D.A.R.E.
By Joy Lynn Clark December 18, 2021 D.A.R.E. stands for drug abuse resistance education. This is another social program that I was involved with in my youth. My favorite neighborhood police officer, Officer friendly stopped by our elementary school class to teach us about different types of drugs and their negative affects. Sometimes he would relate a story or two about his Encounters with drug offenders. I was fascinated and I really liked Officer friendly.

The Soaps
By Joy Lynn Clark December 10, 2021 Since I was a child I followed the soap operas. Grandma always had them on in the afternoons. Grandma’s TV would be on anytime we were inside.

Up and down the basement steps. Sometimes I would look at the, cheap, old, Bach Bust by the piano that needed a tune. Grandma’s not really into cheap things but, we ain’t rich folks. On the TV, soaps.…
