QUOTATIONS
“There are two ideas of
government. There are those who believe that, if you will only legislate to
make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through on those
below. The Democratic idea, however, has been that if you legislate to make the
masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up through every class
which rests up on them." William
Jennings Bryant
“There ought to be one day - just
one - when there is open season on senators.” ~ Will Rogers

Carol
My
grandmother, Carol, kept a jar of water in the refrigerator. She remembered the
iceman and felt that ice water was quite the luxury. She kept a dish of
chocolates on her shelf in the kitchen. I always liked going to see her, she
was always kind.
I thought that every grandmother
kept chocolates and a jar of ice water. I used to think everyone had a kindly
Carol, and that she had always been old, always kindly and always with
chocolates.
Tonight I remembered her when I put
a jar of water in the fridge. My grandchildren are seven and four. I never had
put up ice water before. But there are chocolates in a bowl, and if they want
to eat them, I say Yes! You may. Have another!
