Yesterday, Mrs Yeoman Farmer was going over a history lesson with Homeschooled Farm Boy.
MYF happened to remark, "Your history book is a lot more interesting than mine was in the eighth grade."
HFB replied, matter-of-factly: "Well, yeah. A lot more has happened since then."
"Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bonds."
