What's In A Label? By Narda Tate A little while back, I bought a new set of sheets for our king bed. What a delightful surprise to find that inside the fitted sheet were little sewn in labels actually marking the top or bottom of the sheet. What a marvelous idea! How many times had I previously gotten the bottom sheet placed on the bottom of the mattress only to find out I had put the side of the sheet on the bottom. Aaarrggh! Take it off, make a quarter turn and try again. Now before you think I am making a mountain out of a molehill, let me remind you that this was before the advent of fitted sheets with deep pockets. The sheets back then needed a great deal of strength, stamina and determination to get them onto the mattress properly. In fact, I had often thought of suggesting that they make this activity one of the Olympic competitions. This would not be for the faint of heart! But I had a revelation one time, that since I own these sheets, I could mark them with a magic marker and know before I started, which end was up -so to speak. I grabbed a marker of formidable size and marked my own label on the inside down at the elastic band. 3 cheers for me! Until, not too long ago, our company had departed.

Grandparents come to life in childhood memories By Kyle Ballou Honoring his grandparents, Hollis and Cressie Antle Out delivering, I passed by a place that made my heart flutter with memories. Homemade biscuits Grandma made with her rolling pin. Sausage and bacon from the hog they raised. A place where circus peanuts and hard candy sat in glass dishes on the counter, and homemade chocolate pies cooled beside chocolate oatmeal cookies for eager hands where the goodies never lasted long. Where the cold Mountain Dews waited in the bottom refrigerator drawer as a reward for a hard day's work.
