As we were going through my grandmother's things after her passing, my wife came across a wonderful old composition book. It apparently belonged to my grandmother's grandmother and has just a few short pages. One of the pages is dated 1919. Another has a short treatise entitled "How to preserve a husband" which I share with you today.

  • Be careful in your selection, do not choose too young
  • When once selected, give your entire thought for domestic use
  • Some insist in keeping them in a pickle, others are constantly in hot water. This may make them sour, hard and sometimes bitter
  • Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good garnishing them with patience well sweetened with love and and seasoned with kisses
  • Wrap them in a mantle of charity
  • Keep warm with a fire of domestic devotion
  • And serve with peaches and cream
Thus prepared, they will keep you for years.

There are so many single mothers either due to divorce, death, fathers abandoning their families and children concieved out of wedlock. Some sources say that as many as 50% of children will spend at least part of their childhood with only one parent. As wonderful as mothers and women are, boys want and need a male role model to show them how a man acts. When there is not a father to provide this role model, it must come from somewhere else. If that role model is to come from TV, I would be hard pressed to name one that I like. The second thought come from working on getting my book ready for printing. I have been re-reading some my favorite things of what I had posted before. Topics like respect, humor, couresty, faithfulness, undestanding and gratitdue are common. The practice of
