Heart of the Home

None of the kids in my small school - about 50 students in high school - ever thought about smoking or drinking, and we didn't even know what drugs were.

Hardly any of us had our own cars. Some of the boys drove their parents' cars.
Kids these days may find that kind of life boring, but I was happy.

Growing up on farm was great experience
Growing up on an Iowa farm was something extra special to me and quite different from anything I see California city children experiencing.
My summer vacations were wonderful oases of freedom, although my sister and I did have chores to do - including feeding the chickens, washing windows and helping prepare food from the garden.
We had our own corner of the large garden where we could plant anything we wanted, which was usually flowers. We earned our small plots by weeding the bigger garden.
We showed our parents respect. There was no sassing back. We learned early on that life was much sweeter if we simply did as we were told.
Growing up on a farm was great. I've always loved the country, and it seems to me that city children today would benefit from exposure to that kind of life.

For you dads, maybe it was the year the kids got together and planned a special day just for you, or maybe it was when your children were too small to understand the meaning of Father's Day, so your wife made you a special dinner with all your favorite foods.

Serve nutritious, versatile potatoes in delicious new ways
The United Nations has declared 2008 the 'International Year of the Potato,' citing the potato's strong nutrition profile, versatility and ability to feed the masses.
The potato is fast-growing and nutritious. One medium (5.3 ounces) potato contains 110 calories, 45 percent of the daily value of vitamin C, essential B vitamins, and 2 grams of fiber. Potatoes contain no fat, cholesterol or sodium, and potato skins are a good source of potassium.
