Since retiring, I/we babysit our two grandkids; five days a week, Nine hours a day. Our granddaughter, Parker Rose, is four and our grandson, Owen Carver, is eight months. Both are eonderful blessings to us. And remember this: "You can Never do a kindness too soon, because you never know how soon will be too late" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I got kicked out of school "many" times while attending Chester High, especially in my senior year. I still remember a sign that hung in Mr. Giles' office. It read: "We get too soon old and too late smart." After 72 years of life - lesson learned. Today, whenever it's applicable, I warn youngsters of that same, eternal, truth.
