Sandye's Birthday Tractor Ride

This past weekend Mark's mom celebrated a birthday.  We struggle as to what to get the woman that has (or can make) everything.  Mark managed to come up with two gifts he thought she would find useful.  And then Mark had a fabulous idea.  (he has those alot)

Our tractor was purchased by Mark from his Grandmother's estate.  (Mark's mom's mom...got it?)  Mark's mom used to help work her family's farm on this very tractor.  She was delighted to know that Mark had purchased it and was planning on using it on our farm.  I think she likes knowing it lives close by and is being well cared for.  As a matter of fact we just had extensive work done to ole Fergie.  She is running better than ever.  

So Mark decided to drive Fergie over to the party and offer his mom a little ride.  Let me tell you...she was grinning from ear to ear!  I think this Birthday memory will last a long time.
