Writer's Workshop: #4

Once again thought I would do some writing along with MamaKat - Writer's Workshop:

The Prompts:

1.) Define goodness...joy...sorrow...and anger using pictures you've taken.

2.) Tomorrow I will do it differently. Here's how...

3.)Describe a 'sound' from your childhood. What was it? When did you hear it? What does it bring to mind?

4.) I remember when...

5.) Right now is the best time to start. What's your first step?

I remember when I was riding around on my grandfather's tractor on the property when I was about 6 or 7 years old. I would sit upon his lap and "help" him steer the tractor, move dirt or brush. One day, we were riding around on the tractor moving dirt by the garage. The edge of the bucket on the tractor hit the top of the garage and went through the wall. Now, my grandfather says to me " oh no, we just crashed, don't go in and tell grandma." Well that all it took for a 6 year old, that liked to tattle tail, to hop off the tractor and run as fast as I could into the house to tell my grandma that papa had crashed into the garage. She thought that he was hurt or it was a major crash. My grandma ran outside with me and obsessed the situation. Which was nothing that her 6 year old grandchild was describing to her. It ended up having about a 12"x1" whole in the side of the garage. No one was hurt or anything.

My grandfather still to the day that he died love to tell that story. He would get this huge grin on his face and show with his arms how I was running, so fast into the house. I remember this of my grandfather and it brings a smile to my face every time!
