Fifteen years of my daughters helping me with chores developed a good head on their shoulders. One is in law school, and one is studying to be an architect. Both cried while putting up hay every summer, performed surgery on mamma livestock after pushing out their uterus and the baby (both stitched closed with a shoelace from their Converse sneakers), gave tens of thousands of immunization shots, laid fencing every year, fed bottle-babies at two hour intervals at 20 below zero, managed to train two herding dogs who were champions, run a backhoe and skidsteer, and made me proud. They did all this thru the ages of 8 to 22. Drove trucks, tractors, haybines, brush hogs, balers, and oh yeah........the farm airplane.
I pitty what's left of our next generation by the time government programming is thru.
You didn’t mention that they also learned how to shoot, which I will just assume to be self-evident.
It’s a pity how many kids today are not taught how to properly use and respect a firearm.
What special daughters you have.
I fear that the character building experiences they had will be denied to future generations.
Airplane?
Really?,Fill us in.
Darn. If I weren’t married already (and the the luckiest man alive), I’d be asking for phone numbers and/or email addresses...
