Joke 

An Irishman, by the name of O' Malley proposed to his girl on St. Patrick's Day.

He gave her a ring with a synthetic diamond. The excited young lass showed it

 to her father, a jeweler. He took one look at it and saw it wasn't real.

The young lass on learning it wasn't real returned to her future husband. She protested vehemently about his cheapness.

'It was in honor of St. Patrick's Day, 'he smiled.

    'I gave you a sham rock.'

 

Trivia

The four-leaf clover is an uncommon variation of the common three-leaf clover. According to superstition, such leaves bring good luck to their finders

especially if found accidentally.

Clovers can have more than four leaflets. The most leaflets ever recorded is eighteen. It has been estimated that there are approximately 10,000 three-leaf clovers for every four-leaf clover.

According to legend, each leaflet represents something: the first is for, the

 second is for faith, the third is for love, and the fourth is for luck.

 

 

The Shamrock: a 3-Leaf Clover, is Ireland's most recognized National Symbol. Here are some interesting facts about the Shamrock:

Before the arrival of the Christians to Ireland the plant was sacred to the Irish Druids because the three leaves formed a triad.

St. Patrick used the Shamrock leaf to illustrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity:

How one God divided into three, The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. when preaching Christianity to the Irish people.

The word shamrock comes from the Irish word seamróg or seamair óg, meaning "little clover".

The tradition of wearing Shamrock on Saint Patrick's Day can be traced back to the early 1700s.

For good luck, it's usually included in the bouquet of an Irish bride, and also in the boutonniere of the groom.

To our Veterans Arnott England & Blair Vye

 

Tabusintac in the 1950’s & 60’s 

 

When someone in the community died, “wakes” were held in the family home.  Each family pitching in with loads of food to feed the family over the three days of mourning.  The support and caring continued long after the sod was turned.

Cemetery church service every summer.  Checking out the headstones.  Being careful not to step on the graves out of respect.

 

Old Home Week every five years.  Everyone measuring time by “last Old Home Week or was it the one before?”

 

First TV in 1961 or ’62.  The wavy lines and rolling picture.  The TV test pattern.

 

Learning the lyrics to the commercials.  “You wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent.”

 

High school graduation ceremonies as a community event.  Decorating the gym before it, and the graduation dance.  Always the best of the year.

 

Boat rides “up river” and to Tabusintac Beach.  Finding driftwood and building a bonfire.  Roasting marshmallows, usually flavored with beach sand by the time they were toasty.

 

Wiener roasts and corn boils on the graveyard beach.  Perley and Arthur playing guitar.  Pouring wet sand on the coals to douse the flames when the evening ended.

 

“The Top Ten Countdown” on TV with “The Little General”, Ron Bourgeois.

Learning all the words to new hit songs.

 

Ice storms, resulting in school cancellations.  Sliding “forever” on the icy crust.  Walking on top of the crust.  The tinkle sound of ice falling from the tree branches and power lines.  The sparkle of sun glinting off the ice.

 

Winter blizzards.  Thrill of new snowdrifts. Digging snow tunnels and making snow angels in new snow.   ( Mmmmm! Not so much of memory now J  )

 

Thanks to Nancy Avery, Easter for these great memories

                                A Special Poem

 

                     We go this way but once, “O Heart of Mine,”

                     So why not make the journey worth while,

                     Giving to those who travel on with us,

                      A helping hand, a word of cheer, a smile.

 

                      We go this way but once, “O Heart of Mine.”

                      Ah, never more can we go back;

                      Along the selfsame way, undo the wrong,

                      Or speak love’s words we knew, but did not say.

 

                      Love and best regards to all Tabusintac readers

                     

                      of the Tabby Tattler.   Nellie Harris

Garbage Notice

Your L.S.D. has been asked to advise residents that wood ashes should not

be thrown at roadsides.  Also, leaving food out at roadsides is not a good idea

as it attracts stray dogs, and residents are complaining of dogs being

over-attracted, some of which are not always friendly. Come spring,

raccoons, coyotes, and even bears can be attracted to thrown out food.

Your compliance with these requests is appreciated

 

Please be advised that Garbage day is now on Friday please have your

Garbage out by 7am
