How smart…

…do you think you are. Here’s a riddle for you. ? What is greater than God and more evil than the devil? The rich need it and the poor have it. And if you eat it, you will die. ?? It was a very stormy day. The wind gusted up to seventy-five miles an hour. […]

April 15th is…

…one of my favorite days, as it is the day I was born.  Having it be the deadline for filing yearly taxes has worked in my favor, as people tend to remember it, just as I always remember a friend on Christmas, as that is his birthday, and another whose birthday is on St. Patrick’s […]

Just a memory…

 …A last minute Easter celebration.  In conversation on Thursday and Friday it came to all of our attention that no one had any plans for Sunday, and that lasted just long enough for all of us to say, then let’s get together.  Everyone contributed; appetizers, salad, meat, main dishes and of course the dreaded, but […]

I’m making a list…

…and checking it twice, to see what I might want to do today. One of the most talked about list is not your grocery list, or things to do today and the like, but I think the most talked about and interesting list is the bucket list. I got thinking of the meaning of the […]
