So, I had the Maine Grands for a week. Today is my day off. Tomorrow I pick up VT*Grand for three days. I have Friday off. Then we have Grandson for the weekend. Monday I am going to have a ramble with a dear, gentle friend. Somewhere in there I am going to begin a baby quilt and next week I want to get back to volunteering at Bernie HQ. But Grands come First! :-D
Here is a dandy reading list with intriguing commentary; some authors and works I haven’t heard of, some I don’t like (although that doesn’t mean their work is not extremely good), some I would definitely choose, at least one on my bookshelf waiting to be read, and some others I must investigate. This list is a keeper. —Alan
Speaking of FB: I've come across this before, but it always gives me a hearty laugh.
The Lone Ranger and Tonto were camping in the wilderness. After they got their tent set up, both men fell sound asleep. Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says,"'Kemo Sabe, look towards sky, what you see?" The Lone Ranger replies, "I see millions of stars." "What that tell you?" asked Tonto.
The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says, "Astronomically-speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time-wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically,the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you,Tonto?"
"You dumber than buffalo... It mean someone stole tent."
Up with DEAN!
