I have fooled around and ‘caught’ a head cold … not sure the proper term … feel like ‘crap’, but getting better. Wish mom were still living, she was a magician … 6 children, home remedies, no chance of a trip to the doctor, unless very, very sick…

She had good training, her mother, my grandmother, lived her early years on South River, off NC 210. We would visit her family occasionally, but when we left home, we all knew she would need to stop along the way so she could gather ‘hound tongue’, maybe not hound tongue, but some type weed, something growing near the WWII monument … and when she suffered from a headache, head cold, most anything, she wrapped whatever she had gathered in a baby diaper or some other type wrapping, tied it around her head and was better in a short time…

I need one of them … ‘dang’ old head cold is difficult to ‘shake’ … all six of mom’s children celebrated together the past weekend … Maybe that’s where I ‘picked-up’ my ‘bug’ … no idea.

Nice article in NC Business magazine on Leinwands, Ricky Leinwand, the business and his dad and granddad … worth the price of the magazine…

We all swell with pride when one of our own is recognized…
