 A LOT of people ask me why I like living in small town U.S.A. And I tell them about how my kids can play out in the street and I don’t have to worry about the people coming down to fast and running them over. I tell them about the fact that the neighbor will catch them doing something will discipline them and send them home. While they are running home I will get a phone call and they will tell me what the kids have done so that I can be on the porch pointing to the house and say nothing but “WALL”

 

Than my kids have not one parent but many. It takes a whole village… I know you have all heard that. But do you have the village that is willing to step up to the plate. I DO!… and with the discipline from people also come the fun….

Today one of the houses back here was having some work done that involved having a backhoe and a front loader….. and my kids and the neighbor kids were lucky enough to be given rides.

This guy caught them doing wrong last year. And this year the kids were really GOOD.

So he offered them all rides for watching and staying out of the way this year. I am so thankful for him remembering them and for giving them a little treat. 😉

This is one of the neat things that happens around here that just doesn’t happen everywhere.
