Something From the Past

While researching my family lineage, I came in contact with a cousin I haven't seen since high school. He told me of a pencil he found while cleaning out his mother's house after her death. He sent me the pencil. It was an advertising tool for my Uncle Cliff's business, truck hauling. It says "You Do The Calling And We'll Do The Hauling. Cliff Kalkwarf  Dayton, Iowa  Phone 547-2321" I plan to pass it on to my cousin Joyce in memory of her father.

Where Are My Eyeglasses??


 I have at least a couple dozen pair of "Granny glasses." I try to keep one or two pair in every room in our house, plus the car and golf cart. For some reason, they never seem to be where I need them and tend to collect in various spots around the house. Oh well, thank you, Mr. Franklin, for inventing eye glasses and allowing me to read so many books these past 30 years.
