Pensive Selections

I have enjoyed the rain of late along with the temperatures (less than 80 degrees). My pecan trees have been dropping many leaves in preparation for the pecans the have been growing.  There should be a large number this fall. The last time they produced it was  2006 and I was out of the country and my neighbors got them. Contrary to many who believe that pecans drop every year, it take 3 to as many as 7 years for them to produce. The weather conditions must also be favorable.  I will let everyone know how it turns out.

I have been paying some attention the past couple of weeks to the health care debate. I think President Obama is doing an excellent job. He is following through with his campaign promises that he made and I am glad that he is mixing it up and not letting our elected politicians set back on their laurels and collect their large paychecks.

Today (Saturday), I taught my Son, fourteen to change the oil in our ‘95 Ford F150.  He did an excellent job and next change he should be able to do it with minimal supervision.  I think it is important to teach our children how to do things.  He has friends that get their oil changed at Wally-World and haven't the slightest clue how to do it themselves.
