A cloud

is a large collection

of very tiny droplets

of water or ice crystals.

The droplets

are so small and light

that they can

float

in the air.

“Rest is not idleness,

and to lie sometimes on the grass

under trees on a summer's day,

listening to the murmur of the water,

or watching the clouds float across the sky,

is by no means a waste of time.”
― John Lubbock, The Use Of Life

"There are no rules of architecture

for a castle in the clouds."

Gilbert K. Chesterton

"God writes the Gospel

not in the Bible alone,

but also on

trees,and in the flowers,

and clouds and stars."

Martin Luther

“I know that I shall meet my fate

somewhere among the clouds above;

those that I fight I do not hate,

those that I guard I do not love.”
― W.B. Yeats

“How sweet the morning air is!

See how that one little cloud

floats like a pink feather

from some gigantic flamingo.

Now the red rim of the sun

pushes itself over the London cloud-bank.

It shines on a good many folk, but on none,

I dare bet,

who are on a stranger errand than you and I.

How small we feel

with our petty ambitions and strivings

in the presence of the great

elemental forces of Nature!”
― Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories, Volume I

“The sun always shines

above the clouds.”
― Paul F. Davis

“Aren't the clouds beautiful?

They look like big balls of cotton...

I could just lie here all day, and watch them drift by...

If you use your imagination,

you can see lots of things in the cloud formations...

What do you think you see, Linus?"
"Well, those clouds up there look like the map

of the British Honduras on the Caribbean...

That cloud up there looks a little like the profile

of Thomas Eakins, the famous painter and sculptor...

And that group of clouds over there gives me the impression

of the stoning of Stephen...

I can see the apostle Paul standing there to one side..."
"Uh huh...

That's very good...

What do you see in the clouds, Charlie Brown?"
"Well, I was going to say

I saw a ducky and a horsie, but I changed my mind!”
― Charles M. Schulz, The Complete Peanuts, Vol. 5: 1959-1960

"To penetrate and dissipate

these clouds of darkness,

the general mind must be strengthened

by education."

President Thomas Jefferson

like heavy clouds in the sky,

are best relieved

by the letting of a little water."

Mom used to lie down in the grass with

my sister, Gloria;

my cousin, Tandra,

and me

when we were little girls.

Mom encouraged us to look up at the clouds,

and use our imagination

to see things in the cloud formations.

What a JOY to discover bunnies,

turtles, puppies, and castles in the clouds.

Now I look at the clouds in the sky at sunset,

and imagine I see Mom and Dad

on Heaven's balcony...dancing on the clouds.

CHERRY MASH

Marcia Norwood

Telling Untold Stories in Photographs, Prose and Public Speaking

http://tellmeastory-marcia.blogspot.com/

Cherry Mash has been a favorite candy bar of mine since I was a child in the 50's.

Go figure. I like Cherry Mash candy bars, but I don't like cherry pie. Maybe because the filling of the Cherry Mash candy bar isn't as sour a a cherry pie.

Cherry Mash is delicious as a candy bar, and it makes a great topping when melted and poured over ice cream.

Once, I posted in an online adoption group that Cherry Mash was my favorite candy bar. Many people around the United States had no idea what I was talking about.

So - I purchased several Cherry Mash candy bars; ate a few myself; and mailed the rest to everyone in the adoption group who wanted to try one.

How about you? Have you ever heard of the third oldest candy bar in the United States?

Have you ever tasted the nostalgic goodness of a Cherry Mash?

There's even a Cherry Mash Song!

LINK: http://cherrymash.com/retro-candy/cherry-mash-song/

This special song is written by Cherry Mash fan, Jim Salestrom, an Emmy-award-winning singer/songwriter.

The Chase Candy Company has been making fine candies since 1876, including the world-famous Cherry Mash, the third-oldest candy bar in the country.

The family operated candy factory is located in historic St. Joseph, Missouri ― home to another American legend, outlaw Jesse James.

Chase still uses time-tested recipes and the finest, freshest ingredients to make candy the old-fashioned way. They have, however, upgraded equipment, and they are capable of making 72,000 Cherry Mash candy bars in a day. They use more than 15 tons of crushed maraschino cherries each year.

Check out how they make up to 72,000 Cherry Mash candy bars each day.
