could go and play just as far as I wanted until I got to a place where I didn't recognize the leaves on the trees. I have always kept that in mind while raising my children and babysitting my granddaughter. I have always told Amelia, that she could go and play where ever she wanted just as long as she stayed on the grass. At a recent distribution's pick up site in West McKinney she simply and very seriously looked at me and asked, "Grandma Penny, where is the rest of the grass for me to play on?" From the mouths of babes; a simple, unreasoned and innocent question. I was left with no justifiable explanation to give her and answered, "It's gone now. Sorry baby, this is just about all they saved from what was once another family's ranch with plenty of grass to play on." We need to make sure that there is plenty of grass left for our future generations to live, work, play, produce and prosper on! It's called "Sustainable Development"! |
is more than PROUD to present and host: Collin County Economic Opportunities (CCEO) 2009/2010/2011 a rural, urban and new urban, carbon footprint reducing proposed local agricultural and economic plan. Currently proposed to the estimated approx. 791,633 residents of Collin County, Texas. With a specific challenge to the approx. 131,117 city residents of McKinney, TX and our surrounding cities, towns and rural communities that refer to McKinney as their "Hometown" too, for one reason or another. This small family farmer, a rural Collin County resident for over 30 years, realizes that we all promote ourselves whether in our own industries or areas of personal interest. In this instance I believe our efforts should be directed towards one anothers' benefit and well-being (social responsibility).
