One Quiet Moment

Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life. ~Rachel Carson

Time for Giggling Wednesday!!


Avocados and milk
A wife asks her husband, “Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk and if they have avocados, get 6."

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.  The wife asks him, "Why did you buy 6 cartons of milk??"

He replied, "They had avocados."

Note:
If you're a woman, I'm sure you're going back to read it again? Men will get it the first time.  My work is done here!!

Water in the carburetor

Wife:  "There is trouble with the car. It has water in the carburetor."

Husband:  "Water in the carburetor?? That's ridiculous!"

Wife:  "I tell you the car has water in the carburetor."

Husband:  You don't even know what a carburetor is.  I'll check it out. Where's the car?"

Wife:  "In the pool."

HE MUST PAY

Husband wife had a tiff. Wife called up her Mom and said, "He fought with me again. I am coming to live with you."

Mom said, "No darling, he must pay for his mistake.  I am coming to live with you."

Today's Short Reading from the Bible 
From Genesis:  "And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth."
Then He made the earth round -- and He laughed
and laughed and laughed.

Some Wisdom and Some Beauty for the Day!

 
Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself – George Bernard Shaw.

 
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover – Mark Twain.

 
Love cures people -- both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
-- Karl A. Menninger


One of the secrets of life is to make stepping-stones out of stumbling blocks.
-- Jack Penn

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
