| If number 1 and 2 are true, try telling that to the perpetrators in Orlando or anywhere in Central Florida. |

O.k. for the State of Florida, we will scratch off number one and two, since the odds increase mightily that the perpetrators selection will be limited.
To me one of the Perks of being over 60 is having lived long enough to realize this... a word or phrase, joke or thought that provokes a good feeling or a smile or even a soul stirring tear generated by true admiration for the story the words convey... the unimportance is to who originated the words or gets the credit for the words. The reward is in the good feeling, the soul stirring tear of the words of a special story and especially the smile of even just one other human being. In short, the importance is not the credit, the importance is the result. Renae

Ah! That is beautiful. And we should all do that no matter what age we are. Like the song Live Like You Were Dieing (Tim McGraw). He wrote it when his dad was dieing of a brain tumor. (Remember Tug McGraw???-You gotta believe -Amazing Mets of 1969?) Your words kind of fit with that song Renae.

RANT WARNING
GO AWAY SNOW, GO AWAY SNOW,GO AWAY SNOW
We have about 16 inches and it is still snowing, we have dug out 4 times
 . Wind is 30-40 mph. so they are saying it is a blizard, it started at 6:00am yesterday and has not stopped. It is supposed to stop in a couple of hours but the wind is to continue. Every bone in my body is aching from shoveling snow.
END RANT

Rant on Picaninny, When I arose this morn. (Late in the morn of course) There was from 2 to 5 inches of snow, depending on where one walked. By sunset 75-90 percent was gone. If you must have snow, that's the kind to get.
Weep your heart out Uriah . |

Seadog... It will probablly be Wednesday before it gets warm enough to start melting. I think next winter we are going to try to go someplace warm for the winter if I can save enough money.

SAVE is a 4-letter word.
And I can't find that word in my dictionary.

Seadog... I think it must be in mine also because I never have much left over to save.

Aren't we all Renae. Just yesterday, we went from 50 plus to torrential downpour, hail storm, and then 50mph winds and rapid drop in temperatures. But in the middle of all of this, we had a double rainbow appear. What a beautiful site. We all went running for the cameras.
Come on SPRING!
