AND that was yesterday!

YESTERDAY

• And there I was slim and trim on my beloved Harley, but that was yesterday.
• Oh for the days that I could get up at dawn and work till dark, but that was yesterday.
• Yes, I felt like I could out play and out work the best, but that was yesterday.
• It was always a thrill and a HIGH when I came home and the house was filled with laughter, running feet and a hug for Daddy, but that was yesterday.
• The highlight of the week was often a trip to the Dairy Queen, but that was yesterday.
• Summer days often ended with dishes in the sink but a great bike ride to the park, but that was yesterday.
• At the drop of the hat eveyone was up for a car ride, but that was yesterday.
• The sting of having a member of the family leave for college was felt by all, but that was yesterday.
• Friday at 3:30 I was out the door of the school to home, but that was yesterday.
• The sound of the soccer ball being kicked by little feet and then hitting the picket fence perhaps with a splinter of wood, but that was yesterday.
• There was always a concern about the boys as they walked around collecting paper route money, but that was yesterday.
• There was a trip next weekend but first there needed to be an oil change of the car, but that was yesterday.
• It was always a HIGH to hit the highway with wind in my face and an open road ahead of me, but that was yesterday.
• It was a good day when I could have a rider behind me with arms tight around my waist, but that was yesterday.
• There was NO thought of stones or dirt or dangerous nails on the ground as I sprinted across the harvest field with bare feet to catch the hopper on the combine, but that was yesterday.
• Maybe way too often I glanced at the far away barn door to see if Mom had the white towel on the door telling me lunch was ready, but that was yesterday.
• Dave and I raced around the yard with wooden guns just like cops and robbers would do, but that was yesterday.
• As dark descended onto the snow filled yard I walked with my pail and lantern to milk the cows, but that was yesterday.
• With Mom gone for the evening I knew my supper would be a handful of hard boiled eggs with a dollop of mustard and complimented by a thick slice of homemade bread, but that was yesterday.
• The week was full of anticipation as Ronald/Glorine, or Janet/John or Joan /Ron would be coming home, but that was yesterday.
• Friday night consisted of a basketball game with a fun bus ride home, but that was yesterday.
• I looked forward to 3:30 so I could get my practice clothes on and tie up my cleats for football practice.  It was a time to pretend I was strong and powerful, but that was yesterday.
• Yes it was May 27th and the end of my high school days arrived but I knew there were good days ahead, but that was yesterday.
• YESTERDAY WAS FILLED WITH THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE "WHAT IF".  IF I WERE A TRADING GUY I WOULD HOLD WHAT I HAD AND SAY I FOLD AS I AM SATISFIED.

Tomorrow it is TODAY
