Thanks for the advice. It's been a long time since I've had a child around. lol My son, Elden is grown and a doctor at a community clinic. That's how we found out about Crystal in the first place. I'm really glad that I have her around, though. She's really helpful. I am a vegetable farmer and she gives me extra help with the garden.

I guess she'll just have to concentrate on her school work for awhile and worry about friends later? Do you have children? We're in the flat world. How do your kids make friends and still keep their grades up?
