   I called my late husband, “Hon” pretty much the entire 58 years we were married.

   Sorry for the grammar mistake…”a 5000 pound batch …”

   BTW, There’s an Army ammunitions plant in Radford, VA that makes nitroglycerin as one of its products. They have a pretty good safety record, but I remember back in 1985 that there was a bad accident involving an 5,000 pound batch of nitroglycerin exploding and a whole storage building was vaporized. All that was left was a half-acre hole in the ground. A couple of the workers were also killed. One man was blown out of the building, but the other man was never found.

   I had fifty-eight years of holding on to my hubby and the last four without him. I tell my friends whose husbands are still living, “hold him close and hold him tight!” Still miss him every day.

   My hubby and I were married 58 years and he died four years ago. I miss his hugs so much. I tell my friends who still have their spouses to “hold them close, and hug them often” while they still can.

   My son took two pb&j sandwiches to school every day in elementary school and three each day in middle and high school. I used to buy peanut butter by the gallon at a wholesale grocery store, and a dozen or so loves of sandwich bread at the day-old store, double-bag them and freeze them. And it had to be grape jelly only. IMO that’s the only kind of jelly for a pb&j sandwichs.

   I didn’t say there is an extra hour of daylight. I said that we have more daylight hours in the evening now. Getting up in the dark and going to work in the dark isn’t a problem. It’s dark in the mornings in the winter, too.

    I live just inside Central Time Zone so in December and January the sun sets 4:30 to 5:00, and on cloudy days which seem to be all the time, it is starts to get dark at 4:00. I love Daylight Savings Time because the sun didn’t set until 6:30 today compared to 5:30 yesterday. During the summer months the sum doesn’t set till about 8:00 so you have more daylight hours after work to get things done outside, or just enjoy the extra daylight hours.
