A class of seven students undoubtedly becomes like an extended family. And a class of seven students gets to know one another in a way only a family would.

Even though they might work at what they do just as hard as others, for these “naturals” things just seem to come out better. Then there are the rest of us. While some seem to be born with the proverbial silver spoon in their mouth, talent-wise, there are those of us whose spoon was plastic....
On the isolated plains of Eastern Colorado are found homestead windbreaks, shelterbelts that protect property in high winds, reduce erosion, and drop snow in the form of moisture granting drifts.

While I like this idea and support the decision to use quality tir...
