From the Desk of....Bill Ferguson

August, 2009

Dear Friends:

It's summertime—time to sit out on the porch and rock for a while. Rocking soothes the soul, comforts aching bones, and sets our thoughts adrift.  Ben Franklin extolled the merits of the rocking chair in the 1780s.  By the early 19th century, Americans were making many types of rockers.  Several U.S. presidents made history with their rocking chairs:  Abraham Lincoln was assassinated while he sat in a rocking chair, William McKinley planned his presidential campaign from his porch rocker, and John F. Kennedy brought the rocking chair to the Oval Office.  A porch with a rocker or two is a friendly and welcoming place.  But more than that, a rocking chair invites us to slow down, relax, and enjoy life.

With all due respects to The Old Farmer's Almanac, when the temperature is nearing 100 degrees, I prefer my wicker rocker near the air conditioner.

Blessings,
Bill
