Kathryn came in from doing chores last night with deep concerns. She had nearly hit a fence with the Steiner lawn tractor. For a long time now, her brother and sister have fussed over the fact that she was the only one in the family that didn't know how to drive the thing. She, on the other hand, was quite happy to walk. So, recently, I notice the tractor going down the driveway, swerving from one side to the other. I thought to myself that I needed to get after Thomas for goofing off while driving the thing. Much to my surprise, when the driver stepped off, it was Kathryn. It seemed Thomas had finally convinced her it was time and wouldn't take no for an answer.
Supposedly, she had been doing better and according to Thomas, she could do it alone. Well, last night she was less than thrilled. She had been trying to slide the knobby thingy from "rabbit to turtle" (those were her exact words) when she ended up going off the driveway and toward the fence. Thomas says she stopped in plenty of time, but that doesn't mean he will get her back on the tractor anytime soon.
If she takes a page from my book, she won't be driving any tractors until she has been married for 12 years or so.
PS: Daddy and Thomas haven't gotten a deer yet. There are plans in the works to stake out a spot in the woods this weekend. Updates when available.......
