Red, I'm sure they love whatever you can show or teach them. Kids just want someone to love them & pay attention to them. That's special you do that with them

They do. I throw the ball to them a few times and they notice that I'm in pain so they tell me to sit down in my chair outside. They are thoughtful kids when it comes to that. I'm very lucky. Most kids don't understand stuff like that. I just remember teaching and playing football with my son. I'd let him hit and tackle me when we'd practice getting him ready . He turned out to be a great player. I remember the last time I let him get aggressive with me. He was in the eight grade and strong as an ox. He had to quit after Jr high because of his back trouble. Mri should he was completely missing bones. He told me after his last game that it hurt to get in his stance. After the mri we knew why. The coaches begged me to make him play until they found out about his back. Its ashamed. His last coach told me that he knew that he'd be playing on tv in college. It bothered him. He didn't even go to college after graduating high school. I've tried to talk him into it. He works hard and if he keeps it up, he'll end up like me. Wish I could talk some sense into him.

They are still 13/7 2 mins left in the first half

Thanks.

Well I've got crazy Silkies broody again. One is sitting on 6 eggs, 4 Icelandic eggs & 2 Silkie eggs. The other one I found in the nest again this evening is my ditzy Paint Silkie that can't figure out how to keep eggs under her. I will be breaking her again, found her with the golf ball pushed to the side of the nest, her laying in the center of the nest & 2 eggs pushed to the back of the box. That Dingdong is never going to get it right. I really think she took a hit to the head at some point

sounds like mine has been hit in the head too. Lol maybe one day she'll figure it out

We sure don't. I never thought I'd be in this shape. I had planned on working til retirement and taking it easy. I was just as hard headed as him.
