My lovely Sister Barb sent me this quote. It is one that explains exactly what is happening to folks here in the world as we see it today. My feelings exactly.
I just think that in our material consciousness, that our lives of existence have been made so easy by technology, that our human struggle to do the right thing is shutting down.
I want to thank your for your stories – the North Bay Nugett has your stories in the Saturday paper and the paper is not read unless your story is there.
I never miss your column in the North Bay Nugget or Community Voice. I Love it. Reminds me of my Grandfather A gentle hard working orderly person who never wasted a thing in his life and could make me a whistle or a toy or a very useful item out of something he knew the exact where-abouts-of. He went overseas during World War I, and the only stories I remember him telling were in relation to the kindly and appreciative people he met and the countryside. He raised a wonderful family of 5 after his wife died in child-birth. Mom was the oldest and had to quit school at the age of 13 to stay home with her siblings. You are so right. It WAS a hard life, but those people will never be forgotten. Thanks for keeping their memories alive. Elva
