09/10/06 - NNHS Newsletter - Grandparents' Day “Our grandchildren accept us for ourselves, without rebuke or effort to change us, as no one in our entire lives has ever done, not our parents, siblings, spouses, friends - and hardly ever our own grown children." - Ruth Goode

Dear Friends and Schoolmates, 

Many of you may not personally be observing today, but as you know, we try to celebrate everything together here!

Hi Carol,   This is a great way for all to recognize and remember September 11; and at the same time show our support for our troops at home and overseas.   My nephew's son, a 2005 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, is proudly serving our Country in Iraq. He and all the troops need and deserve our support.   Thanks for considering this to be posted in your newsletters.   By the way, a NNHS delegation walking together would be neat..   And, great appreciation to you for all that you do for us....Bobby    Thanks so much, Bobby!!!

From My Friend, Jamie, of VA - 08/31/06:

  From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of VA - 09/06/06 - "The Little Things":

The 'L I T T L E' things As you might know, the head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten. Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts. One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time. One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident. One of them missed his bus. One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change. One's car wouldn't start. One went back to answer the telephone. One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have. One couldn't get a taxi. The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today. Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone... all the little things that annoy me. I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment.. Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated; God is at work watching over you. May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose. Having Grandchildren is a wonderful blessing.........    Yes, it is! That one I understand!      But this overall theme is usually a difficult concept for me to grasp, Joyce.  Thanks so much for the beautiful reminder!      And it's so good to hear from you again, Lady!!!

  From Me ('65) of NC - 09/08/05 - "Dixie Hospital":

I saw this image on eBay recently and snagged it, as Dixie Hospital played such an important role in our lives.  Many of y'all were born in one of their buildings.    I know I had a much earlier postcard which pictured one of those, but I cannot seem to locate it.    Meanwhile, I added this new page to Our Old Stomping Grounds: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/old-stomping.html      http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/OOSG-C-G.html           http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/dixie-hospital.html - brand new page

Silver Threads Among the Gold

Words by Eben E. Rexford (1848-1916);
Music by Hart Pease Danks (1834-1903), 1873


Darling, I am growing old,
Silver threads among the gold
Shine upon my brow today;
Life is fading fast away;
But, my darling, you will be, will be,
Always young and fair to me,
Yes, my darling, you will be,
Always young and fair to me.
Chorus:

When your hair is silver white,
And your cheeks no longer bright,
With the roses of the May;
I will kiss your lips and say-
Oh! my darling, mine alone, alone,
You have never older grown,
Yes, my darling, mine alone,
You have never older grown.
Chorus:

Love can never more grow old,
Locks may lose their brown and gold,
Cheeks may fade and hollow grow,
But the hearts that love will know
Never, never, winter's frost and chill:
Summer warmth is in them still-
Never winter's frost and chill,
Summer warmth is in them still.
Chorus:

Love is always young and fair,-
What to us is silver hair,
Faded cheeks or steps grown slow,
To the heart that beats below?
Since I kissed you, mine alone, alone,
You have never older grown-
Since I kissed you, mine alone,
You have never older grown.
Chorus:

Chorus:
Darling, I am growing old,
Silver threads among the gold,
Shine upon my brow today;
Life is fading fast away.
