Traditions

Every year my step dad Larry takes a one week trip to Canada to do some fishing. My mom likes to surprise Larry with the lawn mowed when he returns. One less thing he has to do. However, my mom doesn't mow the lawn. So each summer in August, I go out to my moms and mow for my moms surprise (think its not so much of a surprise now) for Larry. Today I think I counted about 8 years of this tradition.

Today was that day. I push mowed the front and then got to drive the sweet Gravely around the back yard. Honestly, I love mowing. It's such quality alone time.

When I got done, I liked the results as did my mother. Sure Larry will appreciate one less thing on his 'to do' list when he gets home.

Today I am thankful for traditions. :)
