DANIEL E ANDREWS

Havent did a posting for a few days - snow storm here - kinda distracted by snow, ice, driving etc. It is very strange how someone can make an impact on your life - without even knowing. As I stated before - I love to read - and that means the newspaper. I saw an obituary some time ago (not sure how long) about a man named Daniel E Andrews - they stated he life his life by tidbits of philosophy. He died suddenly in Seoul Korea at the age of 30. One of the tidbits he lived by was:

"LADIES FIRST OR MY MOTHER WOULD KILL ME"

What a great piece of advise. My husband is one of the best in being a gentleman. He never lets me work on the outside of the sidewalk. Always when we shop - he lets me out at the front door of the store - then parks the car. Always opens any door for me. This trait, I believe, shows character. My son,Jaimie, saw this - and now he does the same. I have also seen my grandson, Dylan, do the same. I still have Daniel's obituary in a book I keep of sayings - just to remind me the importance of manners.
