DADS WEDNESDAYS ENTRY THREE THOUSAND NINTY SIX

Good Morning.
....
Wishing the best for you on this good Wednesday morning. I am starting these blogs just a little later every morning, at the moment it is 6: 10 A.M. and I do feel relaxed and content as I look out at the this new sheet that God has given me,
wonder what it will look like at my bedtime tonight, I do want to be careful so I will not be ashamed of it when the sun goeth down. .

Today.. June 8 2011 .... Mix of sun and clouds. A stray afternoon thunderstorm is possible. High 35C. Winds light and variable. A mix of clouds and sun. A stray afternoon thunderstorm is possible. High around 95F. Winds light and variable. . Sounds very good but I wish that they could change that stray thunder storm to sure instead of possible. It is so dry here at Dads Tomato garden, the roses and tomatoes are beginning to complain. Dad.

He wrote two columns over the years. "HOME FOLKS" and TENNESSEE TRAVELS".
He traveled many miles over mountain roads, interviewing the folks he admired so much
for his "TENNESSEE TRAVELS" column.

After retiring, he couldn't let it go which led to the publishing of two books.
"LAST TRAIN TO ELKMONT" and " LEGENDS OF CADES COVE".

Thousands have been sold through the GREAT SMOKY MTN visitor centers.
The books sell for $12.00 and can still be purchased at any center or by e mail to Dad at white6416r@aol.com . We have the books in stock and can ship any time. Checks or Credit cards accepted.
....
We did get a lot done yesterday. We have all the tomatoes mulched and in cages, so now it is a waiting time for us, I sure am getting hungry for a tomato sandwich. I am just going to relax and try to enjoy each day of life and count it a gift from God.

I recommend it and it is free, only one smile. Dad. .

I am not going to say more right now, I need more X bold and just a little time to meditate and see if I am all here, I do feel happy and content, satisfied with the way things are going, and I want to keep that way until my bedtime tonight, I will try to come back later in the morning Remember my Side Panel----
....
It is now 11:08 A.M. and I think that I have things going, it has been a problem, but I am glad that I made it.

I found several Cat Poems that I will share with you over the next week. I thought Jamaka would enjoy them. This is a short one by an unknow poet. Joan.

Cats are Wonderful Friends

Gentle eyes that see so much,paws that have the quiet touch,Purrs to signal "all is well"and show more love than words could tell.Graceful movements touched with pride,a calming presence by our side A friendship that takes time to grow Small wonder why we love them so.

That is real good Joan, I read it to Prince and I am sure that he smiled at me, DAD .

You can now advertise in Dad's journal, it is very inexpensive, we are presently read in over 103 countries and over 3500 cities of this world 6 days each week.

WEDNESDAYS ENTRY # TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FOURTY ONE

The weather is sill very cold, we have an 18 low, so today is another poem reading day, and we can't find any better ones than these below by Edgar Guest.
...


The Joys We Miss.
.
Edgar Guest
..
There never comes a lonely day but that we miss the laughing ways
Of those who used to walk with us through all our happy yesterdays.
We seldom miss the earthly great--the famous men that life has known--
But, as the years go racing by, we miss the friends we used to own.
The chair wherein he used to sit recalls the kindly father true
For, Oh, so filled with fun he was, and, Oh, so very much he knew!
And as we face the problems grave with which the years of life are filled.
We miss the hand which guided us and miss the voice forever stilled.
We little guessed how much he did to smooth our pathway day by day,
How much of joy he brought to us, how much of care he brushed away;
But now that we must tread alone the thorough-fare of life, we find
How many burdens we were spared by him who was so brave and kind.
Death robs the living, not the dead--they sweetly sleep whose tasks are done;
But we are weaker than before who still must live and labor on.
For when come care and grief to us, and heavy burdens bring us woe,
We miss the smiling, helpful friends on whom we leaned long years ago.
We miss the happy, tender ways of those who brought us mirth and cheer;
We never gather round the hearth but that we wish our friends were near;
For peace is born of simple things--a kindly word, a goodnight kiss,
The prattle of a babe, and love--these are the vanished joys we miss.
.

It Couldn't Be Done.
...
Edgar Guest
...
Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That "cannot be done," and you'll do it.
..

BASIC RULES FOR CLOTHES LINES .
( All this below about washing clothes is from Sue. Thank you so much Sue.)
.
Even if you are too young to remember....
I Had to send this because it actually was the way things were. Remember?
.
You have to be a certain age to appreciate this. I can
Hear my mother now.... Come on Ray today is wash day, and I always helped her the whole day. I was the oldest one in the family.

THE BASIC RULES FOR CLOTHESLINES: (if you don't know
what clotheslines are, better skip this)
..
1. You had to wash the clothes line before hanging any clothes -
walk the entire lengths of each line with a damp cloth around the lines.
2. You had to hang the clothes in a certain order, and
always hang "whites" with "whites," and hang them first.
3. You never hung a shirt by the shoulders - always by
the tail!. What would the neighbors think?
4. Wash day on a Monday! . .. . Never hang clothes on the
Weekend, or Sunday, for Heaven's sake!
5. Hang the sheets and towels on the outside lines so you
could hide your "unmentionables" in the middle (perverts &
Busybodies, y'know!)
6. It didn't matter if it was sub zero weather . . ....
Clothes would "freeze-dry.."
7. Always gather the clothes pins when taking down dry
clothes! Pins left on the lines were "tacky!"
8. If you were efficient, you would line the clothes up so that
each item did not need two clothes pins, but shared one of the
clothes pins with the next washed item..
9. Clothes off of the line before dinner time, neatly
folded in the clothes basket, and ready to be ironed.
10. IRONED?! Well, that's a whole other subject!
.
This above brings back so many memories to me. It's because I have experienced everything mentioned above. My life has passed so fast and I do appreciate all that my Dad & mom done for me. You that are young today be good to your Dad & Mon because they will not be with you forever. DAD
...

A Poem.
..
A clothesline was a news forecast
To neighbors passing by,
There were no secrets you could keep
When clothes were hung to dry.
It also was a friendly link
For neighbors always knew
If company had stopped on by
To spend a night or two.
For then you'd see the "fancy sheets"
And towels upon the line;
You'd see the "company table cloths"
With intricate designs.
The line announced a baby's birth
From folks who lived inside -
As brand new infant clothes were hung,
So carefully with pride!
The ages of the children could
So readily be known
By watching how the sizes changed,
You'd know how much they'd grown!
It also told when illness struck,
As extra sheets were hung;
Then nightclothes, and a bathrobe, too,
Haphazardly were strung.
It also said, "Gone on vacation now"
When lines hung limp and bare.
It told, "We're back!" when full lines sagged
With not an inch to spare!
New folks in town were scorned upon
If wash was dingy and gray,
As neighbors carefully raised their brows,
And looked the other way . .
But clotheslines now are of the past,
For dryers make work much less.
Now what goes on inside a home
Is anybody's guess!
I really miss that way of life.
It was a friendly sign
When neighbors knew each other best
By what hung on the line.
