The nieces and nephew walked down to visit this week. As we were in the yard talking, a green tractor could be seen coming up the road toward the house.
The nephew started jumping up and down, "It's Papa! It's Papa!" He and his sisters frantically waved in hopes that Papa would see them and stop to say hi.
My sister knowing that Papa is not able to drive the tractor right now told them that it wasn't Papa but probably the man that he gets to help him. So still frantically waving & jumping up & down, they started shouting, "It's Mr. Dan! It's Mr. Dan!"
As the tractor came closer we realized it was the highway department mowing the sides of the road. But that didn't stop the excitement. "They're mowing, Aunt K! They mowed your yard!" (I secretly wished they had been able to mow the whole yard). "Let's watch them mow our yard!" And off they took to see the highway men go past their driveway.
But let me say the men driving the tractor & the truck following had smiles on their faces when they saw how eager the nieces and nephew were greeting them. They both waved as well they could while operating their respective vehicles.
