Show Does What You Give Husband Mean Anything by Mary West Would you say that all of the glamour and romance has gone from your marriage when you give your husband five garbage cans, a shop broom, and a claw hammer for his birthday? Do you remember how you use to love to lie in the grass and now your afraid to look at it for fear that it needs to be mowed. Remember when you could hardly wait to be older, and how now you would rather not think about birthdays. Oh, the joy of going to Grandpa's house, and suddenly you are Grandpa. A friend mentioned that he use to like to pitch hay, but it wasn't with a pitchfork. Remember how someone who was 30 was old, and how agonizing it was to turn thirty, but now 40 or 50 is young. A few years ago it seemed that a special trip or outing would never get here, and now the months seem to pass so quickly that its time to think of Christmas again before you know it. It's amazing how you look forward when you are young, but the older one gets, the more one looks back. Life holds so many different pleasures and enjoyments at different ages. Life is constantly changing. Each day we can discover something new, somethink interesting if we only open our eyes. Each of us has opinions and ideas according to our age. Social Security is good for the elderly, but the younger people don't care too much for it. We're getting a new road on 500 North and there are a lot of different opinions. Older folks don't need it because they drive less. The farther up the street you drive the more you realize the necessity. I'm kind of half way in the middle and I'm for progress and making Pleasant Grove a better place to live. The more frontage one has the less they like the project, but if you make five or six trips a day you really are glad that we're getting the road. At any rate I think 40 is a good age, I like the new road, I hate mowing lawns, I like to walk with my friends, I really hate weeds and maybe I'll change my mind on all these things in the next ten years. |
