Visits: When we were all a community

The visits of politicians to my house are welcomed and it’s a good time to connect with whose going to be making decisions on how our taxes are spent and what kind of laws we will be living under. Yes, come talk to me anytime!

By Ralph Waggener
Personal commentary of Editor of It's Just for a Smile News

The days gone by when neighbors visited neighbor has passed. We get few visitors other than family anymore. The late Colby Pickett and his wife Wayne where our next door neighbors when we lived in the Rice Addition.

Colby was the one person who would summons everyone he could see to gather ether on his front porch or even in the streets; when this happened we were all a community.



Everyone enjoyed these visits, but when Colby died the visits slowed to only a few.

The visits of politicians to my house are welcomed and it's a good time to connect with whose going to be making decisions on how our taxes are spent and what kind of laws we will be living under. Yes, come talk to me anytime!

Thanks for visiting Ralph Roy Waggener. I do respect privacy and suggest that you put up a not welcome sign if you don’t want to be bothered by other people. - Ralph Roy Waggener
