Saying about Old Folks1. Q. I heard you on radio reading a verse about old folks which your 80 year old Mother sent to you. Would you please send me a copy? You and your Mama are wonderful!
A. I don't know about me but my Mama IS wonderful! I have had so many request for this verse, I will send you a copy. It seems that a lot of folks can identify with it.

As soon as I wake up, Will Power helps me get out of bed.

P. S. The preacher came to call the other day. He said at my age I should be thinking of the hereafter. I told him, "Oh, I do all the time. No matter where I am: in the parlor, upstairs, in the kitchen, or down in the basement, I ask myself-- 'What am I here after?"

- Oodles of Headaches,
- Pounds of Fertilizer,
- Bushels of Rich Dirt,
- Gallons of Water, and
- Oodles of Backaches,
If you think the price of an item is a little too steep, remember, IF IT WERE EASY TO GROW you wouldn't have to be buying it from professionals!
