When our children were very little, they struggled  to sit in the uncomfortable car seats we had purchased. I focused on getting the best seats we could afford. I did some research to look for ones with the highest approval ratings which met the most safety regulations. I read from ALL THE LEADING sources: Better Homes and Gardens, Traditional Home, Southern Living and Sports Illustrated.   I later discovered our purchase had been designed by experts in human torture from the Dark Ages.

Recently some of my former high school classmates met to catch up with each other. Yarns were told and retold.   Our stories seem to have grown over the years.  All that was needed for riotous laughter was for someone to say, “Do you remember (insert teacher’s name) and (insert student’s name) and then (insert the incident).” I love to tease my cherished high school friend, Mary Beth Sadler Shumate about an event our freshman year in English class.

Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wondrous works!  Psalm 105:2In the 1960s and 70s, Jake Hess was the host of Nashville Channel 5’s gospel music program, Old Time Singing Convention.  This program had a simple format. Hess played studio-produced videotapes of various professional and semi-pro Southern gospel groups. During the show, he announced area singing events and other happenings in the gospel industry.

I immediately thought that she needed a “barber’s plank”. My mind instantly raced back to the mid-to-late 1960s and my place in the barber’s chair in Guthrie, Ky.Mr. Warren Pritchett was the only game in town when it came to barber shops in Guthrie.

As Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote, “In spring, a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” Valentine’s Day was always an exciting time for the Eagles of Guthrie Elementary as we looked forward to our class party. Exchanging Valentine’s Day cards with our friends was an annual event. A top priority was creating a unique desktop mailbox. Those who had just received shoes for Christmas found the empty boxes to be a perfect card receptacle.
