THE LITTLE DUCHESS!

The Duchess is almost another story. With three children and this somewhat befuddled laborer Sancho Grandpa, Sanchette had to go to work to secure enough money to raise three children. It was very hard times. We sometimes had to take the weevils out of the beans to have something to eat. We ate the beans, by the way.

Sanchette had never been anything but a great wife, companion, and super mom. She wanted to stay home with little Duchess as she had with the boys, but it became impossible.

Little Duchess was almost totally defiant when it came to going to daycare. Wow! Crying, dragging, hanging on to your leg with all fours, she finally let go each day and stayed- under complete duress. This went on for weeks.

All of this only further befuddled the otherwise already befuddled laborer Sancho Grandpa (to Don Andrew). Sancho could hardly stand it. He developed an even more compassionate heart. So, every afternoon that the befuddling labor wasn’t so great, Sancho would go pick up Little Duchess early from daycare.

What happened on all these days? It began with a kiss and a hug and a trip to the Jiffy Stop Grocery for a Pushup, when we could scrape a few pennies together. We did this as often as we could and, as time progressed, we added a very, very important activity to our list of daily activities.

This new activity was an absolute inspiration for this poor befuddled laborer Sancho Grandpa (To Don Andrew). The little Duchess and I began to walk. We walked alongside the railroad track. We crossed the track and went into the pasture. We found 100’s of treasures. Some of these we had to bring home with us. A significant amount of these treasurers were hidden all over the place. But, we always marked the way to the hiding place with arrows made with rocks. What an ingenious idea Little Duchess had.

What was more important than everything else that has been said so far? Relationship! That’s right! That’s really what this little Libra is all about. It’s a very one-sided perspective of one simple, somewhat befuddled man named Sancho Grandpa (To Don Andrew) who developed some marvelous relationships with his children and is now developing those same relationships with his grandchildren.

It’s a great day to be alive!
