April 17th and the living is easy

Sharen and I continue to enjoy our new house , Sharen has reachieved a cold from somewhere and is not up to babying me so I have to do things on my own.  How far the great has fallen I have to make my own coffee,  and get up and find books on my own etc.  I continue to feel weak but I am feeling very good.  I got to take a header trying to bring my breakfast and a fresh cup of coffee to my favorite  chair my head did a triple  bounce  on the left frontal lob which wouldn't be to bad but I ended up laying in my coffee and sugar flakes.  Sharen had to get out of her sick bed and get me standing someday I should make a video of this operation and post it to help other people but that will be a distance in the future.

 

I am from a very small town in Michigan called Kalamo.  When I was a in filth grad I got a paper route it was 5 miles long and memory tells me I had 30 customers,  If everyone payed I would make $5.00 per week but everyone would never pay so I would continue to try to collect during the week.  You must get enough money to pay for the papers by Tuesday which was $10.00 and what was left was mine or $5.00.  I had to run a bill at the Kalamo store to help pay for my mallow cups that was a good investment if anyone remembers mallow cups came with a money card which entitled you to bye mallow cups.   There wasn't a barrel stove in the store but that would have fit perfectly when I got to the store I was half way around my route so I would stop and shoot the bull for a while to see what was going.  Interesting people I met were the Tinker Brothers they would come to Town every few weeks in an early ford could be a model B but not sure.  The boys were not married and from the looks of them they would change there bibs once a year.  So they would sit in front of a heat source and chew tobacco all winter and toward spring they would come into the store and the front of there bibs were stiff with tobacco drool there face and beard were packed full of the same tobacco also there was an Oder that would require opening the door when they left for clean air.  From my memory I think they were strong Democrats and people enjoyed making political fun when they were around they had developed interesting language skills could there be a more perfect place for a young man to spend time.

 

Please continue to pray for us and may God continue to bless us all.
