The Older You Get, the Younger You Stay
Dateline Dayton —Yesterday was my 70th birthday. I really don’t feel any different today than I did yesterday, or for that matter the day before yesterday. Actually, I still think of myself as young, although I don’t have the energy I did years ago, but I’m 70 and still have most of my hair, although it’s really getting gray.
Pausing to Mourn
Dateline Dayton — Every day while eating breakfast, I read the obituary column in the newspaper. From this column I find out how I should proceed with plans for the day. Not seeing my name listed, I know God has given me another day, for which I’m thankful.
A Paradise for Collectors
Dateline Dayton —More travels with our Australian visitors.
At 3 a.m. on a Wednesday, the four of us — Milton, Bob, Howard and I — were on the road headed to Wisconsin. Racine would be the first stop on our way to the Cash Register Collectors Club meeting and swap meet, in St. Charles, IL.

A Postcard from Florida

So You Want to be a Potter?
Dateline Dayton —If you have followed my essays for some time, you may remember in December 2009 I wrote about our Thanksgiving trip to Gatlinburg.
Pardon Me While I Mount My Favorite Soapbox
Dateline Dayton —Went to get my soapbox today, only to find it has became very worn. The box belonged to my Uncle Paul, who used it as a step for getting in and out of the back of his van. He attached a rope to the box so he could easily retrieve it from either the van or the ground.
A Painting of Undreamed Value
Dateline Dayton —This past Saturday was the Learning Tree Farm’s 11th annual Antiques Appraisal Event. I have been involved with the Learning Tree for over thirty years, and presently I am President of the Board.
