JUST A THOUGHT. . .

WE WENT ON VACATION THE THIRD WEEK IN JULY AND HAD A GREAT TIME. DID SOME GOLFING, SOME TUBING, SOME SHOPPING, SOME SWIMMING, AND JUST SOME GENERAL RELAXING. WE ALREADY HAVE RESERVATIONS FOR NEXT YEAR. I LOVE GOING ON VACATIONS. I REMEMBER DRIVING PAST SCENIC LOOK OUTS WHEN WE WERE KIDS TRAVELING WITH MOM AND DAD AND ASKING IF WE COULD STOP AND LOOK. THE ANSWER WAS USUALLY , “NO” WE WERE ALWAYS IN A HURRY TO GET TO SOMEBODIES HOUSE. NO TIME TO DALLY! I REMEMBER ONE TIME WHEN WE WENT TO MONTANA TO VISIT SOMEBODY, MY DAD ACTUALLY STOPPED AT A CAVE AND WE ALL WENT ON A TOUR. IT WAS A LITTLE SHACK ALONG THE HIGHWAY SOMEWHERE ON A LONE HIGHWAY. DAD STOPPED AND PAYED FOR US TO GO. INSIDE THAT CAVE I REMEMBER SEEING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL NATURAL SCULPTURES I HAVE EVER SEEN, EVEN TO THIS DAY. THEY HAD SET THE WHOLE TOUR AROUND THE DISNEY CARICATURES. OFF IN THE DISTANCE THERE WOULD BE SNOW WHITE AND THE 7 DWARFS AND WHEN THE GUIDE POINTED THESE OUT TO US WE COULD SEE THEM AS CLEAR AS DAY. THERE WAS CINDERELLA’S CARRIAGE AND SHOE, THERE WAS RUPUNZELS CASTLE AND THE THREE LITTLE PIGS AND THE BIG BAD WOLF. IT WAS TRULY FACINATING. SOMETHING I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER. VACATIONS ARE GREAT AND SHOULD BE REMEMBERED, LIKE THE PINK SHORTS, AND THE LOONEY COPS. I CAN’T WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR!

GRANDMA’S APRON

I DON’T THINK KIDS KNOW WHAT AN APRON IS. THE PRINCIPAL USE OF GRANDMA’S APRON WAS TO PROTECT THE DRESS UNDERNEATH, BUT ALONG WITH THAT,IT SERVED AS A POTHOLDER FOR REMOVING HOT PANS FROM THE OVEN.

IT WAS WONDERFUL FOR DRYING CHILDRENS TEARS. FROM THE CHICKEN COOP, THE APRON WAS USED FOR CARRING EGGS. WHEN COMPANY CAME, THOSE APRONS WERE IDEAL HIDING PLACES FOR SHY KIDS. AND WHEN THE WEATHER WAS COLD, GRANDMA WRAPPED IT AROUND HER ARMS.

THOSE BIG OLD APRONS WIPED MANY PERSPIRING BROW, BENT OVER A HOT WOOD STOVE. CHIPS AND KINDLING WOOD WERE BROUGHT INTO THE KITCHEN IN THAT APRON.

FROM THE GARDEN, IT CARRIED ALL SORTS OF VEGETABLES. AFTER THE PEAS WERE SHELLED, IT CARRIED OUT THE HULLS. IN THE FALL, THE APRON WAS USED TO BRING IN THE APPLES THAT HAD FALLEN FROM THE TREES. WHEN UNEXPECTED COMPANY DROVE UP THE ROAD, IT WAS SURPRISING HOW MUCH FURNITURE THAT OLD APRON COULD DUST IN A MATTER OF SECONDS.

WHEN DINNER WAS READY, GRANDMA WALKED OUT ONTO THE PORCH, WAVED HER APRON, AND THE MEN KNEW IT WAS TIME TO COME IN TO DINNER. IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE SOMEONE INVENTS SOMETHING THAT WILL REPLACE THAT “OLD TIME APRON” THAT SERVED SO MANY PURPOSES.

GRANDMA USED HER APRON TO SET HER HOT BAKED APPLE PIES ON THE WINDOWSILL TO COOL. HER GRANDDAUGHTERS SET THEIRS ON THE WINDOWSILL TO THAW.

THERE’S THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION AND HEALTH. IT’S A RELEIF TO KNOW THE TRUTH AFTER ALL THOSE CONFLICTING NUTRITIONAL STUDIES:

• 1.       THE JAPANESE EAT VERY LITTLE FAT AND SUFFER FEWER HEART ATTACKS THAN AMERICANS.
• 2.       THE MEXICANS EAT A LOT OF FAT AND SUFFER FEWER HEART ATTACKS THAT AMERICANS.
• 3.       3 THE CHINESE DRINK VERY LITTLE RED WINE AND SUFFER FEWER HEART ATTACKS THAN AMERICANS.
