    Harking for a simpler time.....

    Morals and manners...they are almost as rare as foie gras is in a California restaurant!! (My grandson is going to stand out like a sore thumb at school with his good manners!!!)

    Adult Boys

    Today, I was surprised and pleased to hear there are 18 year olds working in the hot summer sun to harvest our neighbors prune plum orchard.
