Gene and Roy

 Our brother and sister-in-law went to a performance of the "Sons of the Pioneers", last week. However, no one they know, in their Texas town, was old enough to remember that illustrious Western Swing Group, so they had to call us, their oldest living relatives, in order to find folks to tell about their experience.

If you mention phone booths, door to door delivery of milk and live phone operators, to your children, they might call your doctor. They probably never went to a shoe store, where clerks fitted and helped you choose shoes. You have to be at least 70, to know about or have experienced most of those things. Do they still have stick shift or manual shift cars? Who remembers gasoline, with lead, and the men who used to pump it in the gas tank for you. Linoleum floors? If you do, you're old.

Old is okay. Old makes you wiser, although very few young folks will give you credit for knowing anything. But, we know they will appreciate our knowledge, eventually.......when they are old and they themselves are, "Drifting Along with the Tumbling Tumbleweeds".

Dear Lord, Your Steadfast Love Endures Forever.
