I wish I were the local weatherman- To want to be able to predict just what to expect when i walk out the door. lately it has been a mixed bag. Hot, warm, cool, cold, damp, dampish, foggy, misty, chilly and seemingly nothing normal for this time of year.

And I just can’t believe it is late March. It seems the years is just melting away into nothingness. The days, to me, are so short. I seem to remember as a child, the day went on and on and on. One could do a thousand things and then still have time do more. But to quote a former presidential hopeful, Adlai Stevenson-“We must not look back a great yesterdays, we must look forward to great tomorrows.”

Once his sister, Mrs. Earnest Ives, a part time Southern Pines resident was in my antiques shop browsing. I felt I should make a good impression, so mentioned that I remembered those words of her brother. Without batting an eye she replied- “Yes  dear, he said a lot of nice things- How much is that pine table?”

But there i go- dwelling on the past again! I really should be looking forward to great great tomorrows . . . I know they are just around the corner . . . locating that corner is the next hurdle.

N.A. Booko- Looking for a hula hoop that does it on its own- without me exerting the energy.
