    Get a pair for walkin'...

    Many of my post involve stories, pics and vids of my 3 young boys and we are lookong foward to a day to head down to MHC for a good days ride on the Runoff with Captain Brian and 1st Mate Box.
    That being said, I've been doing some reading on here the last few days and have a little story to share. Some may not know where this is going, the others do know and hopefully will absorb the point. This is a great site to share and a better tool to help with your skills by what others offer. A little dramma doesn't hurt every now and then, but things have got off track and some need to just go fishing.

    I've posted the health issues my wife is having and she is doing much better and will hopefully be coming home soon. SFC/W2MW Thanks! This is not about her but our three boys. I spent most of last Friday with her at the hospital and the boys were staying at a neighbors house for the day. When their friend and his older sister started to fight and verbally abusing each other, the three brothers grabbed their things and walked the 3/4 of a mile home, gave me a call and ask if they could go to the river and fish. I told them to keep a phone close by, stay together and have fun. Got home around 5:00 to get dinner going and they came walking up the drive fishing gear in hand. Ask how their day went and one of them said "GREAT DAY TO BE FISHING"!

    The boys are 8, 10 and 12 and chose to walk away. Netman

    Thank you Netman for sharing the story and thanks to your boys for demonstrating better judgement than many of us "adults" here.
    A speedy recovery to your wife.

    Walking away

    It is amazing how much adults can learn from from our children. Thanks for sharing. They sound like great young people. Enjoy them while you can.

    I have been keeping your wife in my prayers. I hope she is home soon.

    Amazing how a child can humble the biggest and best of us but that ain't a bad thing!
