The second blessing was being raised on a farm where he was taught informed by God's marvelous creation.Travel with Jim Geyer to a time when a man's word was his bond, when a handshake was all that was needed to consummate an agreement, a time when doors were seldom locked and windows were often open to catch the warm evening summer breeze. A time when growing up was a fun, carefree time.Consider today's culture and you immediately see a marked decline in the strength of families who each evening gather around the supper table. There is an observable decrease in honesty, integrity and accountability. Dad & Mom's Country Wisdom offers pleasant memories of your parents' childhood.
