Today is supposed to be something special, but I can’t think of what it is. I know this is the last day of the year but is that what’s special? December 31st, what is special about that date?
Well, we might think of it later, let us venture on and see what this wonderful article is about. Now the title line reads, “Do they grow”. I wonder what the author has in mind with that title line question. Many things grow, and in most cases we don’t need to ask the question, as we see these items grow. In this setting, the author is not talking about a plant or young animals.
Saturday evening my spouse of almost 5 decades had friends over for a meal and a lot of conversation (aka party), here at the Ford Homestead. Now she did prepare a full blown meal for this group of female subjects and it appears they enjoyed themselves.
I, being a male subject was expelled from the property and I was able to request and receive asylum at the neighbors Man Cave. There was another male subject whose spouse was attending the festival at the Ford Homestead, and he also was able to find accommodations at this friend’s man cave. There were three of us male subjects present. The TV was on and College Football was being played.
Some history at this point, might be beneficial. The three of us have known each other for 35 plus years. Our kids all grew up here in this neighborhood. During those years, we at various times, went fishing together. We sometimes camped out with the kids and sometimes just fished for several hours at night and then returned home. History information complete.
The three of us in the Man Cave kinda watching TV, we all had an adult beverage or two. As the evening progressed, we began to harken back to the olden days, each of us relating an old memory or two, and then asking if the others remembered that time. I am not going to attempt to impart any of these memories, even though they were good times, and we did have a lot of fun fishing with the kids along, and at times without the kids.
What I found interesting about the evening was that some of the memories seemed to have grown, over the years. So my title question, “Do they grow”, would in this setting seem to have an answer of, “Yes they do grow”. If you caught 30 crappie 25 years ago, the amount may have grown to 75 crappie today. Now you understand, “They do grow”!
December 31st is a special day, it is my sister’s birthday. She was born on December 31st 1928. For that one person who failed in the math class, she will be 90 years old.
Happy 90th Birthday Wilda!
