Everyone has had to endure it and everyone has gotten one. Yes, my children do receive F's. Usually, they are given in Kindergarten and they are given for not doing their work or participating. What happens when an F is given? We have a fun day or evening. We watch the favorite movie or TV show of the F recipient, we have extra time for outdoor playing and sometimes we even get field trips to the park. What does the F recipient do? At the park, they get to sit next to mama and watch with longing eyes as the others play. At home, they get to sit in their rooms and contemplate the decision to argue and fuss and refuse to do their school work while we watch their favorite movie and sometimes even eat their favorite dessert. Often, the day after the F is spent in washing pillows that have been tear soaked. However, the F a most useful tool and the days and weeks after it is given are just about blissful!

There were lots of pretty flowers and some wild grapes along the trail. Our first glimpse of the Brazos River Here's the area where traders along the river would land and bring their cargo/passengers.
