April 11, 2023 a thought for the day, When friendship goes with love it must play the second fiddle. German Proverb

My first upload for April 10 was “entrance”. That’s my sister at the front “entrance” coming home from running an errand. 

I got a couple of additions to the bulletin in a phone call last night so I made those changes the first thing this morning. Now there is only one more part to finish it. 

I got up early and got ready to go to an early standing doctor’s appointment yesterday only to realize I was a month early. So instead of wasting the time out and about I went looking for a few photos. Then I came home and got busy with work on the bulletin then some work in the kitchen. 

The second upload for yesterday was “industrial”. I went out on a photo search and found all kinds of “industrial” shots. As a whole image I liked this one best for this particular upload.

We are slowly beginning to experience the warmer weather they have been predicting. Today the sun is bright and unobstructed by heavy clouds. No jackets will be necessary. It looks like it will soon be time to get the house plants outside for their “vacation”. I am hoping we won’t have any more strong winds after I have them outside. 

As far as activities at church, this is a quiet week. I have an appointment to get my hair cut today and I need to take Sweet Pea to get her nails cut sometime this week. Along with that I may be able to get an early start on the upcoming newsletter. 

This is another one of those days that I had” a third photo of the day upload. This one is titled “bridges/piers”. This is the closest I could come without going back to the archives.

The word today is great.  All rising to a great place is by a winding stair, Francis Bacon.  Great people are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world, Ralph Waldo Emerson.  Do not despise the bottom rungs in the ascent to greatness, Publilius Syrus. Great men are more distinguished by range and extent than by originality, Ralph Waldo Emerson. A great man shows his greatness by the way he treats little men, Thomas Carlyle. Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Great truths are portions of the soul of man; Great souls are portions of eternity, James Russell Lowell.  To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. Ralph Waldo Emerson. The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be. Socrates. Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant? Henry David Thoreau.  The great man is he who does not lose his child's-heart. Mencius.  Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation. Saint Augustine.

My fist upload for today is “delicate”. I use to “tat”, a method of crochet-like action that created a near lace-like finished piece of cloth. I don’t have one of my tatted pieces left so I decided to look at the “delicate” petals of a flower. This one is near the end of its day but still one of the “delicate” gifts of God. 

I can’t remember if I’ve talked about the Central Market here in Columbus before. Here’s a story about its history. It was a public market from 1814 to 1966. It was located, as I understand it, along with the first City Hall from 1850 to 1872, on High Street, south of Rich Street. From it’s beginning it has moved three times. The third time was at Fourth Street between Town and Rich where the Greyhound bus station is now located. The first building was a small wood building, 50ft long. The next one was also a two-story building. The third was built of brick and limestone with a “central bell tower”. In this building the first floor was for the market and the second floor was city hall. Fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry and flowers were on hand in first floor stalls. Farmers brought their products in a 3 or 4 am where an opening bell would ring at 6:00. On the second floor, in the city hall, there was “a council chamber and courtroom, with two neighboring jail cells and a guard room. Individual rooms held the offices of the mayor, city marshal, clerk, surveyor, and the market master, the marketplace supervisor”. Next to the building was a jail until the City Prison was built in 1879. All along the area here were sidewalks, sheds and horse-drawn stands used for farm stalls. The third market was purchased by the city. In 1872 a new City Hall was opened on Capitol Square. The market itself was remodeled in 1930. It “thrived into the 1950s”. A fact in the article was that it drew 20,000 people on Saturdays. In the 1960s the market was in need of repair and tenants were more scarce. They began moving to the more “less used” North Market. In 1966 the Central Market was demolished. Besides the North Market there was an East Market and a West Market but even less used. In 2022 a new East Market was opened. 

The second upload for today is “traffic sign/lights”. This is a back side of one of our newer models of overhead traffic lights. 

I am most likely going to use the air fryer for dinner tonight.....fish and fries, maybe.
