From the Fields

Members of the Jacksonville Pilot Club made cheeseballs at the Salvation on Army last This week started with rain on
Saturday, as part of a fundraiser. Photo courtesy of Betty Pine. Sunday. Ended up with from 4-6 1/2 inch-
es which put a stop to all field work. Some
did try some corn on Sunday with many
finding some very wet conditions.
Hopefully this next rain that is predicted for
Tuesday will not come. I believe I can speak
for all that none of us want to see another
fall like this one.
Had the opportunity to attend one
of the meetings that Monsanto held to hear
the complaints and comments from many
of its customers. They were trying to
explain the value in their product and some
of their ways of marketing and pricing.
There were many good, well thought out
concerns put before the group by those in
attendance. I hope that they were passed
on to the powers that be as I didn't see
anyone taking notes which lead me to
believe that this has already been brought
to their attention. We'll see what happens.
Speaking of meetings I was
reminded that the Farm Bureau’s annual
meeting is coming up the first weekend in
December. I hope and pray everyone is
done by then, not particularly for the meet-
ing, but for everyone's sanity.
Be safe and keep your cool. As one of my
drivers said "Take a chill pill."

Bob Bradney is a lifelong resident of Jacksonville and spends a great deal of time exploring the countryside. This column will appear monthly, suggesting
the best places to go for short and inexpensive trips, revealing what there is to see and do in the prairies.
26 November - 2 December 2009
How many times have you taken a
trip to see other places, for example, the col-
ors in the fall, only to return to Jacksonville
and for one spouse to ask the other “Why did
we go someplace else? This is the prettiest
place we have seen on the trip?”
As a matter of fact, this happens
even if one has gone on a long trip. We live
in a beautiful city. We live in a beautiful city
that has a lot of history. And as the price of
gasoline creeps higher and higher, several
columns about some sights around here might
be in order.
Today, let’s go to Community Park.
It is located in the block west of South Main,
north of Michigan, East of Diamond and
south of Morton. It shares that block with the
Jacksonville Developmental Center; the
Womens’ Crisis Center; a Senior Center; the
Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce; and
some other organizations we’ll be discussing
in the future. Community Park as such hasn’t
been there all that long. It was deeded by the
State of Illinois to the City of Jacksonville in
1974. The place is beautiful. As a matter of
fact it is sensationally beautiful. It is not only
that, but the City of Jacksonville keeps it
manicured, twelve months out of the year.
The loop walkway around the park
turns out to be .89 of a mile. And while many
older citizens will remember long lines of
Jacksonville State Hospital patients, each
with their hands on the shoulders of the
patient in front of them, walking from build-
ing to building, what one sees now is a never
ending stream of walkers, joggers, bikers, and
passing cars taking in the sights and the
sounds.
History was made here. Very

important history, not only to the readers of
this column, but to every person who lives in
the United States. I do not exaggerate.
Before the middle of the 19th cen-
tury, the insane were treated worse than ani-
mals. It was thought insanity was a punish-
ment from God, and those who suffered from
it should be treated accordingly. They were
either thrown into unspeakable jails, or were
locked in attics and kept out of sight. The
incarceration of these people led to such hor-
rors that we even have a noun “bedlam”
which happens to be the name of a jail where
they were dumped in London.
In 1847 Dorothea Dix addressed
the Illinois State Legislature and described
the inhumanity as to how the insane were
treated. This led to the legislature establish-
ing the first state asylum for the insane. It

was remarkable because for almost the first
time in America (and perhaps anyplace else in
the world), the state undertook to care for the
insane, paying all expenses for their hospital-
ization and care.
And did it grow. By the 1930s,
there were over one hundred buildings on the
campus. There were 3000 patients there, and
almost 1000 employees.
The Main building was a five story
affair that stood just south of the War
Memorial Circle. It had huge separate wings,
one for men and one for women, extending
east and west of the Main building. (It was
torn down in 1970).

insanity was recognized as a treatable disease
and that patients should be treated with con-
sideration is a world shaking achievement,
but out of all of this came a legal development
that equals or excels even that.
The story begins near Kankakee,
Illinois in 1839 when a young woman by the
name of Elizabeth Ware was courted by The
Reverend Theophilus Packard. Elizabeth
wanted nothing to do with him, but her par-
ents insisted, so she married him. By 1860
they had six children. To outsiders it
appeared to be a happy marriage, but it was
anything but that. They disagreed about how
to raise the children; they disagreed about
slavery; and most significantly of all,
Elizabeth disagreed with her husband’s theol-
ogy.
To be committed to the insane asy-
lum, the law provided that any person com-
mitted was entitled to a hearing in court.
There was one exception. A married man
could have his wife committed without a
hearing. The Reverend had, in his church, a
doctor friend who, posing as a sewing
machine salesman, talked to Elizabeth and
elicited from her that she was so in disagree-
ment with her husband’s theology that her
husband thought her crazy. The doctor
reported this back to Theophilus. As
Elizabeth was preparing dinner a few nights
later, a County Sheriff appeared, seized her
and brought her to Jacksonville where she
was confined.
She was confined here for three
years. All during that time she told her doc-
tors what had happened, but to no avail. With
the limited knowledge of psychiatry (Freud

lawyers, who immediately applied for, and

world is that? It is one of the most priceless
rights each of us has. It comes to us from the
common law of England. What it does is to
demand that the body of the person being held
be produced immediately in front of a judge.
The judge ordered that she be
released. Ironically, while it was legal her
husband could have her committed without a
hearing, it was not legal to have her impris-
oned in her own house.
Once she obtained her freedom, she
filed suit for a restoration of her sanity and her
civil rights. The lawsuit was remarkable. Her
husband called first of all, three members of

his Church. Each testified that anyone who
disagreed with her husband’s theology had to
be insane. He called a fellow minister of his
Church, and he testified that any woman who
would disagree with her husband was insane.
Finally, he entered the records of the
Jacksonville State Hospital with her diagnosis
of “incurable insanity”.
In her defense, Elizabeth told the
jury what had happened to her. Her neigh-
bors, testified she was a wonderful woman,
wonderful mother, and totally sane. Finally,
her lawyers produced a theologian from a dif-
ferent church, and he said it was a sign of
healthy sanity for a woman to disagree with
her husband.
It took the jury seven minutes to
find her sane.
Elizabeth never divorced
Theophilus, but did not return home. She did
remain close to her children for the rest of her
life. But, realizing what a close call she had,
she founded the Anti-Insane Society and pub-
lished several books. All of this led to the
passage of a bill in Illinois in 1867 granting all
people, including wives, the right of a public
hearing before they can be involuntarily com-
mitted. Three other states quickly followed
suit, and now every State in the United States
together with the legislatures of all civilized
countries, make the same requirement.
Really significant. And it happened
here.

our brothers in black.
I’d seen their carpentry crew in
action when we hired them to shingle a
very large roof at Green Pastures camp-
ground. The Amish roofers showed up in
three black vans and one white vehicle
(obviously an Amish-in-training), and
with about three words introduction they
began to work. White shirts, black pants,

Side note: I know that I’m lump-
ing all the Amish into one general catego-
ry. Perhaps there are a dozen varieties but
my Presbyterian outlook can’t seem to
discriminate between the various ver-
sions.
When I traveled to White Hall to
pick out a shed, I found a neat little com-
pound of buildings that obviously served
as home, factory, and showroom for their
enterprise. I’d just stepped out of my car
when a spirit appeared beside me.
Actually, I doubt that she was a real spir-
it, but it was a foggy morning, she was
dressed in a white head cap and apron,
and I hadn’t had coffee since leaving
Arenzville. In a quiet, clipped tone she
asked if she could help me, I indicated
26 November - 2 December 2009
by Ken Bradbury
that she could indeed, and it was at that
moment that his sixteen-year-old maid of
the mist turned into a high-powered shed
salesman. This girl was good.
One of the reasons I seldom
shop around for anything is that I’m a
genuine pushover for any sales pitch. I
paid a guy outside Buckingham Palace to
take a picture of my students and I know
full well that his camera was empty and
I’d never see those photographs. I was
just so fascinated by the guy’s sales sch-
peel that I wrote the two pounds off as an
entertainment tax.
The little Amish girl had me
from the get-go and I came home the
owner of a new storage shed. If she’d
offered me a horse or a condo I’d proba-
bly have bought those as well.
So…my shed arrived a week
later. A new shed rolling down the streets
of Arenzville gets a lot of attention, so by
the time the delivery truck arrived we had
drawn a small crowd. (Actually, a strange
dog has the same effect in Arenzville but
the Amish don’t do dogs.)
I was amazed that they’d sent
only one man to unload the thing. I mean
this was a rather large building, but the
guy was a pro. A quiet pro. I think the
sum total of his words was “Are you Mr.
Bradbury?” then 30 minutes later, “I
guess that’s it.” Economy.
He unloaded the building in a
pouring rain (first donning his black rain-
coat), unhitched a little shed hauling
machine from his truck, lifted the struc-
ture clear and then carefully placed it in
the designated spot, all the while hum-
ming to himself. Who hums in the rain?
I was cold, I was getting soaked,
and I was completely unnecessary to the
process. When somebody’s delivering
your new building you feel obligated to at
least stand there and watch, so I did. In
fact, I minored in “watching” in college.
Since the weather was so moist
that day I didn’t give my new shed a care-
ful inspection. It was a day later when I
discovered that a door had been damaged
somewhere along the line. I wrote the
boys in black a letter, citing the problems,
and the day they got the letter they
phoned me…three times… telling me
they’d be there the next morning to
replace the door.
The Amish door-fixer was more
discreet than even the salesgirl and the
deliveryman. I didn’t even see him.
Despite what you learned from the old
cartoons, some ghosts dress in black.

Missing Pieces
My wife enjoys puzzles. not
puzzles of the dime store “1001 Word
Puzzles (Edition 789)” variety, nor the
mental riddles our kids occasionally
blurt at us from their little joke books.
And certainly not the endless marriage
or family puzzles such as “Why does my
husband return every Christmas present
I buy him?” or “Why am I the only one
who sees fit to fold these clothes?”
Women have wrestled with such conun-
drums for ages, and since they appear to
be unsolvable, my wife wastes no more
time trying to figure them out.
What she enjoys are puzzles
that have a beginning and an end, and
that require nothing more complicated
than her attention to solve them. The
kind that bring contentment to a rainy
vacation day, where a pot of tea and four
hours of concentration yield a relaxing
afternoon. The kind that drive anyone
(like me) with a toddler’s attention span
crazy. The kind that come in 250, 500,
or 1000 pieces.
They come that way most of
the time, I should say.
Her puzzles are one of several
items she does not see the need to buy
new, so rummage sales are an excellent
source. The nice thing about rummage
sale puzzles is that they are almost
always complete; however, rummage
sales are limited in size and scale, and
the puzzle selection reflects that. For a
large variety of puzzles, oftentimes
shelves upon shelves of puzzles, nothing
beats secondhand stores. There are puz-
zles a plenty to choose from, whatever
your interest may be. The selection at
one of our local resale shops exceeds
any new retail outfit in the area.
Unfortunately, there is a down-
side to secondhand store puzzles. The
bountiful selection, more often than not,
is more along the lines of 249, 497, and
992 piece puzzles.
I do not fault the stores.
Counting the pieces of donated puzzles
is a completely unrealistic expectation.
The fault rests solely on the donors.
Counting on the donors to contribute
goods worthy of resale is apparently just
too much to expect, and therein lies the
problem. My use of puzzles in this rant
is just for illustration; obviously, my
concern is much larger than mere puz-
zles. Broken toys, stained clothing,
decrepit furniture, and fried electronics
are in ample supply at secondhand
stores. I shop there, as many of us do,
by choice. But what about those who
by Patrick Grace
are struggling? What about those that
are wobbling on that thin line between
secondhand stores and charity? What
does the sorry state of scrap items for
sale say to those who shop there by
necessity?
It says this: “This item is no
longer worthy of me, but it should be
good enough for you.”
Or it says this: “This item is no
longer worthy of me, but I want a tax
deduction for donating it, and I am too
lazy to find an organization that will dis-
tribute it for free to those who are truly
in need.”
There is truth in the saying,
“One man’s trash is another man’s treas-
ure.” But the fact is, sometimes trash is
just…trash. A doll without a head is no
longer a doll.
There is also some truth behind
“This item is no longer worthy of me.”
That may be a snobby way to phrase it,
but reality is snobby, and compared to
most of the world, we Americans inher-
it the role of the snobs. We inhabit a
consumer caste-like world; there is a
tremendous amount of genuine need out
there, and things we no longer consider
useful may be vital to someone else. A
torn couch can, at least, be sat upon, if
not repaired. And a stained shirt, to mil-
lions, is better than no shirt at all.
But there are better ways to
distribute items that we consider just on
the verge of usefulness. Several organi-
zations exist solely to collect what we
deem useless and deliver it freely into
the hands of those who still call it useful.
They may not be as convenient, may not
have drive-through collection points,
but they can be found with a bit of
effort. Some of them will even come to
your home to collect your donation, but
they require you to make an appoint-
ment and keep it. And you can still
claim the tax deduction.
Of course, I am not advocating
that donors abandon the resale shops.
The dollars they collect reselling donat-
ed items are needed more than ever. Let
us instead try to class up the joints. Here
is a common standard: if an item is nice
enough that you yourself would pur-
chase it secondhand, then it is an accept-
able donation. I know I could do better
in adopting that criteria and, judging by
what I see at a lot of resale shops, some
of you could too.

From L - R Phyllis Flynn, Julie George, Marge Corder, Edna Eilering working the switchboard at 330 W. Beecher in
1986.
Telephone
(continued from pg. 9)
Jacksonville, Springfield, and Bloomington,
several operators would sit side by side at a
long, intricate switchboard.
Operators were required to take
math, spelling, and geography tests during the
hiring process and, once hired, they followed
a strict set of procedures. The primarily
female operators sat in high back chairs with
a cord in one hand and a pencil “palmed” in
the other at all times. They worked quickly,
reaching as far to the left and right as they
could to connect calls. Each station had two
plug-ins so operators could easily relieve each
other, without ever disconnecting from the
switchboard. They even followed a procedure
to enter a station from the left, assist the cur-
rent operator from her chair, and exit a station
from the right.
Pat worked as both a local and a
long-distance operator during her many years
with the telephone company. Long distance
calls were especially complex because of the
number of connections they often required. If
a caller wanted to make a phone call from
Jacksonville to Minneapolis, for instance, the
Jacksonville office might not have a direct
long-distance connection. To route the call,
the operator needed to connect the call
through additional offices. This process chal-
lenged the capabilities of the existing technol-
ogy, sometimes requiring operators to con-
nect through numerous circuits. Sometimes a
circuit might become so built up that, once
connected, long-distance callers couldn’t hear
each other.
A switchboard operator’s job was
especially challenging during holidays, emer-
gencies, and national disasters when call vol-
umes were larger than usual. Some of their
busiest days included Christmas and Mother’s
Day, when everyone wanted to call home and
speak to their families. While holidays kept
them on their toes, emergencies kept opera-
tors even busier. Ruth recalls the enormous
call volumes the day President Kennedy was
assassinated. Many of the women from her
office returned from having lunch at the

Dunlap Hotel to find the switchboard “lit up
like a Christmas tree.” Call volumes that
could reach as high as 3,000 a day reached
somewhere around 5,000 following this
shocking event.
The telephone company continued
to employ operators in Jacksonville until
1986. When Pat heard about the possibility of
the office closing, she didn’t believe it at first.
As the closing became a reality, Pat became
concerned about preserving the history of the
local telephone industry she’d been a part of
for so many years. Pat says she “wanted
future generations to know about where the

the equipment would be destroyed. She

If the longevity of a business is any gauge of its

quality of service, then the Firestone Complete Auto Care
establishment in downtown Springfield may rank highly in
the auto care industry in this area. Firestone has occupied
the corner of Sixth and American Legion Avenue, 407
South Sixth Street to be exact, since 1927.
Quality service that stands the test of time, howev-
er, has people behind it. In Firestone’s case, it is Phil
Fromme.
Many of Firestone’s patrons are workers from the
downtown area. However, Fromme, the store’s manager, is
quick to point out that he also has a faithful customer base
from Jacksonville.
“I also worked at several places in Jacksonville for
a lot of years,” he says. When he began working at
Firestone, many of his customers stayed with him. “I’d like
to believe that they learned that I take good care of my cus-
tomers and they stayed with me for that reason,” he says.
Additionally, there are some companies located in
Jacksonville, such as Wood Wheels, Inc. and Jacksonville
Auto Mart, that continue to maintain a regular business with
him.
Fromme, who lives in Alexander, has been the
manager at Firestone for three years. His son Sam, of
Jacksonville, joined him in the business about a year ago.
The Frommes, along with the other Firestone staff,
provide a full range of automobile care services. In addi- Firestone is located at 407 South 6th Street in Springfield, IL. They are open 7am - 6pm Monday - Saturday.

tion to providing tires for all makes of autos, such as
domestic cars, luxury cars, sports utility vehicles, imports
and pickups, they also perform preventative maintenance,
work on heating and cooling systems, brakes, steering, and
suspensions—you name it and they do it. According to
Fromme, they work on everything “except a dent.”
In fact, repairs and maintenance make up about 75
percent of the business and tires, about 25 percent.
For these services, Fromme has on staff several
ASE-certified technicians. Technicians attain certification
through programs and testing by the national Institute for
Automotive Service Excellence. The institute awards the
only nationally recognized credentials for automobile serv-
ice personnel.
Fromme himself is an ASE-certified master techni-
cian. He received his initial certification in 1974.
According to the ASE program, recertification is required
every five years to keep technicians up to date on the latest
in automotive technology and advancements.
Thus, while a brand name and a well-established
business help to ensure the continued success of Firestone
Complete Auto Care, so, too, does its well-trained and
experienced staff.
Fromme’s customer service is not limited to the
quality of repair work, however. It is extended to the care
of the customer, also. Phil Fromme, Firestone Manager is pictured above with his son and employee, Sam. Photo by Stacie Lewis.

For the Haddens, that
base was established all the
way back in the 1800s. The
family’s current farm in west-
central Illinois was settled in
1929 by Charles Hadden,
Gary’s great-grandfather.
It now is led by Gary’s
father, Bob, and mother,
Carolyn. They have four sons –
Dale, Kenny, Gary and Paul.

Gary said he is concerned about
the economic and political challenges
that now threaten agriculture. He said
his family hopes its outreach efforts help
educate others about the importance of
farming.
“During our ag tours and petting
zoos, the kids get to see a steer and
touch a pig,” he said.
His mother, Carolyn, who has
held several positions with the Morgan
County Fair, Morgan County 4-H, and
Morgan County Extension, recalled a
preschool visit where even the teachers
didn’t know the source of their food.
“When you asked them where
their glass of milk came from, they had
no idea it came from a cow,” she said.
“They don’t know that bucket of
wheat is their hamburger bun, donuts,
and cookies,” Gary added.
Most people do not comprehend
— and, in turn, appreciate — farming,
Dale lamented.
“Very few people understand
how today’s agriculture works — the
cost to produce an acre of corn and the
tive cost of a combine,” he said. Farming is
a business, he emphasized, and should
inue be treated as such by elected leaders and

illinois Collegeby Lauren Ridings
Thanksgiving is possibly one of my favorite times of year. When
else do you have an excuse to eat three helpings of food (without feeling
guilty) and relax all day? I can’t tell you how excited I am to hang out with
my crazy family, dive into the mashed potatoes and egg noodles, and play
games like “Apples to Apples” or “Pictionary.” But there is so much more
to this holiday aside from turkey and football, because it’s a time for us to
give thanks. I know it sounds cheesy, but how often do we take time out of
our busy lives to think about what we are thankful for? For most, includ-
ing myself, probably not often. Thanksgiving, however, is an entire day
dedicated to doing just that.
About two years ago, I submitted myself into the Big Brothers Big
Sisters program, thinking that it was an easy way to earn a few service hours
for my Literary Society. I had low expectations of the program and my “lit-
tle sister,” not because they were inadequate, but because I wasn’t planning
on putting much effort into the program. The day that I met my “little”
changed everything. There she was, six years old, with the cutest round
face and big brown eyes. She was shy, at first, but I could instantly tell that
we were going to be friends. The first time we spent time together, we went
to Pizza Hut. She was so excited to be with me that we spent almost two
whole hours there and she cried when it was time to go home!
After two years with my little, we have formed an inseparable
bond. She has truly inspired me because despite any problems or hardships
in her life, she always manages to smile and focus on what’s important. She
even told me that she had received the “best-behaved” honor in her class
this year! I am so thankful for this little piece of inspiration because she has
given me a bigger appreciation for life.
I have so many things to give thanks for that I could write a novel!
I’m thankful for my family, my friends, my education, my job, my health,
and so many other things. Sometimes we forget how fortunate we really
are, despite life’s problems. So this Thanksgiving, while you are stuffing
your face with the best meal of the year, remember to take a moment to
appreciate what you have.

by Tina Arnold
Sleeping-in, no classes to wake up for, assignments not due for a week,
time to relax, time to watch television, and time to be with family. yes, you
guessed it; MacMurray College is on Thanksgiving break! After a few stressful
and busy weeks at school, I do not know of any student who was not looking for-
ward to this week at home. The chance to go home means the opportunity to relax
and spend time with my family and friends, and let’s not forget the home cooked
food that every college student wants while at home!
This past week has been great. I forget how relaxing life outside of
school can be. While at Mac, I get caught up in I.D.E.A. work, homework, and
working for ISD, but while at home, I have time to watch television (without feel-
ing guilty about the homework assignment staring at me from across the room),
time to talk with my parents and to act silly with my sister, and the chance to write
papers on my own time, instead of cramming them in between classes and other
daily obligations. The town I call home is a small one of only 2,500 people. We
do not have a stoplight, a Wal-Mart, nothing in our town is open 24 hours, and the
‘cool’ place to chat with friends at night is an empty parking lot across from the
Dairy Queen. needless to say, coming to MacMurray was exciting for me, and
Jacksonville seemed like a big town at first. Over the past two and a half years, I
have grown accustomed to the sound of the train that is only a couple blocks away
and the sirens on the police cars and ambulances that drive by the dorm at all
hours. now, when I go home, my house is so quiet that it almost feels odd. My
home is three-tenths of a mile away from a road that is not often traveled anyway.
Basically, we are in the middle of nowhere, and our closest neighbors seem to be
miles away to “city” people. Even with these differences in living, I love both of
my homes: MacMurray and nokomis. As a junior here at MacMurray, I am look-
ing forward to going back to school in a week, not for the final exams, but for the
home I have made there over the past three years.

The 2009 deer season is off to a
slow start. Three days of unseasonably
warm weather, flooding creeks, and
standing corn has led to a lackluster start.
I have spoke to several hunters who told
me they only saw a few deer opening
morning. The majority of hunters I spoke
to told me they have seen no deer at all.
With cooler weather in the forecast and
many farmers working around the clock
to harvest the final crops, hunting should
be better the second season.
The seven-day firearm season
concludes on Dec. 3-6. Illinois deer
hunters are reminded to be safe when
entering into the field. “Deer hunting is
part of our outdoor heritage in Illinois,
and we want to encourage all hunters
heading to the field this week for the start
of the firearm season to make safety their
first priority,” said Illinois Department of
natural Resources (IDnR) Director
Marc Miller. “Hunters always need to be
conscious of firearm and tree stand safe-
ty to ensure a safe and enjoyable hunt.”
Hunters in Illinois harvested a
preliminary total of 106,018 deer during
the seven-day firearm deer hunting sea-
son in 2008. More than 360,000 permits
have been issued to date for the 2009
firearm season. Firearm permits were
available over the counter for the first
time this year. Morgan County deer per-
mits were reportedly sold out before the
first season started. For information on
remaining permits, check the IDnR web

BEFORE YOU BUY, ASK US!
 Deck the Halls and More!
by Sherry Hopkin
On your
mark, get set, go!!!
It is that time of the
year. Most of us are
beginning to pre-
pare for the holidays. If you are like
me, those preparations include deco-
rating, gift buying and food and party
planning.
As If you don't have enough
overload of this information from
Martha, Rachel, Paula and DIy TV, I
am going to throw in my own, local,
two cents worth. This is a three part
series, it will begin with holiday deco-
rating.
The central point of most hol-
iday decorating is usually the
Christmas Tree. My favorite find for
this Christmas season has been the
revolving tree stand, it put a wow fac-
tor in the tree before the first ornament
was hung.
Theme trees are always a
good way to decorate and can be quite
thrifty.
Last year, I hung lots of
miniature teapots, cup and saucers on
my white tree. This year, going with
the idea that bigger is better, I used 20
normal sized, mix and match saucers
and dessert plates (garage sales, auc-
tions, hand-me-downs) and stuffed
them in between the branches.
I spray-painted some branches
that had fallen out of my oak tree out-
side, painting them white and pink to
fit my décor and placed them between
the branches on the un-fluffy sad part
of my tree, used an old quilt for my
tree skirt and ta da instant designer
tree.
you can have your own
instant designer home. Here are my
top five, easy and helpful hints for
transforming your home into a magical
holiday
wonderland:
1. Exchange your photos in frames for
Christmas photos from years past. If
you wish to do this by theme, you can
do so by generations, present openings
of the past decades, Christmas trees of
the past or just the stair steps of your
children’s lives. Cluster the frames
together, adding some greenery and
lights and you have created a
Christmas walk down memory lane for

2. Christmas trees can add holiday
cheer in any room. For an adult bed-

3. When using fresh greenery try to use
several different types together. This
provides your greenery with more
dimension, subtle color variations, and
a professional look. Start exploring for

Florence’s Philosophies: If At First You Don’t
Succeed, Try and Try Again... by Trev Florence
Webster’s defines the following:
1. Succeed
a: to turn out well
b: to attain a desired object or end
c: to do what one has attempted or desired to
do
2. Try
a: to attempt
b: to subject to something
The title for this philosophy began
running through my head about 48 hours
prior to me actually writing it down. My
mind would revisit the title, over and over
again, but no “filler thoughts” would follow.
So, I’d take a breath, focus on something else,
and take confidence in knowing that when
my mind was “right,” I would know exactly
what to type on the paper.
I am pretty sure one important fac-
tor in my decision to remain committed to
communicating this philosophy was my
openness and willingness to give it enough
time and space to develop within my imagi-
nation. I chose not to give up on the idea and
instead, I would come back to it and come
back to it, until I was able to fully compre-
hend it and share it with all of you.
It’s a lot like the childhood tale,
The Little Engine that Could. now, my mem-
ory of this story is not vivid, as it has been
