My new 6-year-old bestie for the day. A lot to learn at a home and septic inspection, but in between we checked the barn and the garage, we walked around the pond to see if we could find any frogs, we played on the swing set, we found a future club house that he can hang in when his grandma buys the house, we walked the trail around the backyard to try to find the best Christmas tree to cut down, we checked the pellet stove where I told him that the wood pellets look like rabbit food, he determined that I was 770 years old and his grandma was 120. We played games and read a story about a hamster. We took turns raking leaves into a big pile so he could jump in them, although I’m pretty sure after his one turn raking he decided that he didn’t want to rake anymore and that I should do it again. He asked how old I really am, I told him, and we determined that I was kind of old. He then asked how old my husband is and when I told him two years younger, he said, “But wait, I thought the guy was supposed to be older than the girl.” We helped grandma design the spaces in this home, but one of my favorite parts he said to me while he was eating his snack was that he couldn’t wait for his grandma to live here because he loves it here. Today was a good day, and to my new pal…can’t wait to hang with you again little dude.
