What do ya get?



You really spoiled me this past weekend Liddy, we had hours of fun together. Great Helen and your Grandpa Tonner came to visit, it makes me happy that my Mommy can watch you grow. So not only did we get to have playtime on Saturday but you also came over to my house on Sunday for Grandpa Golden's birthday dinner. His birthday is actually today but Sunday's are good days to get together.

Did you notice the people working in your back yard? Your Daddy is putting a big pole barn behind the house. You might as well know that there will never be a dull moment with your Daddy around. He will always be buying or selling or building or fixing something. He's so much like your Grandpa Tonner. They love to work on scooters and snowmobiles or anything else they can get their hands on. You just never know what to expect. Your Mommy and Daddy saw a big racoon in the trash cans outside of your house so this weekend your Daddy sat a live trap that Grandpa Tonner brought him to catch it and take it away. Your Daddy called me at 1:00 in the morning Saturday to tell me the trap went off but guess what he caught? Not a racoon but a skunk! Well of course I didn't know what to tell him but your Grandpa Tonner knew exactly what to do. They put a cover over the cage and took the skunk for a ride in the country and left him loose. Now that's just the kind of thing I'm talking about Liddy, you never know what kind of mess them two will get you into. Well that story got us all talking about other things they had done and we had a good laugh about it. Remind your Daddy when you get older to tell you about the time that he helped Grandpa Tonner dehorn the calves. I know you are way too little now but trust me one day it will be funny to you. Great Helen had brought some pictures along of when your Daddy was a kid standing in a hole in the yard. Best they can remember is that he wanted to dig a hole so Grandpa Tonner dug a hole and filled it with water and left him play in the mud. I'll post a picture, I really don't think it needs anymore explanation. Twenty years later, things haven't changed much, if it's not holes and mud it's cages and skunks. So what do ya get when you cross a Tonner boy and his Father? Well it's a lifetime of fun that will teach you to love, laugh and live life to it's fullest. Wear your helmet on those scooters honey.



Love and Great Big Hugs, Grandma
