Sunny Summer Days

Sunny Summer Days
One sunny summer day at Saco, Grandpa Donni and I went on top of the hill to get an old ford tractor with an open cab and a hay rake to bring to the field to rake hay. It was a beautiful day, there wasn't even a single mosquito out. We hooked the hay rake up to the back of the tractor and Grandpa showed me how to shift and operate the tractor. . Grandpa told me, “before you get to the highway, go slow and look both ways before you cross, when you cross, shift into fifth gear. While you are driving to the field I’m going to get another outfit." (Outfit is grandpa’s way of saying vehicle). So once Grandpa started the tractor, I was off. When I crossed the highway, I shifted into fifth gear and I knew where I was going. The roads are all gravel and dirt. When I was driving, there was a turn off and I stopped and thought this doesn’t look like the right road, so I kept going. After I was driving for a while longer I looked back to see if Grandpa was flowing me, and sure enough there he was, following me in a blue Dodge Durango. A little further down the road, I came to the four way turn off, now I knew where I was at, so I turned left. I finally made it to the field. Grandpa showed me how to rake hay. When I rake hay, the rake pushes the hay to the side into one column.  This is the pattern I followed while driving the tractor, I drove a loop then moved over to the next two columns and did another loop. In the mean time, Grandpa began baling hay. I raked hay for a few hours. All of the sudden tractor started chugging and I thought the gas tank was close to empty. Out of no where, it stopped chugging. I exclaimed, “good girl” and patted the hood.   I never did know what went wrong with the tractor. Suddenly, it started to rain. I put Grandpas work jacket over my head that he gave me, I still kept going. Grandpa came over and told me to turn off my tractor and get into his tractor. He drove us over to the Durango, we got in and we went home.
The End

  1. What a fun story Isaac. You are so blessed to have such a great grandpa and time to farm and drive tractors with him. I bet it's hard to not be able to see him right now. Theresa

Motorcycle Mischief

                                               I'm writing this story about my dad because I thought it was funny and very clever. When my dad was about six years old, he and his older brother (my uncle) played a trick on their mother (my grandma) by using a mini Honda motorcycle. My dad wasn't allowed to ride the motorcycle because he was to young. When his mom was washing dishes, they knew she would be looking out the sink's window. They turned on the motorcycle behind the house, put it in neutral and my dad's brother gave him a strong push so it looked like he was riding the motorcycle past the window his mom was looking out. Grandma definitely saw him riding the motorcycle (as so it seemed) and raced out the door yelling, "Jeffrey! Get off that motorcycle right now!" Dad and his brother started laughing as they explained to her that it was a trick and that the m...

Pros and cons of social distancing

    There are many pros and cons to social distancing. Some pros are getting  to stay in touch with friends even though you cant see them. You also have lots of time to be outside and go on hikes, I also like getting to hang out with family and play fun bored games.     Some cons of social distancing would be not getting to go to youth group and church, but at least we can watch church online, another con is not getting to see your friends, but again at least we can text or facetime them.These are a few of my thoughts on what some pros and cons are.

Being in Quarantine

                                Nate's Blog                                               Being in quarantine has its advantages and disadvantages. For instance one good thing is that I have more time on my hands, but I can’t really spend time with my friends. One thing that keeps me occupied is watching movies that have been released early with my family and playing Xbox with my brother, but some movies and games got their release date pushed back. When I heard this I was disappointed because I was really looking forward to Jurassic world Dominion and an update for battlefront 2. Another good thing is that I can spend more time with my family.
