From My Niece, Shari, of VA -
04/30/08 - "Scotland performance":
One of the things I liked about Edinburgh were the street performers. Actually, I liked almost everything, but the wind.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh
Thanks, Shari!
Scotland has always been very near the top of my Places I'd Like to Visit list!
From Sylvia Midgett ('70) of VA -
04/30/07 - "moms are extra-ordinary":
Mom then washed her face with 3 in
1 cleanser, put on her Night solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed
and flossed her teeth and filed her nails.
Dad called out, 'I thought you were going to bed.'
'I'm on my way,' she said.
She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then made
sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on.
She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and
TV's, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a
brief conversation with the one up still doing homework.
In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day,
straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6 most
important things to do list She said her prayers, and visualized the
accomplishme nt of her goals.
About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in
particular. 'I'm going to bed.'
And he did...without another thought.
Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer...?
CAUSE WE ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL..... (and we can't die sooner, we
still have things to do!!!!)
Thanks so much, Sylvia!
It does seem to have a ring to it - even for me, and I'm a slacker of the first
degree!
From Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65) of FL -
04/30/07 - "Dog, Cat, Rat Video":
I don't usually send internet stuff, but you have to see this one. It is absolutely amazing!! He is homeless in Santa Barbara. He works State Street every week for donations. The animals are pretty well fed and mellow. The man who owns them rigged a harness up for his cat so she wouldn't have to walk so much. At some juncture, the rat came along, and no one wanted to eat anyone else, so the rat started riding with the cat and often, on the cat.

WOWZERONI!!!
Thanks, Gloria!
To
quote a dear friend of mine, "That's amazing!"
