Notes from the Birdhouse – Myrtle May Long, Long Gone

by The Bird House

Oh the memories, the memories.  Myrtle May homely and white… what a gal.  She was always there for me.  If ever I had a spontaneous thought, she was right there to encourage me to go for it.  She was more than willing to ride out the storms that came and went.  She was there when I would break out in uncontrollable laughter.  She was there for me to lean on, to cry on.  When I found myself missing my grands she took me to see them.  She took me to take care of my son while he was in cancer treatment.  She carried me to my dad’s funeral.  She absolutely loved to go camping.  She was hardy and robust; she could pull a hill that made most men shiver.  I loved Myrtle May. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Follow Me to the Senior Center – Cool — Not Cool

by Mountain Seniors

By Carl and Jo Ann Hauser
Some time back in the dark ages, you know, the late 50s, there was an odd group of musicians called the Beatniks. They frequently used the expression, “Cool, Man.” Then it got shortened to just “Cool.” The Beatniks weren’t cool for very long, but it became cool to say, “Cool.” To say “Cool” stayed cool until the early 70s. Then it was no longer cool to say, “Cool.” (Got it?) ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
