Many of you have shown pics of your kids & grandkids, good kids, & I appreciate it.
NO PICS here, but today I went out in the middle of nowhere, visited the small country gravel-road cemetery "Last Chance Cemetery" where my maternal Grandparents are buried.
A young friend of mine & his wife & small kids live near, in a converted country church - it was formerly Last Chance Church.
I visited in the yard with my friend for 30 minutes, and all the while, the young son
(7) and daughter(4) and dog(1) played, climbed trees, jumped out of the tree-house, got up in the track-hoe, just generally running amok, having fun, entertaining themselves.....and not with electronic games.
Not once did Dad need to correct the kids - or dog - and when he introduced me to the kids, they shook my hand and smiled.....then ran off to play.
My friend explained that he & the son had rebuilt the boat engine & they all were getting ready to take it to the small lake for a test run.
It's just encouraging to see the kids engrossed in good clean fun & play.
Hopefully they will grow up to be hard-working good people with good values like their Dad & Mom & grandparents.
