Saturday, July 11, 2009. Thought for the day:. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of anything. 8230;……………………………………………………. This has been a busy week. Strange, too, because Grandma’s calendar didn’t have much of anything marked on it so we thought we’d have the whole week to kind of lay back and relax. Ha! That pretty well shot Monday and Tuesday; but wait! Labels: A Day In The Life Of. July 11, 2009 at 6:13 PM. July 11, 2009 at 10:45 PM.

Grandpa Ralph's Corner: August 2009
http://grandparalphscorner.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 17, 2009. Thought for the day:. Today is the day to make memories. Being a teenager in the 1940s was considerably different than being one in today's society. Although there were none of the $100 per pair sneakers, i-pods, cell phones etc., there. How hard could it be? Sounded like my kind of job- just sit in the shade and pick up pieces of fruit; and for that I'd get 12 cents a lug. What a deal! Bend over, pick them up,. Put them in a large hug. Neither did I, but I soon learned. Afte...

Sunday, June 21, 2009. Thought for the day:. Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. 8230;…………………………………………………. These, I believe, are some of the qualities that shape the man, that separate the winners from the also-rans. These are the qualities that defined and sustained Emmett’s life for more than 97 years. Happy Father’s Day, Dad! Labels: Fathers Day 2009. June 21, 2009 at 9:43 PM. I love you, Dad. June 21, 2009 at 10:35 PM.

I think we ought to work that into our conversations every once in awhile),. But I didn’t feel that we could afford the $25 they were asking for their product. Their entrepreneurship, though, made me get to thinking about what I did as a youth to earn a few bucks. To have (see pages 31-35 of my book, “My Conscience Wears Size Twelve ...

http://grandparalphscorner.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 26, 2009. Getting back to the story.Uncle Jim was a milk man, and a good one with a pretty large route to run every day. One of the days we were visiting, he asked me if I wanted to go along with him on his route. I felt really excited—and honored—to have been asked and, of course, told him I’d like that. 8221; he said, “we’ll leave here to pick up my load of milk at 3:00 tomorrow morning. I’ll set the alarm for you so you’ll be ready.”. How about a bucket of hot coals? Things went pretty we...

Monday, June 22, 2009. Thought for the day:. Success isn’t in holding a good hand, but in playing a poor hand well. 8230;…………………………………………………. Yesterday was officially Fathers’ Day. I say. Well, I’ll bring this to a close but frankly, I hope the whole world looks in on this blog so they will know how blessed Grandma and I are to have the kind of genuine love and recognition we get from our family. About the riddle, why is a dying man like as cobbler? Punctuate this passage so that it makes sense:. Its a v...

Saturday, June 27, 2009. Thought for the day:. True friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. The same goes for true love. 8230;……………………………………………………. In addition to those typical “swell” jottings, though, there are some that are unusual—even kind of funny. For instance:. 8220;I hope you sit on a tack and rise rapidly.”. 8220;When you get old and have no teeth, call on me to chew your beef.”. 8220;From one ham to another, you’re the cream of the crop.”. 8220;…You do not need to b...

Thursday, August 6, 2009. Thought for the day:. If you want to make your dreams come true, you have to get out of bed. Our knees instead of. So, what's the big deal? You may ask,. Why not just go out and buy some furniture that fits your delicate frame? Well, that's a logical question and life really should be all that easy. The truth is, though, that while life is a lot of fun, it is seldom very simple. And therein lies our problem. Let me explain. Now, moving on to a more recent time. Or haters; this.
