Putting your mother into a motorized shopping cart for the first time can be a memory you will never forget. Relive the time my sister took our mother shopping in a major department store.

One of life's greatest joys is being around children and listening to their comments. Their innocence, their humor, their sense of life is so encouraging to those of us who call ourselves adults. You're going to enjoy this one about funny things kids say, and what we have to do some time to get them going on the right path.

I wrote this simple little pledge years ago, when I once again became an elementary principal and my last years before retirement. I was concerned about the kids behavior, so I wrote a little pledge that we said every morning. It simply said, "Today, I will do more that I have to do, I will treat others, as I want to be treated, and I will try to become a better person."

It's always a good time for a renewed faith in our country. I sincerely hope that this inspires us to thank God every day for the great country in which we live.

I know it can be discouraging, but never give up on a child. We all learn at different rates, and when they are ready, they WILL learn!
