Anna and Pops walked the property line surveying the new pressure treated fence. She didn’t care about the fence until the neighbor called complaining about Pops’ cows in his field. Pops refused to do anything more than patch it, but the cows pushed through his feeble fixes. Tired of the drama Anna coughed up the cash to replace it ending the drama. Pops was proud of his new fence and the neighbor’s field was cow free.
“So, Pops, when are you getting rid of this pile?” she asked.
“Why would I get rid of this? I might need it someday.”

My husband is “Pops” to our grandkids, which made me smile as I read. I hope one day our little “Allie” will be as patient with us as your Anna is with her Pops. 🙂
