Then I guess I did OK in spite of myself. I didn't have time to go to most of their ball games or take them on big expensive family vacations,in fact,we went away ONE night for a family vacation while they were all growing up. What I did do was things like when I took them to the Burger King drive through at noon one day while my wife was working,and the kid gave me too much change,I told him,hold it,you gave me too much. They asked why I didn't keep it and I just told them it wasn't mine to keep. That the kid would have been in trouble if he came up short. And I made it real clear to them when I knew the kids they were hanging out with were less than desirable,that their name was worth more than anything they could ever steal. Did I ever use physical dicipline? You bet I did. When my daughter was 14 and getting out of line too far,I took her over my knee and blistered her backside til my hand was numb. And the boys wouldn't quit fighting in the barn one night when they were supposed to be getting the cows in. I took a wooden cane right across their backsides and made them think about it the next few times they tried to sit down. But do I take any cedit for how they turned out? No. I and my wife have both had people stop us on the street or in stores and tell us what a good job we did raising them. I don't ever know what to tell them. I sure didn't think I was there for them as much as I should have been compared to how other parents did things with their kids. All I did was worked with them side by side every day. I just tell folks that it's because they milked cows and they'd do anything to keep from ever having to do that again.

Today's Featured Article - A Towny Goes Plowing - by Anthony West (UK). I live in an area renowned for its rural beauty. Small fields with hedgerows and trees are common place, as are small hamlets with village greens and the odd duck pond complete with swans. The center of any village once the shop is closed is the old tavern. Rustic places with cheerful names like "The Griffin" "Red Lion" or "The Plough and Harrow" are found dotted around the country lanes all over the place. The warm glow of yellowish light can be seen for quite some distance at dusk, and
