Thoughts While Shaving archive

It’s mid September, days beginning to get shorter, cooler weather … Tuesday’s high temp was in the low to mid 70s … Overnight lows in the low to mid 60s.

Today’s weather forecast … A chance of showers and thunderstorms, mostly after 5 p.m. Otherwise, mostly sunny with a high near 85 … 30% chance of precipitation … Tonight, a chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 8 p.m. Mostly cloudy with a low around 66 and a 30% chance of rain.

Thursday, a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 p.m. Partly sunny with a high near 83 … 40% chance of precipitation…

Beginning Friday and continuing thru early next week … Mostly sunny with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s … Nice … Football weather…

As a youngster, it was time to gather the balance of the crop … corn, peanuts, cotton … and tobacco…

I think often of the time of year … hot dog roast … maybe a few marshmallows at a church party … Sunday School class get-to-gether…

High school football, homework … and, later, making sure there was dry wood and splinters for the fireplace or the heater…

As we grow older, we forget … It was not easy, but not bad … Wonder where old so-and-so is now … moved on years ago … haven’t heard from them in years…

A real treat was a trip to the tobacco market … and, later, to the Clarkton Tobacco Festival … spend the night in a warehouse … Lots of memories…

Get married, have a family … look forward to the children and grandchildren coming for Sunday lunch and some time to catch-up on the news…

Sometimes we forget…
