Watching the mom down the street makes me smile.

She and her husband are raising a couple of boys and the mother is really unusual and a joy to watch. The husband is no slouch, either. Still, there are a lot of guys like her. It is the wife that is the rare one.

A few years back I watched her show her kids how it is done when she rode a skateboard down the hill and took it right into her driveway with the grace and skill of a ballerina.

Over the Fourth the boys had managed to scare up some pretty good fireworks. Instead of the usual woman's freak out and panic, she simply handed one of the boys a long reach butane lighter and gave them a little coaching.

"Jump back when the fuse starts sizzling!" she told them.

She also goes along with them hiking fishing, canoeing and camping. They are an outdoor family.

I like her. She's a good woman and a good mother. The planet needs a lot more like her.

Her sons are being raised well and will have an awful lot of fond memories as they grow older.
