My Not Getting Rich Quick Story!
Once upon a time, we listened to our grandfather's stories. If there ever was a natural-born storyteller, grandpa, who was called Pap, was the best of all. His histrionic tales entertained us for hours on end. Often, we lost track of time. The fictitious tales captured our attention and imagination. As children, we loved listening to his stories. The stories instilled pride and confidence in his grandchildren. Admittedly, back then, children didn't have all the distractions that they have today.

UNEXPECTEDLY
As the first rays of daylight streamed into Jane's bedroom window, the alarm clock's harsh loud sound cut into the silence of her room. Jane hit the snooze button for 15 more minutes of sleep. Again, the alarm goes off and Jane hesitantly leaves the warm safe comfort of her bed and heads to the bathroom.

Mom's Way
People lost money during the worst economic hardship in American history. The year was 1929. The Great Depression began and ended approximately four years later. It was during the Great Depression that my mother was a child growing up on her family's farm in Central Pennsylvania.

twins - Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope for May 30th, 2021 Communication and creativity are at a pinnacle as Neptune, Pluto, and Jupiter influence Mercury. While peers are entertained by your humor and wit, a new friendship will develop early in the day. Beware of nocuous actors who do not have your best interest at heart. From now until the end of the year, investments or trades are at a higher risk than normal. It's best to avoid!

Nifty Nineties
Sweet yes! Nostalgic most definitely! S stands for shirt dresses! See! She wore her favorite shirt dress. Indeed, vogue and fashion have never been a focus or priority for me. As one who has never taken fashion seriously, my clothes sense would best be described as practicable and sensible. Never pretentious!

Waste Not Want Not
Are you recycling, repurposing, and reducing the consumption of our natural resources? Are you taking care of our environment? Have you thought about what you can do to reduce your carbon footprint and protect our oceans from being destroyed? If not, you should. Perhaps, you don't like to make waves, or you think it's too much work. Believe me, our environment and our natural resources are worth saving and protecting.

Classified
Shortly before leaving Eielson AFB in Alaska and heading for Del Rio, Texas, we went on a tour of the Fairbank's newspaper. When reading about the newspaper's tour, my initial thought and reaction, at the time, was about the tour is a learning experience and how educational it would be for my son and daughter who attended elementary school. At that time, my mind never once considered or had an interest in any position at a newspaper. It was all about the kids, but, that was about to change. My creative instincts were awakened in the advertising department of Fairbank's newspaper. Everything the Director of Advertising said piqued my interest. All of a sudden, my thoughts were focused on working at a newspaper in the advertising department.
