Remember When
Just ask the grandkids about me
Boy, I sure am feeling much safer. For a few dollars each month I can now protect myself from identity loss.

Don’t ever forget to share the good stuff
Somewhere along the road to old age, I found myself too involved and in a hurry to get nowhere.
I’ve missed out on things by not taking the time to stop and smell the roses.
Does any of this sound familiar?
You know, I think it’s partially due to our upbringing. Every daddy has the feeling he had a hard life growing up. That’s part of being a father.
Because of that, we silently vow to make up for it by making things easier for our children.

Carboard cartons never get their due
A couple of weeks after Sears and Roebuck sent back Aunt Bessie’s check for my J.C. Higgins Roadmaster, stuff was changing in a hurry.
One of ‘em was my opinion of President Roosevelt. I thought he had made a big mistake. I just couldn’t figure out how one bicycle could contribute so mightily to the war effort.
Mama was reading the morning paper about how tires, gasoline, sugar, electric ice boxes, Hershey Bars, and shoes, among other things would be in short supply for the home folks.

Walking home stirs childhood memories
While vacationing in Maryland, I got one of those phone calls nobody likes.

Mother's Day pin never lost its luster
– Editor’s note: W.B. Evans is on vacation this week. Due to reader requests, we are reprinting this Remember When column, which was originally published in the May 13, 2007, edition of The Lancaster News. “Mamas cannot be replaced, but our memories help keep them alive,” Evans said. “I’m getting mushy, but somehow I feels that she knows I still care, at least, if The Lancaster News is on the newsstands in heaven!”

Things sure are smelling better
Here we go again. It’s been a whole week since Easter and the great-grands are still begging me to hide the eggs, one more time.
Fortunately, somebody invented plastic eggs. The mess of real chicken-produced eggs from the coop in the back yard that came to life thanks to Mama’s boiling and dyeing efforts are a thing of the past.
As a child, my enjoyment of the egg-hunting didn’t last this long.
Mama started the spring cleaning right after Easter.

Preacher's wives get to do the neat stuff
On Monday, the President and First Lady will send out the Secret Service to round up children in Virginia and Maryland, give them a colored basket and a free pass to wallow in the grass on the South Lawn of America’s back yard for the 133rd annual White House Easter Egg Roll.
Given the political correctness of the times, I’m kinda surprised they haven’t changed the name to the “Spring Spheres Rotation.”

W.B. Evans: It takes a spy to spot a spy
You know, I gotta hand it to my neighbors who participate in our local crime watch programs.
They don’t expect medals or fame. They enjoy the self-satisfaction of looking out for their neighbors and reducing crime.
There was a time I was a dedicated crime watcher, or a least, tried to be.
World War II had been going on almost a year. All of us were tryin’ to do our part, which meant rationing was an everyday thing.

Remember When;I'll take a dime store any day
Bless Pete, these super stores sure are something.They have stuff scattered all over the place. From cabbages to carpet tacks with aspirin thrown in for good measure, they have it.
To be truthful, these “supercenters” try to fool us. They will move merchandise around so we have to walk every aisle to find the headache remedies.
Other times, they just flat forget to restock our favorites. Here’s the issue as I see it; not even the folks who work in ’em can tell you where the soy sauce is stocked.
