Longtime friends Bill Brockett. left, and Bob Dodson speak to each other. Notice they are smiling easily and honestly. Of course, they are military buddies as well as community helpers.
Okay, so this is for fun. But notice, this face on the model belonging to the Atlanta District Texas Department of Transportation is not smiling. Interesting but not very attractive. Puzzling maybe.
Downtown store owner Ted Brabham doesn’t need much to put on his engaging face. In fact, he’s an antique shop owner and so knows quality when he sees it. Old time quality makes him smile.
Pastor Eddie Mathews is one of the oldest continuous pastors of a church in Cass County. For almost 40 years he’s led the St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church. He probably could not make a frown.
The mayor of Atlanta (center, third from left) James Brooks has more than a smile. He has a big grin that’s good for politics. He’s happy at the moment to be helping the Atlanta Legionnaires from the J. B. Manning Post 258.
Micah McKinney of Cass carves and paints wooden faces, in particular those that might go on a totem pole. So he himself smiles big because he’s more than doubly happy.
Those who know Danny Bosler of Linden also knows he is good about making other things shine since he is an automotive paint and body shop professional. So he sparkles when he smiles.

Faces are interesting, especially smiling ones. And lately everyone has been getting a lot of practice where smiling faces are concerned. How’s that, you ask?
“Selfies” is the answer. Everyone takes a selfie these days because that’s when everyone is smiling. So we get a lot of practice.
And it’s hard to disagree with.
Smiles are forever interesting.
“What did you do to result in putting that smile on your face,” everyone wants to ask.
And do you know the prefect, unforgettable compliment?
Just tell someone if they ask, “What is the first thing you noticed about me?”
“I noticed your smile.”
That is enough to last a lifetime.
