Riches You know, when you get some mileage on you, you have stories because you’ve seen some stuff. I got to see the unrest of the 60’s, the (in retrospect) little ups and downs of the economy every decade or so, the empty skies of 9/11, the empty stores of 2008, and, of course, lockdown from a terrible new virus.
Letter of Thanks Dear Editor: Louis Sanders and family would like to thank everyone for their gifts and calls for his 80th birthday. Also, thank you for coming and helping him celebrate. Louis Sanders and Family
Church Homecomings I have gotten to go to a good many church homecomings, and each has a different personality. One of the most memorable was at a little church way out in the country, no air conditioning. There was dinner on the grounds and people drifted in and out of the church all afternoon, singing specials, visiting the loaded tables in the churchyard for a second or third trip, then coming back in to sing or deliver a testimony. Many of the headstones in the adjacent cemetery were local stone, with the chiseled names worn off by time. I got back to my beloved church in central Arkansas (Gravel Hill Baptist Church in Rubicon) for its 130th anniversary homecoming today. One thing that’s universal about homecomings is that there will be good food, a dizzying feast like you can get nowhere else.
Hello again. We are having some beautiful weather. It is beginning to look like fall and really feels like it in the mornings. Like I have said before this really isn’t my favorite time of the year, but I’m still trying. I know we have four seasons so I’m trying to enjoy all of them.
The weather has been fairly nice outside this week. Even though I didn’t get outside except to go to the doctor’s office.
Hope that everyone had a good week. I have been weed eating down at Tammie’s house. Boy is everything growing fast. I have been taking down an old chicken run and cleaning it up. I rolled up the wire and put it in the barn.
You lawyers make things complicated. I am just going to write my own will from one of those forms on the internet.
Now that we will be able to buy hearing aids over the counter without a doctor’s prescription, you said you’d explain how I could help my aunt investigate the best, most cost-effective options so she can hear better. Sure. Last week I wrote about the new federal law that clears the way for people whose hearing is mildly or moderately impaired to buy hearing aids from stores, with no doctor’s visit necessary. The hearing aids may become available on that basis as early as October of this year.
Dear Editor: I would like to thank each one for the birthday wishes, calls, cards and gifts. Also, for messages via Facebook. May God bless each one as He has blessed and still blesses me. It was a special 98 th birthday.
I asked my 80 year-old mother what she would do if she lost her wallet. She thought for a moment and then said, “Scream.” But seriously, what should be done? Here’s a list.
