Default Another generation arrived!

I don't think I mentioned this to a whole bunch of people (I think Clan knew), but my wife and I had a son born last month. He's a great kid and I know he's gonna make a great sugarmaker some day or at the very least help Dad make some. He's our first and I hope we have several more behind him (boys or girls!).

I'm as happy as one could be....He's been a really good kind the past few weeks.

Dave

What suger maker has time for kids. Hmmmmmmmmm I am missing out on something here. Actually my kids 29 years old and has kids. Must be neat to know you got a ready made helper in a couple of years. My daughter used to come to the hog barns with me all the time when she was age 6 on. I worked for a huge company at the time and this goofy irish manager tried to make us stop brining our kids to work on the weekend and the owner told him to go away as his daughter had been coming to the barns for years also and how were they supposed to learn anything if they were not allowed.
