wesley_bunch writes "If yall were to talk to the city officials about getting a skatepark built, I think it would keep some of the kids out of trouble. They won't mess up our image of the town by scratching up all the rails and it will keep them from skating on your property and scaring off custormers. So please talk to everyone you know about it please.
Thank you and have a nice day."

I am not going to do Christmas this year. That’s the end of it. No cooking the turkey and all of the deserts and all of the dirty dishes. All of those crowds at the shopping malls and the endless lines at the checkout counter, not this time. Looking at this gift and looking at that gift while making sure everyone’s name has been marked off of the list. No way. Christmas carols on every radio station and Christmas movies on every television station. As soon as I see “It’s a Wonderful Life” show up on the TV screen, the clicker is going to fire up and change the channel. No Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed in my house this year. In fact, I am going to leave town and go on a cruise in the Caribbean and leave Christmas completely behind. Adios Santa Claus.

Farming during the drought years that were the 1950s was tough, and revenue sources were hard to come by. Crops were poor, and Dad had to rely upon the bank for a loan every spring to finance seed, fertilizer, tractor fuel, and field labor to plant and eventually harvest the crops.
Custom combining, doing harvesting work for other people, was one way we tried to earn a few extra dollars. Dad bought a little orange colored Allis-Chalmers grain reaping machine called a combine. The one we got was not the latest model. It was powered from the tractor PTO instead of having its own separate engine.

Everybody in Kerens is a redneck, no doubt about it. All Kerens people drive pickups and have guns either behind or underneath the seat. Oh, and don’t forget the dog in the back of the pickup either. When you lean over, you either spit snuff or a wad of chewing tobacco out on the street. When your forehead sweats, you pull your hat off and wipe your face with a red bandana, and then you swat flies with it and put it back on. In every Kerens living room hangs a portrait of John Wayne, and whenever we hear the words “Bill Clinton” we all hiss and spit like rattle snakes.

Christmas comes but once a year, but it is a time that calls forth memories like no other season. There is much to remember in our family, particularly of childhood Christmas seasons–a tree decorated with chains of red and silver tinsel strands, chains of threaded cranberries and popcorn, alternating red and white, all the old Christmas ornaments, tinsel, and artificial snow. And didn’t the tree always stand in the northwest corner of our living room? And wasn’t there always a star on top of the tree?

They not only sell computers, but also do repair work on your computers. There was a lot of people and good food including yours truly. They are located at 411 West First Street here in Corsicana, Texas. They also have an internet website.

I'm glad they are here."

Homecoming Dance at the Alumni Center
November 11th, 200
|
|
That last dance we had at the Alumni Center at Homecoming, it was a good one. I can say that even though I never hit the floor a single time but instead enjoyed many other aspects of these once in a while events. Even if you do not dance, this is an event where you can listen to the music, you can watch the hometown folks have a good time, and be up town on Main Street on a Saturday night enjoying a good session of conversation with friends.
On this particular homecoming night, I got to see all three of the Tekell sisters together for the first time in several hundred moons. Melinda, Glenda, and Tanya sitting at side by side tables right next to the Main Street where they all grew up as little girls in Kerens. These girls and their late parents, Billy Bob and Marilyn, have been a big part of Kerens for many years.

Staying Off of Drugs (A Satire by Ivan R. Vernon)
|
|
ivan writes "A recent article discussing today’s epidemic of drugs around Kerens caught my attention. The author was of the viewpoint that drug users seem to adopt their loathsome and self-destructive habits because of lack of anything better to do. Kerens was identified as a place with no jobs and no social events, and as a place from which many people have no opportunity of departing. This article set me thinking about an earlier Kerens generation, the one of which I am a member, and I began to reflect upon the kind of activities available to us in those days."

There is a relatively new educational philosophy that suggests the desirability of praising children and avoiding negative comments and remarks at all costs. This philosophy apparently has the objectives of creating motivation and assisting children in developing feelings of self-esteem. The philosophy suggests the desirability of offering constant praise to children, bathing them in praise, so to say, with the thought that in this heightened state of self-worth they will feel more like improving their performance.

Homecoming Golf Tournament
November 4th, 2002
|
|
As the sun popped over the horizon, the members of each team were stretching their muscles and getting ready to make a run for the grand prize. An air of nervous electricity was crackling around us as each player wondered how he would perform when the chips were finally pushed to the middle of the table. Would the correct decision be made during a time of critical need, or would that neck collar tighten up and cause the dreaded choke to cloud the day.

Use It Up, Wear It Out
The decade of the fifties was not the age of affluence on most family farms, certainly not on ours. A big family with limited income had to learn lots of ways to get by with very little expenditure of cash. The old depression era saying still held real meaning for us: “Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.” Our family learned a multitude of ways to give practical meaning to this old adage.

randyghughes writes "The other night I saw a wonderful movie, "Swingshift." It stars Goldie Hawn, Christine Lahti, Ed Harris, and Fred Ward. It's all about the decade 1940s when men went off to war and the ladies worked in the factories to help the war effort. It was a wonderful movie with some dreamy music from the Big Band era. A very good movie I think you can rent on dvd. It was an enjoyable movie."

Emmitt Smith Breaks Record
October 28th, 2002
|
|
The most anticipated event of the 21st century came to past last weekend right in the middle of a drizzling Sunday afternoon. Rockets were flying in the air, thousands of balloons were let loose and dancers were parading in front of a gigantic crowd. Most people were cheering wildly while others were shedding tears in a moment of unmatchable emotional exhilaration.
All of you Ladies out there know exactly what happened and some of you guys probably had an inkling of history in the making. This was the weekend that Emmitt Smith of the Mighty Dallas Cowboys shattered the all-time NFL gridiron rushing record. It was a real football day for those who swear by the pigskin and snap to attention each time a coin is tossed.
