A tractor in my yard!  Yes. I happily have all of my stuff together this morning. When the bell rang, I was walking down the hall right behind my class ready to head home (something that NEVER happens as I always work at least 2 hours after school is out).  I come straight home – to find an old antique tractor in my yard!  Why?  Because my dad has bought a tractor and a motorcycle today.  And why is the tractor in my yard? Because he doesn’t have room to work on it anywhere else!  And they were such good deals he just HAD to buy them. After all, if they run, they will be worth SOOOO much more than he paid even if he has to buy a few ford tractor parts and harley parts before they are good to go. *sigh*  Most of the time I am so thankful to have family so close, but today when I came home to this big pile of “junk” in my yard (oh and did I mention that he’s charging the battery and his tools on my outlets – my electricity), I think about how peaceful it would be to just live A MILE down the road.  :)
