Did you ever play a game called “Post Office”? It was one of those adolescent kissing games that the kids would play at parties. I never was allowed to go to those kinds of parties and I never got to play that game. I don’t even know the rules.

Things Change

My mom was talking about the days when she was a kid in school. She says that the school would not let anyone go to public school if they were pregnant.
One of her friends turned up pregnant and her parents found out and told her she had to get an abortion, which was not even legal back then. So she and the guy who got her pregnant ran away together and no one ever heard from them again.
I can’t imagine the heartache all that must have caused. I’m glad we have much better attitudes about unplanned pregnancies in today’s world.
The thrill is gone

Thee is a great song by B. B. King called, “The Thrill is Gone.” I never really listened to the words before. It was one of those songs you’ve heard many times but didn’t really pay attention to. Until you are having problems with a certain someone. And now all of a sudden, I love that song.
Down at the Waterfront

Do you have good memories of “going down to the waterfront”? I believe the waterfront means a lot of different things to people, depending upon where they live. For some people, like those in New York City, the waterfront is the busy and dirty Hudson River, with boats of every size in ports, longshoremen working the docks, and it not being a safe place for decent people after dark. But for people in North Carolina, the waterfront means the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean.
I love the water, whether it is a river, the ocean or just a lake. If it has water deep enough for a boat, I can spend the entire day on the waterfront and have a wonderful time.
Luxury Raffles

Having raffles for a big grand prize is unlawful in Tennessee but is allowed in many more progressive states. Tennessee is backwards in a lot of things and we always blame it on the Bible Belt.
A friend of mine, Allison, was invited to a charity event while on vacation in Hawaii and she bought a $25 raffle ticket to join in the fun. First prize was a new car but second prize was a pair of $10,000 diamond earrings – and she won! I bet she will treasure those earrings for the rest of her life.
