HAPPY THURSDAY !
Driving home from work yesterday, I felt like I was in one of those balls where you shake it up and see the snow flying around. Only I didn’t see snow, but leaves! It was very windy and the leaves were everywhere.
Southeastern Ohio had tornado warnings. This is very unusual in the fall. Tornados usually happens in the spring. The ‘S’ word is in the forecast for today. Much colder.
Have a great day ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY IS...TOOTHPASTE DAY !
The first known toothpaste was made by Egyptian physicians in 2000 B.C. They mixed powdered pumice stone with wine vinegar and brushed it on with a chewing stick. The Romans later used human urine instead of wine because they thought it whitened the teeth. They were right. Urine continued to be used in toothpaste and mouthwash until the 18th century. Modern toothpastes use ammonia to get the same cleaning action today

TODAY'S SMILE
Dear Son:
Your Paw has a job. It's the first one he had in forty-eight years since we have been married. We are a little better off now, because we have so much money now we don't know what to do with it. Paw gets $17.15 every Thursday, so we thought we ought to do something about fixing up the house. We sent to Sears & Roebuck for one of those bathrooms you hear people having in houses. It took a plumber to put it in shape.
On one side of the bathroom is a great long thing something like a pig trough, only you get in it and wash all over. Over on the other side is a little white thing they call a sink where you wash your face and hands. But over in the corner we really got something. This thing, you put one foot in, wash it clean, then you pull the chain & get fresh water for the other foot.
Two lids come with the thing. We got no use for them in the bathroom so I'm using one for the bread board. The other lid has a hole in it so we use it for a frame for grandfather's picture. Sears & Roebuck are real nice people to deal with. They sent us a roll of paper with the outfit. We can't write on it very well, so I'm using it to wrap Paw's lunch.
Take care of yourself.
AND FROM THE NEWS…

TODAY'S REFLECTION
Love...always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres
1 Corinthians 13:7
Is this possible? What a long time Always is and for everyone and everything in our life! Imagine, always enduring wrongs and evils; always believing only the best of others; always hoping, even when facts and faces appear hopeless; always recommencing and recompensing ...
Graces such as these grow in the time, thought and prayer we give them. It is a rare youth who understands, much less covets, what slows him in his rush to live. But the older person looks back and knows love and what it encompasses is indeed the true victory
