    Celebrate Grandparents Day, Sept. 12!
    Doris Schroeder I have found it extremely interesting that when God created us, he  worked it out that he first made parents, then GRAND parents and then GREAT grand parents.  Have you ever wondered how come it isn’t the other way around? How come parents can’t be great the first time around? It all comes down to the magic word “experience!” You probably wonder...

    I remember Labor Day and words
    Doris Schroeder The new school year has begun and Labor Day is just around the corner.  Children and young people are going back to their schools of learning. Adults out of school , like me, will look around for just the right word to describe a life situation, a feeling, a thought, or even a prayer. We base this on our past life experiences. Labor Day is a holiday designed...

    I remember “Changing” schools
    Doris Schroeder Sitting down at the table this morning to read the local paper, I noticed the picture of crowds of people lined up to get school supplies. I feel so gratified to see organizations getting supplies together to help those who are going through hard times. To help those in need is truly the American way and it does follow the Christian principals on which...

    I remember Dressing for Success
    Doris Schroeder As I visited with some friends at the Christian Women’s luncheon the other day, we were lamenting how the dress code has changed in today’s world. It’s hard to tell when it really happened but there certainly has been a adjustment in the way we outfit ourselves. Even when I look at my pictures when I was four, I was always wearing a dress, as were...

    I remember Vacations in the yesteryear
    Doris Schroeder They say vacation is a brief period of recreation, preceded by a period of anticipation, and followed by a period of recuperation. When we were a young family and we were working hard to get ahead, we always looked forward to vacation time with great anticipation. We lived in our house on 17th Street and our summer days would be full with tennis lessons,...

    I remember Keeping our “Cool!”
    Doris Schroeder I don’t know about you but strong heat is not something I can stand in these golden years and I’ve often wondered about that.  Do you suppose we have given these later years the wrong detonation by calling them golden? After all, what does gold remind us of? It is the color of fire and fire is hot. I am wondering if we shouldn’t call these latter...

    I remember Summertime and the market is busy!
    Doris Schroeder What a wonderful summer! Our son John and his wife Carol were home this season, buzzing all the way from Clearwater, Florida, and we had a “honey” of a time.  As usual, they were impressed with the friendliness of the local people and the affability of the people in the stores.  In Florida, one of the melting pots of the world, people all zoom around,...

    I remember We played “cowboys and cowgirls” in the old days!
    Doris Schroeder I remember We played “cowboys and cowgirls” in the old days! By Doris Schroeder               The Pretty Prairie Rodeo is again on the calendar, where fearless cowboys ride spirited horses and wrestle feisty calves to the ground, traverse raging bulls who twist and turn, and race fast horses around barrels and to the finish line.              ...

    I remember Working at Wards and other new beginnings in the 50s
    Doris Schroeder It was the summer of 1952…we had been married for a little over a year and had added a bouncing baby boy to our family. Of course we named him Johnny, and I did enjoy taking care of him in our little rented one bedroom house on Harding Street. Still, I was only nineteen and had this urge to work downtown. My parents were very willing babysitters and...

    I remember – Camping in the old days
    Doris Schroeder When John and I had our family of two to raise, money was not plentiful and we had to take short mini vacations in order to get away from the everyday stress of daily living. Only the way we could best afford it, was to take a tent, our camp stove, sleeping bags and some groceries to the lake, usually we went to Kanopolis.  We would drive around the camp...
