Country Comments

Please take the time during this Thanksgiving week to read the following letter from Rev. Chuck Swindoll. My love affair with Thanksgiving takes me all the way back to my boyhood days. I had just turned 10 years of age and was in fifth grade at Southmayd Elementary School in East Houston.

To my knowledge there is not a ROMEO Club in our area. After reading the following, I believe it is a club I would want to join….. Chuck had a pleasant conversation with his new friend Barney who’d recently turned ninety. “It would be wonderful to see more of you,” Barney said. Chuck agreed.

A special thank you to one of our readers who sent the following. It is great! MOM WINS! My son came home from school one day, With a smirk upon his face. He decided he was smart enough, To put me in my place. HE SAID: “Guess what I learned in Civics Two, that’s taught by Mr. Wright?

  Quote of the week . . . “Some people grow up and spread cheer . . others just grow up and spread.” —CC— I recently celebrated another birthday and continue to enjoy life. The older I get the more I enjoy looking back at the “good ol’ days.

Poor Labor Day—the most underrated and unheralded of American holidays. It slides by almost as an afterthought in a distracted mix of resignation and dread, without a single aisle at Walgreen’s dedicated to its approach.
