self revalation

Oh, he would definitely love it here! When each of the kids hit a certain age (maybe 4) he would
take them to work with him on Saturdays ... donuts and applejuice, along with a day filled with
gobblegobbles, diggers, pushers, etc. I remember when my son was in pre-school, they had a *field
trip* to see the additions being put on at their facility ... complete with the heavy equipment. I
had to tell the supervisors to NOT let him climb on the machinery, don't even let him think about it
... he knew how to start them, knew how to operate them already
- and unless they wanted the machinery to start doing it's job, KEEP HIM AWAY!

There are also a few benefits ... good paying summer jobs for the kids, helps a bit with the college
expenses and spending money. We put them at the menial end of things, hard work tends to make them
appreciate going to school to be able to do something a tad easier. <G> BUT having them on the jobs
also means the operators tend to stay on track and take fewer breaks ... they are never quite sure
what will get back to the *boss*.

My grandson is now being broken in gently. His biggest request for Christmas is now *trucks*. For
his birthday we bought him one of those power wheel battery operated trucks, which he just adores.
This year he is going to get the smaller ones that he can push around on the floor. LOL

We can't get away with paying once a year, we send in monthly payments to the provincial
government for sales tax and monthly payments to the feds

for

Yes he would love it there! My brothers both work at a gravel pit and they have an open house once a
year in the summer for one day. Wanted to take Nicholas this year, except it was when DH was sick in
the hospital, so we couldn't make it. Next year we will.
