Cowboys and Indians

Children are so inoccent and it is so much fun to watch children playing in there own little world. My husband and I don't believe and all the x-box and playstations. We live sort of in the country and on 13 acres, we want our children to get out and play. There would not be a childhood obesity epidemic if kids got out there and played. I know things are different then when we were young, you can not just send your kids out to play till dark. The world is even more scarier then ever. Which is qutie sad, I remember my Mamaw Lester leaving my cousin and I on her screened in porch playing. We were told to latch the screen door and leave it locked and she was just going to run up the street to bring my Papaw his lunch. This was in Benoit, Ms in the 70's, she could even call in her groceries to the grocery store up the road. Which was really neat! Very vaiguly I remember milk being being delievered in bottles in a metal crate with a handle. I was telling some girlfriends about this at lunch one day. They laughed and said my God how old are you? They never had any experiences like that and are around my age too. I thought how sad, but how fortunate I was to have that in my life. Such simplier times. It makes me wish for more of that. I guess that is why I love the country life we have made and the milking of goats, fresh eggs, growing our own food and fruits, etc.

Here is a picture of my husband and son playing cowboys and indians (just like the little army men my cousin and I played with on my grandmother's porch)
