All the snow of the winter is nearly gone and the flooding in Northwest Ohio has begun thanks to the melting and heavy rain all day today and overnight last night. The winter of 08-09 is one like I remember from my younger days. I have wished for a snowmobile like we had when we were young out at the farm and enjoyed the days and nights in Wolfie's Den listening to the stories told by Dad and Sam and Pete and Frankie and the whole crew.... although some would question their influence ant times, I really remember those days fondly. I wish my daughters could have had the chance to share in some of those experiences with many of those family and friends....
Amazing to me how times change and the concept of families moving off to different corners of the US and the world have occurred over the past 30 years.... The good old days somehow cannot be repeated, only remembered in our hearts and minds with a damp eye....
Our society has become more mobile, more digital and the tough economy is impacting people more than many of know at this time.....my heart breaks for some of the stories (kids) I am dealing with at school...the youth of today are living through times that are unkown to entire generations back to my parents and grandparents.....
