thanks for reminding us how important family is!
She sounds like a wonderful lady , And I be she was proud of you and the relationship you two had
I know what you mean about being grateful for all the time you knew your grandmother-I was the oldest grandkid, and was 17 when Pappy died. I have more memories than all the other kids, and it makes me sad in a way. Because they didn't get to have as much time… but I'm so grateful I did. I wish John could have met him too. It's hard losing grandparents.
What a wonderful post! She sounds like a special lady and she was fortunate that she had someone like you as a grandchild to appreciate her so much as well. 🙂
