A PEANUTS LOVE STORY,
AND A BIG TREES, BIG PICTURE TALE

A PEANUTS LOVE STORY

When playwright Charles MacArthur first met Hollywood starlet Helen Hayes at a party . . . he was eating peanuts.

For Charles it was love at first sight.

He nervously offered the famous actress some of his peanuts.

As he put some peanuts into her hands he blurted out,

“I wish they were emeralds.”

After many years of being happily married,

Charles bought his wife Helen an emerald necklace as an anniversary gift.

When Charles handed it to his beloved wife,

she said,

“I wish they were peanuts.”

THE BIG PICTURE

“While vacationing in California , we were able to visit the Sequoia trees near Yosemite National Park .

One of the things that impressed me most was a cross-section of a tree that had lived for hundreds of years.

The rings of the tree were clearly visible, and some showed up more than others.

One series of rings was particularly dark.

It turned out that there was a forest fire one of those years, and that the growth
of the tree was effected for several growing seasons.

The growth of the tree was hindered for those seasons of trial by fire, but relative to the tree's total picture of life, it was only a minor discoloration on a sea of normal and healthy growth rings.”
