Hello All
About those pesky apostrophes, I really am concerned. I see them misused or
not used a lot. I spent a lot of time in school learning about these things.
And, I have studied this problem for awhile now. I think most of the problem
is that it is overlooked in lessons now or a typo. Sometimes even auto
corrector messes it up. And, sometimes it is just a mistake. As a college
instructor grading final projects, if there is a formal paper, I think this
needs to be attended to and done right.
As for a wake up call, I get up about 430 every morning. Sometimes, I take a
mid morning nap before my early afternoon nap, but I use The Andy Griffith Show
Theme as the alarm. While it wake you up, wide awake, I just feel good knowing
I will have a Mayberry Day.
The Bed Jacket episode is such a sweet episode. It really showed how Andy felt
about Aunt Bee. Nowadays we don't worry about gloves, hats, purses, nor bed
jackets. But, there was a time when they were considered. When I went to the
hospital to have wisdom teeth removed in 1976, Mama insisted I have a bed
jacket to wear in the hospital bed to greet visitors. This was not to be
confused with the robe I was to wear when I went to the restroom. Even as far
back as then, Mama had trouble finding one. But, she found it. I greeted my
visitors appropriately dressed. While my mama was in her last days, I made
sure, as visitors came to call she had her bed jacket on. I know it meant
something to her. That's what counted. I miss wearing white gloves or pearled
gloves to church on Sunday. I have carpal tunnel and sometimes my hands are
just cold. I wear fingerless gloves for that and knitted gloves to match my
coat when I can. I guess I am just old fashioned that way.
And seeing Aunt Bee bounce on that piano stool and rip the piano apart white
Toot toot tootsie is always a way to make my day. There's Marshall Dillion,
where's Chester?
