I remember Nurses and the white dresses, shoes, and nurses cap. I miss seeing them.
Remember church, weddings, and funerals? Women wore nice dresses, hats, and many times gloves. Men wore shirt, ties, and suites. Things change for the better 
When was I last in Rainelle? Don’t know for sure. 30 years at least perhaps a little longer. (MJ sees “little long” she will go bananas again)
I’ve never been a “Blue Grass” fan. Always related it to how Bill Monroe sang. I located this web site and if you like banjo, guitar, with some other instruments on occasion this is a great site.
I liked their selection of music. ALL FREE. Songs are from just over 1 min to over 4 min. Probably well over 100 selections.
Yellow Rose of Texas. Dueling Banjos (which I like). Down Yonder. Orange Blossom Special. Old Time Religion. There Goes My Everything. Walbash Cannonball. I guess it’s the sound that makes it Blue Grass, but I just enjoyed listening to some of the music. Remember the Mills Bros great song “Yellow Bird”

I can honestly say I have not heard the music.
“Jeremiah Johnson” is a favorite. “Magnificent Seven” outstanding. “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” never gets old. All great sound tracks.
They just don’t make movies the way they use to. 
And who among us recognizes the “William Tell Overture” and immediately thinks ______________.
It's truism, I’ve gotten old but not before my time.

Chris: William Tell Overture...is that Lone Ranger and Tonto?
Yes, Chris, we are older but it happened suddenly. I took a nap under a tree one day and woke up and looked in the mirror and [:(... it goes so quickly doesn't it? It's very nice to meet you Chris.  I have no doubt that God planned this website to bring hearts home to Rainelle for a visit through this remarkable device called the computer. Thanks to those who planned and made possible this site where one can click on and feel like they have been "home".

| Sandy Walker Manspile would have enjoyed this so much and she would have been the top poster while the rest of us read it and laughed. In the minds eye I can see she, Gingy and Genie riding through Rainelle with the top down on that convertible - laughing, laughing, oh how those girls smiled and laughed. Until her final day, Sandy was laughing and reaching out to help others. Yes, she would have made us laugh until we cried if she could post on this site. She was a great line dancer too. She laughed and danced. She loved her family so much. Where did she get all that energy? Linedancer. |

The sun comes up and the sun goes down,
The hands on the clock keep going round,
I just get up and it’s time to lay down,
Life gets tedious, don’t it?
My shoes untied but I don’t care,
I was’nt figuring on going nowhere,
I’d have to wash and comb my hair,
And that’s just wasted effort.
Water in the well gettin’ lower end lower,
Can’t take a bath for a month or more,
But I’ve heard it told and it’s true I’m sure,
That too much bathing weakens yer.
Open the door and the flies come in,
Shut the door and yer sweating again,
And in the process, I cracked my shin,
Just one darn thing after another.
Ole brown mule, he must be sick,
I jabbed him in the rump with a pin on a stick,
He humped his back but he did’nt kick,
There’s something cockeyed somewhere.
Ole mouse chawing on the pantry door,
Been chawing there for a month or more,
When he gets through he’s gonna be sore,
There aint a darn thing in there.
Hound dog howling so forlorn,
Laziest dog that ever was born,
He’s howling cause he’s sittin’ on a thorn,
And he’s just too tired to move over.
Tin roof leaks and the chimney leans,
There’s a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans,
I ’ate the last of my pork and beans,
Just can’t depend on nothin’.
Cows gone dry and the hens won’t iay,
Fish stopped biting last Saturday,
Troubles piling up day by day,
And now I’m gettin’ dandruff.
Grief and misery pain and woes,
Bills and taxes and so it goes,
And now I’m gettin’ a cold in the nose,
Life gets tasteless — Don’t it?!

Chris: HaHaHa that's a great one! I've thought of posting a poem or two on here before but never took the time. Did you write that one yourself? I'll find and post this one: "My Get Up and Go Has Got Up and Went". I daresay there are others who can identify with that |

Recently we have mentioned floods, train wrecks, and those who lost their life in wars. That some how, I guess, brought to mind a tragedy in Rainelle I remembered. It was during a flood and if I recall correctly, the young lads name was Jerry Slaven (unsure of the spelling). Don’t know if he was in a boat alone or playing along the bank during the heavy runoff of a storm. I think he was somewhere along Little Sewell when last seen. His body was found somewhere down in the area of the C&O water tower as I recall. This was the only tragedy that I can remember from Rainelle. Perhaps Connard can fill in some details.
And now on the lighter side:
Reporter):
Hello, everyone, this is your action news reporter with all the news
that is news across the nation, on the scene at the supermarket. There
seems to have been some disturbance here. Pardon me, sir, did you see
what happened?
(Witness):
Yeah, I did. I's standin' overe there by the tomaters, and here he
come, running through the pole beans, through the fruits and vegetables,
nekkid as a jay bird. And I hollered over t' Ethel, I said, "Don't
look, Ethel!" But it's too late, she'd already been incensed. |
