Here’s another little snippet in the memory book that I recently finished for my kids.
“My teenage memories are filled with sports and my friends. That whole rebellion thing didn’t have space in our house. Pap would be disappointed in me, which would hurt like the dickens. Mama had a temper, which would hurt like the dickens.
“Both were strong people who were not afraid of their children. They were not afraid of us not liking them and they were not afraid we would turn on them. We weren’t stupid. Fred and I were certainly adventurous, but we didn’t often step over the line the parents drew. And the parents trusted us, so the line wasn’t unreasonable.”
Trust is important in relationships. Don’t be underhanded and then don’t trust those who don’t trust you. It’s good words to follow.
There are some other good words that I recently read. I have been looking forward to sharing them!
For my friends who know their geography: “I thought I saw an eye doctor in Alaska, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.”
For my spacey friends: “I went to the Air and Space Museum, but I couldn’t’ see anything.”
For my grammarian friends: “English is weird. It can be understood through tough, thorough thought though.”
That last one took awhile to read, didn’t it?
Another one for English fans: “The past, the present, and the future walking into a bar. It was tense.”
For Davin Winger: “Irony. The opposite of wrinkly.”
For my dad: “Sawdust is man glitter.”
Good words to follow, right?
I have something else you might want to follow. Check out these houses that were listed on the Friends of the Library Tour of Lights 2018. Drive by and check out the decorations at 806 NW 22nd Street, 1613 N Main Street, 1418 N Beaver Street, 223 S Canyon Street, and 2111 N Canyon Street. You can oooh and aahh to your hearts content. And I personally love the lights at Guymon Furniture on 5th and Roosevelt. They’re beautiful.
The Friends of the Library Tour of Lights was made possible by TCEC, PTCI, Main Street Guymon, and Wirtz Lumber. Fine group of folks there, for sure.
See you on the bricks!
