We Recycle This is so very true, and I’m sure a great many of us remember this song and the movie it played in. Wanna take a guess? Win a gift from the WWDR Team? Send your guess to: admin@worldwidedrillingresource.com Yes, with the end of 2016 rapidly closing in on us, the holiday spirit has everyone running hither and yon. Why don’t we just slow down for a few moments and remember all those won- derful years gone by. Maybe the entire family (who most certainly lived much closer than we all do now) went to each other’s homes to sit by the fire, have some hot cocoa, popcorn, gaze at the tree, and remember about “those good old days”. Ironic isn’t it - there have been many other “good old days” or as is now said by our son Wade Charles Jones (Chuck to me), “Back in the day...” That always makes me smile as I’m not sure what it means. But it sounds to me like fond memories he has of “those good old days”. No matter how you say it, how you spend the end of 2016, be it on the beaches with “melting” Christmas trees, or perhaps in the mountains sledding, snow skiing, or snowball fighting, with or with- out friends or family - just remember those “good old days” fondly. I trust that will make you smile and feel good all over. I know it will me. There hasn’t been a person in my life I can honestly say, I didn’t learn something from, grow from their advice, and enjoy their company. From all of us here at WorldWide to each of you, may you have a Very Merry Christmas and Happy, as well as Prosperous, New Year. Aspecial thank-you to Delores Short for allowing us to continue running Harry’s articles throughout this year. He was a very dear part of DR WW andwill be sorelymissed. See you on the trail!
