My Wife and I decided since we met in our middle thirties not to have kids.
Lately we've talked about how we wished we hadn't made that decision. None of my Nieces and Nephews have any interest in hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. We have borrowed some of our neighbor kids at times but if I could have had a Thomas or any of these other fine kids pictured above...

BeanMan a couple of my friends have expressed similar sentiments, particulalry after having spent time with our kids/grandkids or other folks' kids. At your age there is still plenty of time to generate rewarding moments and experiences with youngsters - likely some that will much appreciate your attention and guidance, and love you for it. It might take some seeking and sorting but should be doable if it's something you both would really want and enjoy. Wishing you the best.

![[Linked Image]](http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/whelen_nut/IMG_0031%202.jpg) Sons, Skane and little brother Mark, dragging a buck I shot about 1974 by my cabin. ![[Linked Image]](http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu33/whelen_nut/006%202.jpg) Here they are again about 40 years later doing much the same thing in almost the exact same spot! Both the boys and the buck are much bigger!

Winchester My wife tried to turn him gay for Christmas. Be careful with that!!! My wife put some Foo Foo stuff on my German Shorthair once. The dog chewed up his bed trying to make a rope to hang himself with. Luckily I rescued him and got the Foo Foo stuff off him before he finished the job.
