Knowledge

We went and visited Grandpa and Grandma Ballard this evening. Grandma Ballard turned 82 today. I love visiting with them. I asked her what her favorite birthday year so far has been and she said I can tell you which one wasn't. She said on her 9th or 10th birthday her teacher got mad at her and made her stay after school. She paused for a minute and said it was probably Mrs. Robinson, I never liked her. I asked her what she could have done to make her teacher angry and she said I probably talked too much. We both laughed. I realized that is where Kyle gets it. Kyle can talk and talk and talk, a trait I wish I had. Sure I can talk but he can talk to anyone about anything.

Gus turns 3 on Tuesday and Grandpa was asking him about it. Gus can tell you his birthday is November 12th, it sounds more like nomber 12. He will also tell you he is turing free (3). Grandpa proceeded to tell him that when he was 3 he lived out on the ranch in Cane Beds. His parents were homesteading out there. Gus loves the ranch so he thought that was pretty neat. Grandpa always tells Gus that he is his best cowboy and thanks for helping the cowboys out at the ranch.

We gained a lot of knowledge today in the 30 short minutes we were at Grandpa and Grandma's house. We have made it a point to go and visit them more frequently as of late, and every time we leave we say we were glad we stopped. We often don't take the time and find it kind of a hassle to go and visit but every time we do I am glad we went and thankful for the knowledge they gave us.
