\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I had a full slate of activities planned for Sunday.\u00a0 Go to mass and get some religion.\u00a0 I need all of the help that I can get.\u00a0 Leave there and cruise over by Woodward and handle a set of lambs.\u00a0 The family had sheared sheep on Saturday and I needed to get my hands on them to see if we needed to make changes.\u00a0 Nothing like a set of sheep that has 2 hair sheep, a Downer, a Shrop, possible Hamp, a blue and maybe a Suffolk.\u00a0 I have to ask myself, “How did I not come up with a Dorset to complete the set?”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Made it back to the house and cooked a pizza for lunch.\u00a0 I had planned on going south of Shattuck about 1:30 to handle a set of goats.\u00a0 Then I was to meet a crew at the shop to work on projects.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0At noon, a sophomore boy called and asked if I was still coming to his place.\u00a0 I said, “Yes, unless there is a reason not to.”\u00a0 He replied, “Well, we just got out of church and my grandparents want to take me out to eat.\u00a0 I told them I needed to check with you first.”<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Now mind you, this kid wasn’t trying to get out of work.\u00a0 He was just checking in to see for sure what the plans were for the day.\u00a0 I made a quick decision and said, “Dude, you go eat lunch with the grandparents.\u00a0 That is always more important.\u00a0 I’ll see you at the shop at 2 pm.\u00a0 Does that work?”<\/p>\n
He said, “Are you sure?”<\/p>\n
“I’m real sure.\u00a0 Never miss a chance to go eat with the grandparents.”<\/p>\n
You could hear the bounce in his voice, “Thanks boss.\u00a0 See you at 2.”<\/p>\n
Tammy and I did a great job of making sure that our kids spend lots of time with both sets of grandparents.\u00a0 Our parents did the same with us.\u00a0 And I’m not going to get in the way of a student’s time with their grandparents.\u00a0 Especially on a Sunday.\u00a0 Sure, we need to make up the time working on showing goats but we will find time for that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, as I sit here on a Sunday night, I wish that I could have a sit down with any and all of my grandparents.\u00a0 \u00a0Bet some of you all have the same thoughts.\u00a0 If you still have yours, don’t miss a chance.\u00a0 The advice is free; yet… it is priceless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
People, I hope you had a good one today and a better one tomorrow.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
