#Shoftek!

Ramble like this anytime. I could see every part of it.
A little girl sneaking out to the barn, pulling hay through a crack for twenty cows lined up waiting for her. Your pop walking across the yard, seeing the cows at the corner, and knowing exactly where you were. I can only imagine him trying to stay mad about the hay bales.
And no, I've never felt a cow's tongue, but now I need to 😄 The squirrel story is my favorite, though. Camouflage, a pocket full of pecans, sitting still in that oak until one finally trusted you enough to sit on your head. Your pop saying it would never work, and then coming around the house to find you proving him wrong. That's you in a nutshell. Pun intended. Patient, stubborn, and you never quit.

I think he knew you weren't really helping with the chores. He just wanted you there. Now I understand why you'll keep that place, come hell or high water. Your memories sound amazing, I cant't wait for my invitation so you walk me through them with a visual.

I love that you saw that book as a bridge between two worlds. I've thought the same thing about us: two completely different lives, and somehow so much in common. What is your favorite part about the book? (besides the author being a neurosurgeon 😄.

I hope you work my dorm tomorrow.
