Guess I should read more closely.

I do it too.
No worries, I just couldn't help myself.
I had to call out your error.

What career path?
Well my daughter is a junior in high school, and hates it.
She has her learners permit for driving and will be driving herself next year.
She expresses some interest in auto repair an is currently taking career tec classes in welding.
She is a very talented artist and writes stories for hobby.
The sky is the limit for this one.
I could not be prouder of her!

I wanted to share an older story about my daughter who was 10 at the time.
It was a small article in the online version of Traverse Magazine.
She is 16 now, and would kill me if she knew i was doing this.

2 years ago i heard this awful screaming and growling in our woods. I went out to see what the comotion was and here she comes, holding something by its tail, and it does not like it.
It was a almost full grown racoon. Her story was that our dogs had something treed and she went to investigate.
While standing there the racoon jumped/fell onto our dog Momo's back, and so she reached over and grabbed him by the tail to get him off her dog.
Again, another lecture about wild critters and rabies was given.

I LIKE this girl! Impressive! Love it!
