It has been a day at home. The twins are here. They will have an extra day with us this week. For some reason they are out of school. They didn’t get up as early as they usually do so I was able to sleep in for a while.
Sonja wanted her usual clip art pictures of certain my-little-pony characters. She likes for me to print the ones she picks out. Then she has Sue cut them out and she uses them as characters in some play time stories, something like paper dolls in my day. I told her we would get to them after I finished my “virtual visits.” Oh, something else to note, they determined a few weeks ago that she needs to wear glasses so the subject comes up every once in a while. For instance, today she said “everyone in this house wears glasses” . . . she’s right. I told her I have worn them since I was just about her age. That’s a long, long time ago.
As you probably know, I look for my photo-a-the-day everywhere I go. I find some things I normally wouldn’t pay any attention otherwise. Yesterday’s photo was made while I was at church doing the bulletins. The sanctuary it not lit when I pass though placing the bulletin so many corners are in shadow. I couldn’t pass up the shapes and grays in this shot.Bob got off early today. He has a pick up yesterday in Youngstown so he didn’t get home until almost 8:30. He is not allowed to work overtime so he gets to take extra hours that he has worked off on Friday.
Sue took the girls for a visit to the library and other interesting places to visit.
I got the frig cleared out and the dishes done. I have hamburger and chicken waiting to be made in to dog food. They get homemade meatball treats and Sugar is on a chicken (mostly) diet.
The word is boundless. There is no wisdom save in truth. Truth is everlasting, but our ideas about truth are changeable. Only a little of the first fruits of wisdom, only a few fragments of the boundless heights, breadths and depths of truth, have I been able to gather, Martin Luther. Knowledge is boundless,--human capacity, limited, Nicolas Chamfort. The delightful study of the Psalms has yielded me boundless profit and ever-growing pleasure; common gratitude constrains me to communicate to others a portion of the benefit, with the prayer that it may induce them to search further for themselves, Charles Spurgeon. One more, Like a caring mother holding and guarding the life of her only child, so with a boundless heart of loving kindness, hold yourself and all beings as your beloved children, Gautama Buddha.
They’re a couple of personal stories about the historic facility in this article. First there was a fire there. Bill was a fireman. They had the run, the gates were closed behind them after the equipment was inside. I had a fire department radio so I was listening to the communications. Years before that I dated a young man whose father was a guard there. I went with Jack a few times. When he got a free hair cut there by one of the inmates. Over and above all of that it had a lot of history in our community and was located in a prominent portion of the downtown area. According to the article they will be moving what is left of the prison to a “safe location” three miles from the original site. Some of the stones had dates of 1876 and 1878 etched in them, even the n
ame of an architect was seen. The majority of the prison was demolished more than twenty years ago where the Arena District is located now. There are some who would like for some of the stones, owned now by Columbus Landmarks, to somehow be incorporated into the new stadium grounds. Apparently some of the stones from the structure are in other Arena District buildings including North Bank Park.
It’s that time of week again–Pizza!
