On Saturday, the Jersey kids grandpa Jim was showing them how to measure the moisture in corn. To be honest, I didn't even quite know how this was done. It seemed complicated to me, but Tyler easily figured it out.
The cute part of the story is grandpa Jim explaining to the children that he received the moisture test kit as a present from his parents when he graduated high school in 1973. He told the Jersey kids, who seems to be in total amazement how this work (and he had me very intrigued too)about how much that gift cost 35 years ago, a whopping $98.00 and his parents did not have that kind of money. Jim is one of eight kids. He explained how it was very important to take good care of your stuff and have pride in it and it can last a long time. 35 years seemed like a "very long time" to the kids!
Just a simple life lesson shared first hand from their grandpa. I love when generations share life stories. It touches the heart.
