Her grandfather had taught her how to keep the records for the ranch. Thank God for that or she’d really be lost now that Tom was gone. There was something else she’d recently purchased, but she’d be damned if she could remember what it was. Her grandfather would be sorely disappointed in her. His philosophy had been to never put off what you could do right away. He’d say she should have written down whatever it was immediately after she got home. She knew what she should do. It was actually remembering to do it that was the problem lately. To be fair, she did have a few—or a few hundred—things on her mind. Pen poised in the air, Janie tried to remember the forgotten expense, but her thoughts turned toward that morning and Tyler and Colton’s visit instead. She tried to wrestle her mind back to the task at hand and decided it was useless. She’d remember when she remembered or when she came across the receipt in the truck. If she didn’t, then the records would just not be accurate to the penny this year.
