[AT] Good tractor day

[Tyler Juranek]

Hi Spencer and All,
Ya know, your story about your grandson made me think of something...
Last Sunday, my family got together for Mothers Day. And how about it,
my brother-in-law hands me a card.
It had something on the inside that I found very educational...
"Baby Spellerberg Due November 2020."
I am hoping for a nephew. When he gets older, he and Uncle Tyler can
go for rides on the Oliver... :)
I can't wait!
It's great that you and your grandson share that time on the tractor.
Sooner or later he'll be driving it alone...
How old is he now?
Take Care,
Tyler Juranek
