Hey Nancy!

Looking back, it seems to me it was more of "the punishment fitting the crime" 
dealie.  For example if I sent them to their rooms for time out for the younger 
one that was punishment but for the eldest it wasn't since she often willing 
went to her room to read books.  She was a real bookworm that one and it was 
virtually impossible to find a suitable punishment although she seldom required 
any punishment.

Speaking of punishments, often I would 'threaten' to send them off to a 
Catholic girls school which rightly neither took as a serious threat ... which 
it never was.  However decades later the younger one was totally caught off 
guard when she found out the place actually existed.  All those years ago she 
thought I had made it up.  Same deal with math camp which her eldest son 
willingly enrolls in every summer.  She thought I made that one up too.

 NB> At least you have grandchildren

Yes.  I definetly live a charmed life and probably don't deserve any of it.

Life is good,
