Got this in my e-mail
A Keeper
Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friends lived barely a wave away. I can see them now, Dad in trousers, work shirt and a hat; and Mom in a house dress, lawn mower in one hand, and dish-towel in the other. It was the time for fixing things: a curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we keep.
It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing, re-heating leftovers, renewing; I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be more.
But when my mother died, and I was standing in that clear morning light in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more.
Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away...never to return. So... While we have it, it's best we love it... And care for it... And fix it when it's broken... And heal it when it's sick.
This is true: For marriage... And old cars... And children with bad report cards... Dogs and cats with bad hips... And aging parents... And grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it. Some things we keep, like a best friend that moved away or a classmate we grew up with.
There are just some things that make life important,
like people we know who are special... And so, we keep them close!
I received this from someone who thinks I am a 'keeper,' so I've sent it to the people I think of in the same way... Now it's your turn to send this to those people that are 'keepers' in your life. Good friends are like stars... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there!

Ok kids, I need some help. Bil & Sil are wanting to go white water rafting when they are up, but won't be able to go on the weekend, so that kind of throws out the Ocoee, so anybody have any ideas? I know they can go to Nantahala, but there are several companies to choose from, so again, recommendations?

That is a scary thing to do, expecially since I don't know how to swim!!

Never done that, I like to watch. Might do it one day, we will see.
I am still looking for a small canoe or kayak, if anybody comes across one really cheap.

It's a lot of fun. The only hard part was helping carry the raft from the bus to the water.

YEP! I can't imagine how I missed out on that gold mine!
Hopefully you have some tall people in the group and you can just follow along.
