Talking about the moon


Last night I went out front to gaze at the full moon. I could hear in the distance the millions of gallons of water rushing into the shoreline like someone left the faucet running and there is a slight puddle leak just down the hallway. I actually went outside more than once and the moon was in an overhead position the second time which was later in the evening. I didn't stay out for a long time. The temperature was not as cool as I would have liked it. The breeze didn't seem to blow enough. I could hear the crickets in the background just not singing as loudly as other nights. I wonder if it would be this nice when the shuttle is suppose to take off on Friday at 7:55 in the evening after dark? I don't know where mom and I will spend Thanksgiving. Mom had me buy two frozen Hungry Man Turkey dinners from Food Lion. They had a buy one get one free special. I have enjoyed the cool weather we did have. I am also grateful the weather is not in the 90's. I remember going on organized moonlight horseback rides years ago when I had a pony which my parents paid to keep him on this farm called Windy Acres. They would have rides which I thought were fun. I also thought their hayrides were fun. I remember my mom and sister would toss hay at the young couples who would be smooching on the hayride. They would cease from their smooching because the hay would bother them. Do you remember moon pies? I remember they were very good tasting and very sweet. I remember songs like "Moon River and Fly me to the Moon." I remember a later song of "Moonlight seems right." On the e-mail, my mom got a song about a" Boogie Woogie." This sounded so similar to the theme sound on American Bandstand. I was amazed by the closeness of the melodies. I hope today will be a cheerful one full of positive ideas.

    Moon pies are sweet and they are a classic. They still have them at the day-old bakery store here in Orlando close to where you use to work. They have some really good buys there on bread products. As far as the hayrides, I never got to go on one. I was in a small town but maybe it was just too small. Plus no one grew hay, just apples and grapes. But the small town life was great. I always appreciated the beauty of nature from the earliest time that I can remember. Have a cool day and if it isn't cool, pop a mint candy into your mouth and tell yourself how cold it is even if it is hot. Mind over matter, as they say. Lew
