Well, it's time to go. That chicken dinner with green beans, apple sauce,
mashed potatoes and homemade chicken gravy, homemade bread and
hand churned country butter sure hit the spot. And grandmother and Aunt
Esther served up ice cold sweetened tea if you like.
I hope we all said thanks because that's the Southern way of doing things.
All of us waved goodbye then Father opened the door for Mother with baby
Jerry in her arms and Roland and I jumped into the back fighting for our own
space and Father got into our big old car and headed back to our house on
Ottobine Road....

WORLD
I received this email just this morning:
Good news, Forrest!
Your postcard US-4251351 to ___________in India has arrived! It reached its
destination in 31 days after traveling 8,068 miles!
___________wrote you a message:
“Thank you for the postcard, Coins & the visiting card
We Indian's are we kindly & sweet
I would like to send a surprise for you So will you send me your address please!
Have a nice day!
Happy Postcrossing!”
I told you before that my son, Michael, and his wife, Erin, live in Omaha,
Nebraska. They did live an apartment complex, but now have a house.
I have visited several times when they still lived in the apartment complex
where several Indian (Asia) family's lived in that same complex and were
always polite, friendly and courteous to me.
And I will certainly send this someone from India in Asia my address.

MY OPINION
The above quote and the brief article from below gives me to believe that
medications, made by drug companies seeking huge profits, are forced on
unthinking people of the world.
Drug companies hire lobbyists, who in turn persuade leaders in governments
with money or other favors to convince the unknowing populace that medications
are necessary for survival.

IN THE FLOWER GARDEN WITH FORREST
I forgot to tell you that I waxed my Mother's 1986 Honda Accord on Wednesday
in between doing all the other work in the yard that I told you about.
I've always used the hard Turtle Wax. It requires a lot of hard work but I enjoying
doing it.
Yesterday I did absolutley nothing in the flower beds or yard. Cannot remember
doing that all Summer unless I had other responsibilities, of course. It's raining
today and it will rain tomorrow. A Farmer's rain and I can work in that, but I just
decided to take a break. I believe I deserve it.
And it's still raining (8:01 AM 10/21/2016).
We won't have to, I hope, to build a Noah's Arc because we are on just about the
highest ground around, but just in case, Bill and I may go to Lowes today and check
the prices of their lumber.
