Last week we had a few warm days, and we really enjoyed the beautiful summer weather. I remarked to my granddaughter about the warm weather and emphasized that it was really warm.
“Grandma, what does warm mean?” “Not so hot” was my quick reply.
Apparently I was having a brain cramp. At the moment, I said it would be too difficult for her to understand Webster's dictionary, or how the dictionary got started. I remember long ago, I was told how the dictionary got started, it was one night when Mr and Mrs Webster, got into an argument, and one word led to another and his famous dictionary was compiled at the age of seventy years.

This column will be sweet this time. And I'd like to share with you some memories of Sweetest Day, in October, when my family lived in Ohio, Sweetest Day was a very special day in October. Employers gave their employees sweets, and even boxes of chocolate candy. Friends remembered each other with a sweet gift to candy stores and Hallmark really appreciated this day. I especially remember the banquet on Sweetest Day when couples exchange sweet thoughts, and of course, enjoy a sweet dessert, at the banquet to the most meaningful experience was a renewing of the marriage vows for the couples who attended the program at the banquet color renewal of marriage vows on a yearly basis at a Sweetest Day banquet enrich marriages and families, a suite that for many young and older couples to ponder and keeping things going. The sweet, long way down marriage line. I do hope we will have many glorious autumn days, filled with many sweet thoughts on enriching marriages and families. It is strong marriages and families that build strong communities and countries. Let's have a heart and keep them sweet.
Sweet thought for the week: Even if marriages are made in heaven. Man has to be responsible for the maintenance. John Graham
Have a great week filled with the sweetest days of autumn.
