In the nostalgia section of the April issue, a segment was printed about the Ford Mustang being introduced at the Worlds Fair in Flushing New York in April of 1964. That mention of the worlds fair brought back some memories.

The month of May, for me, brings a great surge of energy. Its easy to realize the origin of this energy. It begins with the steady, warm climate, and memories of what this time of year meant in my childhood.

Whether it was in his youth
or more recent days,
there was a warmth about him...
there was always a warmth in his eyes.
Some of us have our last memories of him
with him looking back at us
barely having the energy to talk,
but having all the energy in the world
to form a big smile.
I know him to be the one in the family

It is very important that in the title of this piece, that the "veil" in reveiled be in italics. This word is meant to be "revealed," and is purposely misspelled to include the word veil. That is why those four letters must be italicized.
If you're headed in the wrong direction, u-turns are allowed
For every 60 seconds of anger, you lose one minute of happiness.
Kindness: a language the deaf can hear, the blind can see, and the mute can speak.
When you see someone without a smile, give him one of yours.
I do not think happiness is too hard to find -- it is how you treat it once you get hold of it that counts.
What holds you together is far greater than what can tear you apart.

I noticed an old recipe here for making Applebutter. However, it did not say how long to cook it. Can anyone offer me some ideas as to how I can tell when it is finished. Does it get thicker after it cools off, etc.
Thanks

In George Washington's days, there were no cameras. One's image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are "limbs," therefore painting them would cost the buyer more. Hence the expression: "Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg."

One interesting side note that I have read in the past is that when radio first came on the scene people did not just take up immediately with the idea of radio listening each evening.
