ing on the latest Habitat projects, she learned of the organizations initiatives. Although she was unaware of it at the time, Tiffany would ultimately be receiving a Habitat house of her own one day through the efforts of a local Habitat home provider. Habitat for Humanity of Wood County, who headed the construction of the Bowling home, is a locally run afliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity of Wood County works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. Applicants for Habitat homes have to meet certain requirements and must go through many steps to be considered. The houses are sold to those in need at no prot to the organization and with no interest charged to the individuals. Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. continued on page 2
the Bowling family

by Amber McCool Imagine a woman getting home from work and greeting her family. She walks across the kitchen to give her son a hug and the oor starts to cave in under her feet. Is she in a third world country? No, shes right here in the Buckeye State. Substandard housing is everywhere, even in Ohio. Luckily, theres an organization dedicated to giving hope to those families living in unsatisfactory conditions across the country, and recently, it has extended its reach to a local family in North Baltimore. The rst time Tiffany Bowling heard about Habitat for Humanity, she was at her job at Whirlpool in Findlay. Through rafes the company held to determine who would be help-

NO GYM FOR FIRST BASKETBALL TEAM Sports was not uppermost in the mind of the North Baltimore Board of Education members when the 1884 school building was constructed. The structure did not include a gymnasium. In addition, there was not a room big enough to accommodate a commencement exercise. But the lack of these facilities did not stop the school from having a basketball team, or holding commencement ceremonies. As for the commencement ceremonies, a large area was not needed as most of the rst 10 graduation
classes numbered less than 10 members. 1890 FIRST GRADUATES The rst graduation class in 1890 had only four members. In addition, there were no graduates in 1892 or again in 1901. Honor of the largest number of graduates, during the rst 10 years of the school went to the class of 1895, with 15 members. Commencement exercises were held at various locations around town. This included the Henry Opera House (that was destroyed by re in 1911) and the United Brethren Church on West Broadway, now Church of The Good
Shepherd United Methodist (same location, different building). As with the commencement exercises, other facilities were used for the basketball team to play their games. Various locations around the community became the gymnasium. The rst basketball team, was organized in 1913 and had only six players: Wilber Wirt, Howard McGann, John House, Ernest Bond, Wayne Mason and Wright Sweet. But, the team was not named Tigers and they didnt have a regular gymnasium in which to play their games. continued on page 2
No Gym for Basketball Team continued...

TEAM CALLED INDEPENDENTS An article in the North Baltimore Times newspaper dated Friday, March 20, 1914, reported the following, North Baltimore basketball players received a defeat in big chunks at Bloomdale last Friday night and the high school Independents were beaten by a score of 26 to 15, while the girls team lost by a score of 9-7. The girls had played to a tie in the regular game. But in the playoff lost to Bloomdale. Probably the last basketball game of the season will take place in the Hughes block this Friday night, March 20, when the high school Independents will play the Toledo Stars. At that time, 1914, the Hughes block was the building located at 110 N. Main St., on the southwest corner of South Main Street and West State Street. This address is presently occupied by Unique N tiques and owned by James and Anna Miller. In 1914 Hughes Department Store occupied that location. Over the years that address has been occupied by Uhlmans Department Store and was also home to the North Baltimore Food Center Grocery Store. The basketball team had played in other buildings around town, including an unheated warehouse that was located in the area that is now a parking lot, in the alley, behind Scarboroughs Pharmacy. The pharmacy is located at 127 North Main St. It is unknown when the local sports team took on the name of Tigers, but it probably occurred when the present South Second Street school building was built in 1927. A gymnasium was constructed as part of the school building, along with a separate auditorium with a stage and balcony. For many years, Commencement exercises were held in the auditorium, but as graduating classes became larger in number the graduation ceremonies were moved to the gymnasium, which had been expanded in 1964. The school year books, (1921, 22 and 23) named the EnBee, show that the local school also had a football team and reserve basketball team. In addition, these publications have recorded information about class plays being given in the auditorium and sports trophies displayed in the same room. EDITORS NOTE: In the photos showing the teams, no name appears on the basketball or football uniforms. In addition, only the name North Baltimore is used in reporting the game scores. The 1884 school building was destroyed by re on January 29, 1926 and was replaced by the present

Newly-Built Habitat Home in NB continued...

Each Habitat for Humanity Partner family invests 500 hours of sweat equity (their own labor) into their homes and also help on future Habitat projects. The families living in the homes pay no interest on a $75,000 mortgage over 20 years. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses in Wood County. Habitat for Humanity of Wood County is overseen by a Board of Directors and Ofce Staff. The construction cost to build the Bowling home was $90,000, while the value of the home exceeds $150,000. According to Ruth Ann Shaver, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Wood County, $60,000 of the cost of the Bowling home was paid for through the Federal Neighborhood Stabilization Grant, which has targeted specic areas of North Baltimore. An environmental study completed on the lot prior to construction beginning ensured uncontaminated land was being developed, said Shaver as she described some of specic community investment that complimented the appreciated work of volunteers. The Heavy Machine Operators Apprenticeship provided their equipment and the labor of licensed apprentices, completing the excavation and foundation work on the home for free. continued on page 3

Burning Our Demons

by Pastor Ralph J. Mineo St. Lukes Lutheran Church
My wife and I recently watched the lm Eat Pray Love. One of my favorite scenes is when the Indonesian Medicine Man (Ketut Liyer) is curing a little child by putting some kind of ointment into the childs mouth. The lead character, Liz, is told that the child is being tormented by a demon. Liz remarks It looks like teething! The reply: Same thing! I absolutely LOVE that short scene, because I think it accurately interprets what demons really are. I personally believe its a proper understanding of demons in the Christian Bible as well. For me, its troublesome how demons are seen as some cartoonish character running around the world causing random havoc, or whose only goal is to tempt a person into sin. Demons are far more that that. Demons are dangerous, and need to be dealt with and fought off. I dont think that any single depiction of demons is adequate. Demons ARE personal, to be sure, because each and every person has demons with which to struggle. A demon might take the form of a toothache or any illness. A demon might be a personal struggle to avoid a personal sin. A demon could be a weakness in my personality that Im trying to overcome or x or improve. A demon could be an addiction or a powerful sin thats clearly bringing harm to my life and to those I love. The list of demons is HUGE! The Gospel of Mark contains a great deal about the struggle of Jesus with demons. Mark tells us that Jesus has authority over demons, power over them. The struggle of Jesus is against demons, in FAVOR of human beings. In the struggle, Jesus heals people, forgives sins, and gives over his life to nally defeat the demons. The truth of our faith is this: Jesus is the ONE to turn to in the battle against demons. Jesus comes to silence the demons in our lives and send them away. Jesus comes to us in victory when the dentist or doctor or psychiatrist does the work of healing. Jesus comes to us in prayer when we beg for release of demons. The list of ways Jesus defeats demons is INFINITE! The struggle with demons is a life-long process. Getting rid of demons is a call to remain always connected to God and Gods will. In a recent sermon on this topic, I suggested that listeners take sheets of paper and list the demons in their lives, the illnesses, weaknesses, temptations, sins, problems, anxieties, etc. And then (with adult supervision for children present) to burn this list, praying for Jesus healing all the while. Such a ritual can be a powerful outward sign. God will come to us in the re, in the ashes, in the desires, in the prayer. Such a ritual can point us to, and remind us of, the nal battle against the demons. Thanks be to God, we already KNOW and BELIEVE who wins that battle: Jesus the Christ, Messiah, LORD!

Be Careful What You Say

by Ann Elaine Broughton
Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips (Psalm 141:3 NIV). Words are very powerful. They can tear a heart into pieces and ruin lives when used carelessly. Have you been a victim of words that hurt? Have you spoken words you wished you could take back? I am sure that none of us are perfect in this area. But as Christians it is essential to try to measure what we say wisely. Think before you speak. Is what you are about to say benecial? Is it positive? Does it make someone feel better?
We need to remember how Jesus responded to those around Him. He never quarreled. He stated the facts calmly, even before those who sought to crucify Him. He showed patience when his own disciples didnt understand His purpose and what He would have to suffer. He even spoke calmly to the Pharisees who were constantly trying to corner Him to catch Him doing wrong. You see Jesus showed all of us how we are to behave, and since now He is in us, we too can act and talk like Him. Too often we dont really consider that we have Christ in us, and with that, we have at our ngertips, His ability to
change lives through words spoken wisely. But, it takes self control and a willingness to daily be in communication with the Lord through prayer. Prayer is what can help us be better speakers of the truth of Christ. The Holy Spirit can help us choose words that uplift other peoples spirits instead of putting them down. There are people around you who need to hear words of wisdom. They need to be encouraged to do the right thing. They need to know that they are chosen by God to do wonderful works for Him. You are the one who needs to reach out and share uplifting words to those around you.
This week, pray before you speak, think before you speak and try to speak only words that are benecial to those around you. Words spoken wisely and in love are precious in deed. Dear Lord, Help me to choose my words wisely. Help me to be a good example of you by what I say and do. Help me to build other people up and not tear anyone down with my words. Let me always remember that words can change lives forever. In Jesus name, Amen

Forgiving Others
Many good friendships and families have been destroyed because of a lack of forgiveness or a grudge held against someone who has said or done something wrong. Sometimes it seems that bad things done against us stand out more than good things, and we often dont consider the good qualities that a person may possess. Man is so different from God in this respect. God is faithful and just, and will forgive us our wrongdoing when we have repented and asked for His forgiveness. On the other hand, we sometimes have difculty forgiving whenever we have been offended. Turning the other cheek can be difcult. When we are hurt we often want to hurt back. We have to realize that no one is perfect except God, and we have to look beyond a persons faults and seek the good that God has put in all of us. The Bible tells us that we should pray for our enemies. Perhaps prayer is the only redeeming quality that we need in order to have a forgiving heart. We should ask our Heavenly Father to forgive our wrongs as we forgive others.

Tigers Stumble Against St. Wendelin

by Chris North The Tiger boys traveled to Fostoria to take on the Mohawks of St. Wendelin in MAL action on Friday night. The Tigers came out looking sharp as Frost hit a three to start the game and then hit two off a drive in the paint. The Tigers held a 5-4 lead with 6 minutes left to play in the rst. Another rst quarter slump hit the boys until Frost lobbed one into Evan North for two, down 7-13 with 2:45 left on the clock. Frost and Austin Davis added two each off a drive in the paint. Brandon Solly was playing some aggressive defense and took a steal to the rack for two to end the rst quarter down 13-23. North started the second quarter with a monster rebound and back up for two and then again with two in the paint. Davis hit two free throws before Frost drained a long three from the baseline. Davis hit two more free throws and Andrew Peters followed suit with a three from the corner to end the second quarter down 27-38. North started the second half off with three free throws before Frost drove the paint for two with 5:38 to make it a 32-44 game. Frost wasnt nished as he drained two more buckets to pull within 7, 37-44. Cody Cotterman came in to give some fresh legs and added another bucket to the effort. Frost was big again with two off a drive to the bucket to keep it close. Solly grabbed another steal and tossed it to a wide open breaking Davis for two and the Tigers ended the third quarter down 43-54. Jordan Watson grabbed his own rebound and put it back up for two to start the fourth quarter. Davis hit yet another free throw and added a bucket as well to make it a 49-56 game with 5 minutes left in regulation. Frost added another bucket to his 21 point effort and we had a 52-60 game with 3 left in the game. Watson tossed in one last free throw and North put up an inbound pass for two to end the Tiger scoring and add a loss to their record, 56-62. Scoring for the Tigers was Jacob Frost 21, Evan North 12, Austin Davis 12, Jordan Watson 4, Andrew Peters 3, Cody Cotterman 2, and Brandon Solly with 2. The JV took on the Mohawks as well on Friday night and met with the same fate. They played well in the rst and third quarter but struggled in the second and fourth quarters. They found themselves down 39-54 when the nal buzzer sounded. Scoring for the Tigers was Gabe DeLosReyes 8, Austin Ickes 6, Tyler Trumbull 6, Levi Newcomer 4, Nathan Flores 4, Derek McMahan 4, Jacob Hizer 2, Chase Nichols 2, Cody Cotterman 2, and Zack Finkenbeiner with 1.

Habitat of Wood County Announces New Updates

by Amber McCool Ruth Ann Shaver, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Wood County, communicated that Habitat for Humanity of Wood County is seeking applicants for the home currently being built at 106 Poplar, which has been dried in, or, in other words, completed up to the roof at this time. Shaver said, Habitat is waiting to further develop the project until the warmer spring weather when hopefully a qualied family has been selected to pick out the nishing details for their new home. It is unusual for us to do a spec home, but it was started before a family was selected to capitalize on available grant funds that expired after 2011. Shaver added that any family in need for housing, based on a current living situation that is unsafe, unaffordable or not adapted to the size or accessibility needs of the family, is are encouraged to apply to live in the new home. The application material describes that qualication for Partner Family Applicants is based on a willingness to invest in building their home and community through 500 hours of sweat equity, which is compromised of educational courses that help ensure successful homeownership through nancial health and home maintenance skills, as well as direct work on the construction of their home, overseen by trained Habitat staff and volunteers. Families considered are within the 60 percent to 30 percent Area Medium Income range, have no conventional bank loans available to them and also pass the review that shows the family has enough nancial health to repay a $75,000, 0 percent interest mortgage over 20 years. The mortgage payments from 27 families that live in new homes built from Habitat of Wood County are reinvested to fund the affordable housing needs of future Partner families in our community. Shaver also communicated exciting developments that are up-coming with Habitat for Humanity of Wood County. Bowling Green State Universitys Department of Architecture and Environmental Design has entered The Sustainable Home: Habitat for Humanity Student Design Competition, led by Dr. Salim Elwazani, she said. Fifteen students are designing three homes for Habitat for Humanity of Wood County, specic to land available through the Northern Wood County Port Authority in Rossford, Ohio. The Habitat for Humanity Student Design Competition is administered by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture and sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts and The Vinyl Institute. According to the competition description, The program is to engage young professionals in Habitat for Humanitys effort to eliminate poverty housing by advancing the design of simple, decent, healthy and affordable homes. It is Shavers hope that the competition will be a continuing relationship with Bowling Green State Universitys (BGSU) Department of Architecture and Environmental Design, with other future home builds, including those in North Baltimore. Habitat for Humanity of Wood County is committed to quality home building. We have a full-time BGSU Architect Intern this semester, Jimez Parker, Cooperative Education Program in the College of Technology, Shaver said. Mr. Parker is a Presidents Leadership Academy Scholar and has already complimented the mission and work of Habitat for Humanity of Wood County greatly through his passionate investment of time and talent. Another addition to Habitat for Humanity of Wood County comes with the opening of their ReStore outlet at 425 Napoleon Rd., Bowling Green to benet area residents, as well as future Habitat builds. According to the Habitat for Humanity website, the purpose of the ReStore is to sell reusable and surplus building materials to the public. Every ReStore outlet is a little different, while most focus on home improvement goods like furniture, home accessories, building materials and appliances. ReStore resale outlets accept donated goods sold to the general public at a fraction of the retail price. The proceeds help local Habitat afliates fund the construction of Habitat homes within their communities. The much-awaited Habitat for Humanity ReStore is holding a Garage Sale at two locations on Saturday, February 4. The ReStore Warehouse will be open to the public for the rst time that day from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., selling construction materials, lighting xtures, paint, furniture, as well as other items. Items will also be available at the Woodland Mall Garage Sale on Saturday, February 4, with various items including a large selection of solid light oak matching sets of furniture in excellent condition, as well as home accent items, like lamps and artwork, among others. Items have been donated by the Wood County Hospital, Preferred Properties, Comfort Inn, Mecca Management and Bowling Green State Universitys Office of Campus Sustainability for the sale. BGSU Service Learning partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Wood County, along with 70 volunteers on Martin Luther King Jr.s Day of Service, held on Monday, January 16, to prepare the ReStore Warehouse and Woodland Mall Garage Sale space for this event. The gifts that have been providedare going to be sold at prices which will make quality home repair items and furnishings accessible to all, at prices students and hard working families budgets can handle, Shaver said. The funds raised on the one-day garage sale event will assist in the nal renovations needed to open the ReStore Warehouse and will help with the cost of future home builds. The space for the ReStore Warehouse has been donated for use by Habitat, free of charge for two years, by A.A. Green Realty Inc., with renovations by Habitat to improve the property.
When I interviewed the Bowling family in their home, I was in awe of the quality of the build. I guess I must have expected the feel of a manufactured home for some reason. However, it is a brand new stick built home and extremely, extremely nice. Sometimes, we dont know or cant possibly anticipate the curve balls that life throws our way. As most of you know, at any moment, everything can change in an instant.
A Note from Amber McCool

What a blessing that Habitat for Humanity exists. The flashbacks of my own story come to mind. A picture-perfect life with a nice house, a husband and a child. Then, my world dramatically changed. We were faced with the reality of a new situation and a new income status. I didnt know where to turn, but Habitat for Humanity of Wood County changed my situation for the better.
What a blessing from God that I have also been selected by Habitat for Humanity of Wood County to be a partner family for a home north of Bowling Green. When I was praying to God to guide my steps, He did just that when he brought me to Habitat for Humanity of Wood County Ohio. I now will have a safe and affordable brand new home to raise my child. Like the Bowling family, I feel truly blessed.

Farmer Jack
by Old Retired Farmer Jack Well, here it is, the end of January and the Old Retired Farmer is back in his old comfortable chair. I dont know if I want to think of January as gone or as we have the rest of the year to go. Anyway, we are in the middle and winter has brought some snow. Saturday our grandson Joe got the rest of our corn harvested. Thank the LORD or the snow and the wind that kept the snow from sticking to the corn. Saturday night I had the most beautful dream I think I ever had. I dreamed I was mowing a eld of alfalfa with the little 5000 Ford tractor and the new Holland Haybined I used to own. The eld looked like it was about 50 acres and it was a new stand of alfalfa that was so beautful. It didnt have one weed in the whole eld. It was such a beautful day, nice and warm. The sky was blue and the smell of the new mown hay was so rich and nice in my nose! It was just a great day to be alive. I was in such peace when I woke up that I just wanted to go back to sleep and stay there. But I couldnt. The LORD reminded me of a passage in the Bible that I needed to read. It turned out to be Act--- 2 -17. It says in the last part of the verse, that in the last days GOD said, I will pour out my spirit on all people. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. So, I guess its time to get it right with GOD. I am still in my old comfortable chair and thinking back to a harvest that soybeans took a big jump up to over $9 dollars per bushel. It was on a Friday and I was harvesting beans just as fast as I could, so I could get them to market, because the crop was good and I couldnt see beans staying over $9 dollars very long. A friend of mine stopped at the end of the eld, when I came up to dump the beans into the wagon. He asked what I was doing with my beans. I said Selling them as fast as I can. He said, You better store them. A friend of his told him the LORD had showed him they were going to $11 dollars and 26 cents. I told him maybe he should go home and read Proverbs 11:26 because I had been reading Proverbs just the day before and it says something different than that. I kept on selling my beans as fast as I could get them to town. The next day was Saturday and I took a load of beans in the rst thing in the morning. The elevator man came out and said he would take the beans but he wouldnt put a price on them untill the market opened on Monday because the market had closer very undecided on Friday. The market opened Monday just a little over $7 dollars. I think 7 dollars and 24 cents. I think this all happened sometime in the 1970s. By the way, Proverbs 11:26 in the N.I.V. Bible says, People curse the man who hoards grain, but blessing crowns him who is willing to sell. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS The Old Retired Farmer Jack
Household Paint & Chemical Recycling I am frequently asked about the Countys recycling program and thought the following information might be of interest to you. The Wood County Solid Waste District maintains and prints a listing of Wood County businesses who accept various household paints, chemicals, and other items for disposal. The list of businesses and accepted items is quite extensive, with a listing of which businesses charge a fee and which do not. A copy of this brochure has been uploaded on the Countys website for your use at www.wcswmd.org listed under brochures, or you may contact the ofce at 419-354-9297 to obtain a copy or to ask any questions you may have.

Our Maumee river draws thousands of shing enthusiasts on an annual basis with a signicant impact on our local economy.

Wedded Bliss
by Kayte Sommer you tend to eat where you want, when you want. And yes, that means sitting in front of the television with a plate of food on your lap. When there was one main television in the house, at least we sometimes ate together in the same room, even if that meant the room with the television. Then it happened. The other half got a new television for the man-cave. It seems he had his own shows he wanted to watch. THEN, the main TV decided time was up and went to the land of dead electronics. So add a second new TV to the mix. But of course, we couldnt leave out the above-mentioned child. Lets just say Santa Claus was very good to him. I had had enough. Some time ago, I decided that one day of the week we would all eat at the table - at the same time - no matter what. That worked fairly well when the other half had his previous job. I could plan our family dinner day, which was usually Sunday. Now his work schedule varies. And I may have to run errands after work. Or our child has

Quote: If you surveyed a hundred typical middleaged Americans, I bet youd nd that only two of them could tell you their blood types, but every last one of them would know the theme song from the Beverly Hillbillies. ~ Dave Barry To Each His Own Television, That Is You all know the ideal picture: Full place settings at the kitchen table, Mom placing a roast or meatloaf in the middle of the table and the family sitting down for dinner with Dad at the head of the table; all together at the same time. Yea right! Whose dream world is that in? Even though our family unit is small, it still seems hard to have somewhat normal schedules. Between a child still living at home and involved in extracurricular activities, and work schedules that are sometimes on opposite ends of the spectrum, eating together can be somewhat challenging. And when you are by yourself from time to time because of the different schedules,
activities on various days, at random times, which of course is in the evening hours, sometimes over the dinner hour. You remember dinner hour? Dinner on the table at 6 p.m. sharp. Every day. And dont be late! I think I saw that on a television show once. Well, I do have dinner cooked for the family the majority of the week. And if we are all home at the same time, we eat at the same time. Notice I said at the same time. That doesnt always mean the same room. We gather in the kitchen. Food is put on the plates. The daily meal prayer is said. Sounds ideal, right? Then, as if on cue, the child retreats to his TV room, plate in hand. He has to check in with his online gaming buddies (another segment for a later time). I head to the main room for the nightly news and sit down with plate on lap, of course. And the other half? Well, he does have his own favorite shows too, you know. Ahhhh, Wedded Bliss..or so they say...

The Board also expressed thanks to the Societys dedicated volunteers and encouraged anyone with an interest in local history and a willingness to spend a few hours a week to join them in the new year.

NB History Society Summarizes Goals

In its January 2012 newsletter, the Board of the North Baltimore Ohio Area History Society summarized the Societys accomplishments for the past year and outlined goals for 2012. The Board stressed that all efforts were intended to strengthen the Societys relationship with the local community and improve stewardship of the many documents, photos and artifacts that have been donated to the North Baltimore History Museum, which the Society manages. Specically, the Board reported that the Society had made signicant progress in inventorying both newly and previously acquired items and in organizing items in archivalquality boxes for long-term preservation; established tax-exempt status with the IRS and the State of Ohio so that donors may deduct donations to the Society on their federal and state income tax lings; redesigned its website, which can be found on the Internet at northbaltimorehistory.org; begun rehabilitating the museum foyer, including painting and woodwork renishing; begun publishing a quarterly newsletter; photographed the interior of the old NB High School building, which is scheduled for demolition in 2012, and begun assisting faculty and students in compiling material for a time capsule to be placed in the new high school building; and continued to facilitate research on old NB homes, provide speakers on local history to the North Baltimore Public Schools, and furnish local news media with historical photographs and news articles. For 2012, the Society hopes to: institute a program to recruit new members, retain current members, and increase the number of active volunteers at the museum; obtain funding for, purchase, and implement Both sets of my grandparents had slate chalk boards that my cousins and I would draw and write messages on. Not surprisingly, my parents and I also have a chalk board. I make my grandmas scalloped potatoes and French toast. I love making recipes that she has handwritten for me. All of my children have slept in the same bassinette that my siblings and my mother slept in. My boys have ridden my mothers tricycle and even colored with crayons that were still made in America. So, thank you, grandparents. Weve enjoyed your Poky Puppy book, the sto-
June and Harold (Fuzz) Crouse by Jennifer Vanlerberg In Praise of Grandparents I consider myself very fortunate. I still have two amazing grandparents in my life. This year they will be celebrating 65 years of marriage. I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the special grandparents out there. Whats so great about grandparents? Everything. And what will your grandbabies remember about you? Read on and nd out Its the little things. When I think about my great-grandma (my Granny) I remember she always had Orange Crush pop in a bottle for us, her three lady bug magnets on her fridge, and the two orange, green and pink bouncy balls we played with. My Grandma Welch always had a candy dish lled with Brachs pick-a-mix candy and a Tupperware container lled with fresh cookies on the table. My Grandpa Crouse gave me my very rst Capri Sun drink. (It was orange, and I had never in my life drank anything out of a foil pouch. It was like tasting space food.) My Grandma Crouse showed me how to snap green beans and that veggies do not begin their life in cans. Its about where your toys are. At my Grandma and Grandpa Crouses house, the toys were always in an antique wagon. My boys now get the same toys out of that wagon that we did: the metal can of tinker toys, the original barrel of monkeys, toy soldiers, wooden blocks, sher price house and coloring books. My grandparents always had us sign and date our work, and my boys nd it hilarious to see pictures signed by Jennie from 1985. My parents, (now grandparents) have a toy closet lled with my brothers legos, 1980s GI Joes and all those classic board games we all adored. My boys also head straight for the wooden toy box at Grandma and Grandpa Vanlerbergs house, in search of thirtyyear-old Hot Wheel cars, the animal train, and original Transformers. Though recently, the boys have also enjoyed a game of Angry Birds on grandmas iPAD. Its the big things. Grandparents today are also the babysitters, chauffeurs and sometimes even custodians of our little ones. Everyday, the moms and dads that drop off their little men and women at the school are way outnumbered by their gray-haired counterparts. Grandparents are in the stands of the school sporting events, concerts and plays. My own grandparents took us to doctors appointments and girl scouts and helped with history assignments. (Who else had a grandparent that taught in a one-room school or was a World War II Veteran?) My grandpa lent us his car a couple of times, much to my coworkers dismay. I couldnt stop singing Best of the 40s and some tunes from
Lawrence Welk. (Probably should have changed that cassette tape.) Its the weird things. Grandparents will be remembered for the way their house smelled. (Cabbage? Lavender?) As well as those habits that seemed strange to us. I remember watching Granny heat up water in a tea kettle to do her dishes, and Grandma Welch actually came to my school with her hair still up in curlers and those nylons that rolled down at the knee. My husband swears he never saw his grandpa with a coat zipped...ever. Its the generational things.
ries about our parents when they were little, the rides to school and the homemade snow boots you made out of bread sacks and rubber bands. And if you are blessed to be a grandparent, make sure you give all of your grand kiddos a hug and kiss today. Trust me, theyll remember. I still want to hear from you!!! Please send your parenting questions, comments, tips, etc. (rst name only) to jvanlerberg@hotmail.com I would love to help you or have you help our readers with your mommy or daddy wisdom. Hope to hear from you!
