Here are the wise sayings of a seventh son of a seventh son. Collected here and contained together in this small book are over 150 of the most witty phrases and comments of my father, Val Hanson. Immediately recognizable to his entire family and known many of his friends as well, these "Val-isms" are sure to prompt you to chuckle or bring a smile to your face. Oftentimes humorous, yet thoughtful, these sagacious little quips are gleaned from a life of hard work and long days, fueled by real sweat and determination. Many of them are blunt reminders of an age that once was, a time when a man took pride in his work, when his word was his bond, and a handshake was all you needed to settle a contract.Times certainly have changed in our country since then, and undeniably not for the better. I invite you to take a stroll through the pages of this little book to feast your eyes upon a plethora of choice nuggets of wisdom which it contains. Feel free to scan through only a few of these thoughtful jewels at a time, but then allow their timeless insights to filter down into your heart in quiet contemplation. Decent people all across this great country are tired of the nefarious agendas which have been employed by unscrupulous forces determined to ruin our society, to drive the public mind-set toward "woke-ness." What was once called common sense, is no longer common today, and I for one feel like our culture desperately needs to return to a time of high morals and good standards, in short, to turn back to God. As the Bible so eloquently reminds us, we should avoid evil and think on all the things which are good and true and noble. And in its own simple way, this little book tries to help us do just that.
