One interesting thing came about through our discussions. When he was interveiwing people for jobs at the university. He would ask where they had worked before. If they said they had worked on a farm the interveiw was over. He would give them the job. He said he was never disappointed with his decision of hiring a kid from the country. All those chores growing up and the work in garden at Grandpa's sure paid off for me. Taught me alot about how to work and who I was. Kinda miss those days.

Nate couldn't figure out where you were keeping it! Jane--Character building ,,, I might have to use that angle. Karen--That is a really fun idea. Krista--You just described my husband. Few people are equal to his work ethic. Jenni–My husband and daughter both thought you got a horse for Christmas after reading your comment. Nate couldn’t figure out where you were keeping it!

I grew up with regular chores and responsibilities as well, but how many times has my husband told the kids, "I'm going to put you on a farm, then you'll know what work is." Thanks for the reminder... I need to update the chore chart. My husband was raised on a farm and his work ethic is amazing.

The children, the farm, the horse, the cow, etc, and the chores. I see this post expanded and made into an awesome children’s book, only with photos rather than illustrations, 30 pp is the norm.

We had chores growing up and my Dad would always say, "It will give you character." Twenty years later I believe him. Oh for the simple life.

Yep, you can guess what he bought. I was so overwhelmed that month, that I could barely articulate my objection.
