One of Life's Best Jobs



One of life's best jobs is being a grandparent and I'm blessed nine times over!!!

Earlier this year Ashton, Erin and Bobby's six-year-old, came to spend a weekend with Grampy and me. The visit coincided with her winter break and home women's basketball games.
Ashton called me last week and read her report to me and I was totally impressed. Specifically with how much detail she remembered. Erin typed the report out exactly as Ashton wrote it. I though you'd all get a kick out of it, it's precious. I have provided some translations in red in case you couldn't figure it out).

“My FavoriteTthing About My Winter Break”

{Typed as she wrote it}

My favorite part about winter break was going to a Baylor game! I got to help my gramo the hole game! We got ther around 3:15. Me and my Grammy had to get redea. We had to get the candy for the cochis (coaches). Coch Kim likes the Hony bitse (Bits). I like the Souer appel (sour apple). My most favorit part of the game was Rachol Allison scored her 1’000th pointe! At a time out they gave Rachol a vaere spechol basketball that had her name on it. By now I think it was 25 to 14. Texas was getting beat. When you sit ware the peapol wrke you can not cheer. It has to be qite because so the peapol can wrke. My Antei Hether wrkes thar. She sits down the rowe. We sat by the end. Evrea ones in uwiol (awhile) a lady woud put a piece of paper that had the score. And the players. Now the score was 95-45. Baylor was 95 Texas was 45. I sat next to a man he called me budy (Buddy, he calls everyone that). When ever I hadide (handed) him the paper. He seid thank you budy and gave it to the man beaside him. The man next to him had a green and white T-shrt that had a yellow BU with outling on it. He was a guy whoe has a computer that shoes (shows) what is going on in case the Referea needs to see wut is hapning in case he or her maks the wrog (wrong) call. The Lady Bares were grate. I got to see the men four a bit. And then me and my granpa and grammy went to Texas Rode house. I love ther rolls with sinumin butter. I had a chees brger. I didn’t like it that much but it was good. I ate a lot of peanuts. The best part about eating peanuts is you get to throe them on the grownde. After we were finished we

Went home. I had a grate time at my gramparints houes.




Isn't that priceless, see what I mean about it being the best job in the world?

As a teacher, I can just imagine her sounding out the words and spelling them eggsacklee how they sound. Awhile should be spelled uwiole in Texas! Thanks for posting that; I love her play-by-play of the game.
