We can hardly wait for summer to get here. Not just because of the warmer temperatures but something even better than that!
Our granddaughter, Miss Ashton will be working for us again. She told us this wonderful news at Christmas time and we were elated!!
Ashton took a “city job” last summer even though her “Pappy” told her he would double the pay that job had offered. She told us she felt she had to go ahead with it because she had made a commitment to them.
That is all it took for us to tell her we were proud of her for honoring her commitment and that we would miss her working for us. Boy, did we!!
At Christmas time Ashton told us she would be down to work this summer if we wanted her! Our faces broke out in smiles and she knew she had the job for sure!
Then the pot was made sweeter because her Pappy told her he was going to teach her to drive the bulldozer and the pay would be more! We have so many things she can do for us and she is a hard worker.
She will be going to college in the Fall and we are hoping that she will continue to work summers for us. There is something about having a grandchild in the house that makes it full of energy!!
Ashton has been coming here since she was three years old and she knows every inch of this place and exactly how her Pappy likes things done.
It will be a wonderful summer to have her here again, guess I should not get so far ahead of myself and take every day for what it is! The Red Oak Ranch moves on!
