Many nights the Drive-In Owner sponsored family night. They charged a flat rate of three dollars per carload. A family of fourteen could afford to have a family outing at those prices. Childhood Memories – What Happened to Drive-In Movies: Eight for a Buck Another great childhood memory  I experienced was going to a little take-out hamburger joint and getting “eight for a buck.” “Eight for a buck” was eight hamburgers for [...]

Decisions can be hard, easy, or they can be made with little conscience effort, but we all make choices. And…all of us make good and bad decisions. Commitment – Hallmark to Great Decisions: Unconscious Decisions An unconscious decision might be brushing your teeth in the morning. Habits are formed by making repetitive choices over time.

Times were simpler. Things weren’t perfect, but life was less hectic. Of an evening, my friends and I sat on the curb in front of our local candy store and mixed peanuts with cola and drank the concoction. Nothing tasted better than peanuts and cola. Well…maybe cream puffs were better, (ours were real cream), and hot pecan pie with ice cream was better, but as an affordable treat for kids…nothing beat peanuts and cola. Kids Education – [...]

I’m not talking about a high school sweetheart. I’m talking about the first person you had a “crush on.” The girl in sixth grade that made you blush every time you walked past her in the hall. Times were simpler when I was growing up. We didn’t have television shows parading girls around half naked back then. It was a time when a smile from a girl made your entire day. We were taught to cherish girls. They were graceful, they [...]

She was a true example of a loving wife and mother. I hope mothers everywhere know their example has a lifetime effect on family members. They are truly a gift from God.
