Saturday One or two more things

 Picture of the day.

My Dog's name was Ace, as a boy I went to him with my problems. He was a good listener.

(Now I can go to Sherry!)

Now for today’s stuff:

A little background on the man who bought the house on S Main st. He earned his wealth. He started his business in their house kitchen. He gathered damaged rolls of yarn; he and his wife set up machines to rewind the yarn and threads.

Ultimately they owned two medium sized textile mills. They were very frugal and still lived in the same house they started the businesses in. Even though they were multimillionaires, his wife had never had a cook nor maid.

Mr Saunders called me over to the house on Main St. to explain the pool pump operations. As I was leaving his wife got my attention I could tell she wanted to talk to me. I walked into the kitchen area and she seemed embarrassed. “You probably won’t believe this, but we have never owned a dish washer, will you show me how to use this one?”

Of course we had a good laugh and went thru the procedures a couple times. She was smiling as I left.

One last thing in this story. Honestly this is about word for word in a conversation in the front yard, just behind the moving truck as it was being loaded. You may or may not know but rental trucks and trucks for interstate businesses have license tags from other states. This one for example had a Louisiana plate. BIL Elmer came over to see how things were going.

He took note of the license plates. He said loudly laughed and asked, “Hey Jack are they stealing your furniture?” (His very words)

One of the movers had a chair in his arms leaving the house he said, “Yes sir, we are stealing all his stuff!” he laughed walked on by and put the chair in the truck.

That is the honest truth, we all laughed at the joke.

TROUBLE IS IT WAS THE TRUTH I LEARNED

 MONTHS LATER!

Thank the Lord we can smile about it now, but it is really a sad thing. ‘Confidence Men’ are among the saddest of crooks. They appear so honest, they get your confidence, then stab you where it hurts.

All human lives are filled with good and bad things, but it is up to us if it stymies our lives or not.

WE can still say we have been so blessed. My sweetheart took a chance on a High School Drop out. WE made a team, worked together and are ending this road of life debt free, happy and she still loves me.

Problems? Yes, ones we never imagined, but with His help we are gonna live life to its fullest.

(Socrates, I wish he had been my big brother!)

Thanks for reading this drivel...
