Beauty??

You know how physical attraction is perceived differently by everyone, for instance someone I may find handsome, someone else wouldn't throw a stick at and someone who thinks he has the most beautiful wife in the world may look like a junk yard dog to his buddy. I can understand these differences because I know everyone has different tastes in everything, hence the phrase, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" BUT, What if everyone looked alike?
I was thinking about this yesterday while at the zoo, watching the Warthogs. Just what would make a boy Warthog, (who is the ugliest animal, in my eye anyway) sidle up to a girl Warthog and ask her to the prom? I know in the animal kingdom, scent plays a large part in the mating game so maybe he doesn't necessarily view her as "pretty" so much as her "scent"
(translation: stink) moves him to thoughts of spring and romps in the mud hole. But with Warthogs and Rhinos they not only look alike but when lying down, greatly resemble large rocks. Perhaps many a warthog has been very embarrassed upon finding that the girl
he merely thought as shy when she didn't respond to his sweet whisperings was in fact a rock.
AND what is up with that name? Take two of the most unpleasant words in the English language, WART and HOG and put them together to name an animal that by any other name would smell as sweet (Or Not) Also Warthogs and Rhinos are the slowest moving animals
(in captivity, in the wild, they can work up some speed) it makes you wonder where baby Warthogs and Rhinos come from. So if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, how do they view us? As I was walking away from the warthog exhibit, I'm sure I heard one say to the other, "I just saw the ugliest thing, You'd never believe it!"

Wednesday Already?

Bob has only been to our pool a couple of times, if there are more than 2 people there
this is the way it looks to him!
Watch for my book at bookstores everywhere,
it is a how-to book for ventriloquists, it's called, "Dummies for Dummies"
Nora is coming in with Abby, Chris and Scarlett and Earl is coming in with Ethan and Logan and we are all going to the ZOO! We will miss Alcor, I hope his brother won't be too sad without him. Check in later.

I'm Back!

Thought for the day:

When speaking, use a grain of sugar
When listening, use a grain of salt.
Come back tomorrow, I will write more,
I promise!! 

"I go to prepare a place for you....."

Jesus promised us that he was going to prepare a place for us in his Father's house. Delores Stewart accepted her Lord's gracious invitation, August 7, 2006
She is deeply mourned by her family, she was married to the love of her life for over 45 years and they had 3 children, that she fiercely loved and they were blessed with 5 grandsons and a great-grandson this June. She was just recently diagnosed with cancer and her body gave out, Monday afternoon but her spirit and love live on. She had a love for and a natural touch for flowers, she loved nothing more than to be outside gardening and all the beautiful flowers around her home reflect that love and talent. She was also an avid bird watcher and had many bird houses and feeders that she diligently tended . Her love of home and family will be carried on through her loved ones that remain to remember her. So, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, dear friend, until we meet again........

Do-Overs!!

I don't do "Do-Overs" If I don't do something right the first time, chances are it's going to be worse if I have to do it all over again. I don't understand how some people will do a big project and look at it and say, "That's not quite right, I'll do it over." I don't have that kind of patience. I am thinking of this as I am sitting here copying pictures for a family album, If I do something that doesn't look good to me, my frustration level is going to be so high that the "Do-Over" may be worse. I remember 9th grade in Home-Ec (Yes, I took Home-Ec, but not voluntarily) we were to make aprons, yes aprons! a piece of cloth with ties! For goodness sake! Who could mess that up? Moi! that's who!
The teacher kept telling me to "Do It Over!" every time I made a crooked seam. I think this scarred me for life. Any work with needle and thread is a traumatic experience for me.
I will never have the Great American Novel published because the rewrites would kill me.
It's a good thing I don't believe in reincarnation, I'd hate to have God have to "Do me over".
