Mitch Walters grandfather and father were auto dealers. His future was self proclaimed early, in the fifth grade, when the teacher asked all the kids to write a “Career Book”! It was a book about what they wanted to be when they grew up. Mitch Walters got an “A” on his paper and proudly stated that what he wanted was to have his own automobile dealership, just like his dad. He set his goals at a very young age and has and continues to have auto dealerships and realize his dream!

What do you do when it snows?
Have you ever seen a Lab puppy playing in the first snowfall he's ever seen? It's absolutely hilarious watching him. He tries to catch the snow as it hits the ground. Then, when he can't do that, he jumps in the air trying to catch the flakes and when he does catch one, of course, it dissolves in his mouth and he doesn't understand where it went. And when the ground is covered, he and his Lab brothers and sisters chase each other in it, sliding around, playing in the snow; having the time of their lives.
Now contrast the Labs playing in the snow with the people who get grouchy because they can't get out of their driveway. Or, who whine because their kids are missing another day of school which might cut into their summer vacation. Or, who stand in long grocery store lines and for what--milk and bread?
Maybe Labs make a positive life better than we do sometimes, you think? The next time you get interrupted by the weather, just smile, enjoy the interruption, and make a positive life like a Lab!

Have you ever wondered about wonder? I mean have you ever thought why you attribute a beauty or awe to certain things? Have you ever been amazed how a large tree can grow from the tiniest crack in a massive rock? Have you ever been rapt by a sunset, a blanket of fog, or ridge of mountains in the fall? I know you have. And I also know you’re beginning to think I’m spending too much time in a tree stand, bored from not seeing deer. Not yet, but I can say this. Deer hunters are people who get to see some of the greatest wonders of earth.
