This Popped Up From A Long Ago Post Of Mine….. Like Six Years Ago Today.

lewisotr

To clear the air a bit. A couple days ago, one of the members of this forum (FB Friend) chided me a bit for my misspelling and grammar usage. It was in a joking way and I really don’t care what she thinks, just because she has her teaching credentials. (Big deal Laurie – And I am really jabbing her for jabbing me) I’m not here to write a treatise that will end up in the Library of Congress. My point here in my posts are to convey my thoughts in a matter that would be liking to me speaking … Continue reading This Popped Up From A Long Ago Post Of Mine….. Like Six Years Ago Today.

The Way To Know When You Have Been To A Memorial Service For a Very Special Person

lewisotr

Today was the day of D. L. “Punk” Turner’s Memorial Service. A large crowd of people gathered to celebrate the life of Punk. Then a nice meal was enjoyed afterwards at the Oatmeal Community Center. The day was spent talking about the positive things about Punk. While there was sadness felt by all, because he will be missed, there was a joy in the air for what he meant to every person in attendance. Whether family or friend, whether life long friend or newly made friend, everyone could say that Punk left a mark on their life. The love, the … Continue reading The Way To Know When You Have Been To A Memorial Service For a Very Special Person

Is There Really Anything To A Dream?

lewisotr

A while back there was the post on here about not telling about a bad dream until after breakfast. Not knowing whether that applies to all dreams, I got up and had a bowl of Raisin Bran, just to keep it on the safe side. When we lived in Dripping Springs in the 1985-1991 timeframe, I along with my five sons were all baptized one Sunday morning by Rev. Grady Roe. It was in the fall of 1985. I had only given myself over to going to church real sparingly up to that point. I wasn’t sure I had the … Continue reading Is There Really Anything To A Dream?

Some History Of Feed Stores In Marble Falls – The Early Days

lewisotr

We ran across a receipt in an old wallet than belonged to my Grandfather, Theron Lewis. He passed away in 1958. The receipt was for a ton of cattle cubes from Winters Supply Company in Marble Falls. It was dated 8-12-1953. I was not familiar with the business so I called Sam Burnam to see if that was the same business owned by his family, maybe at an earlier time. According to Sam, it was a different business and location. Winters Supply was located at the back of Bill Smiths Mobil Station that was at Highway 281 and 4th Street, … Continue reading Some History Of Feed Stores In Marble Falls – The Early Days

Once Again Listening To The News Had My Head Spinning.

lewisotr

The Rock has offered to The President to help resolve the issues with Iran, to keep all out war from breaking out over there. I’m thinkIng what can a famous wrestler, Dewayne “The Rock” Johnson do to lessen tensions, but then after the relationship between Dennis Rodman and the little North Korean Dictator being what it is, maybe so. It was when I kept listening that I finally figured out it was Iraq, that was offering their help and not The Rock. Continue reading Once Again Listening To The News Had My Head Spinning.

Pénta Philia

lewisotr

I am no Greek Scholar, but it’s my understanding that the above term, Pénta Philia roughly translates to Five Friends. (Five really good friends) About 30 years ago I heard a guy on the radio give a shorty commentary speaking on this topic. I was so moved by what he said I wrote to the radio station and they sent me a transcript of his commentary. I had it taped up on the office wall for a long time. I wish I still had it. I thought long and hard about it, thinking the guy was full of it. But … Continue reading Pénta Philia
