OK. Finally! My screen name is Nicholas Daniel, but my real name is Judy. Nicholas Daniel is after our oldest grandson, Nick, who is 13. My mother always called me Judith Kay if I got in trouble (not a lot, because she could hardly every find me). We lived on a 26-acre farm in North Ridgeville, Ohio. I was out of the house at daylight and gone til supper then til dark. She always knew where I was. Either with my cats or at the neighbor milking the cows, playing with their dogs & cats, or riding their horses. She never worried about me, and usually packed me a lunch. I usually only got in trouble for beating up my crappy and weird cousin for mistreating my kittens. That wasn't even from my parents, just from their mother, my aunt.
Hugs, Judy

Judy, those were the days! I was lucky to have the best of both worlds...we lived in the city (near New Orleans) so I got a good dose of city life, but my grandparents & 2 uncles llived in the country & my uncles had dairy farms...spent a LOT of time there wandering the woods with my cousins (there were 12 of us all together but of course we never let the little ones tag along LOL), playing in the barns, picking fresh watermelons knowing we would get killed if we got caught by my Uncles 
and just being kids! It was great. I always wished my own children could have experienced the same as I think it is good for the soul to be able to appreciate the simple things in life too. But alas, they have grown up in the city and my dd would die if she couldn't get her Starbucks fix LOL My son on the other hand has a good appreciation for the fun of nature as he has friends he hunts with and boats with and he spent a lot of time with one of my brothers and Dad who taught him to love what nature had to offer. Looking back those were the best of times and we were too young to appreciate them. I just thank God now for letting me experience it!
