Have you ever been working in the kitchen and your child in another room phoned you (or texted) from the cell phone to ask a question? My daughter-in-law has. Or have you been sitting at dinner with family for a celebration (that you are paying for) and have several guests with head down the whole time? My husband put his foot down on that one. “You disrespect me. You eat at my table and you can’t put that thing down for the hour we’re all eating and talking together. Such disrespect!” They promptly put them away and–they all know, don’t get ’em out when at Papa’s or when he’s paying. Phone evil? no Distance from community? yes

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the topic!

I have never gotten too familiar with them. As a novice I once rode one but it was a gentle house and knew it’s way about. However I was sore for a week afterwards. I got spanked whenever the horse galloped because I didn’t know how to ride with the horse. Still I can say that I have ridden a horse, never mind the fact that I felt sorry for the poor horse.
Blessings
Shirley
