It must
have been a riot in the heavens last week with the Burns and Allen reunion and
the arrival of Minnie Pearl. Talk about playing to a packed house!

Change
the subject … During our oilfield days while we were working in Montana, we
were driving along the interstate near Billings. There was this huge
three-story brick building nearby with letters big
enough to read from the highway. It said, "Payback is a bitch." Someone else
painted, "So is Marilyn."

- A wonderful thing is
happening. Not only am I thinking, I have a lot of you thinking, too. Had a
phone call the other day and the caller shared with
me a story about sticking a finger into a cow pie then licking a different
finger to convince the little friends (glad I wasn’t one of them!!!) to follow
suit!

- So, my doctor says I
have to change my eating habits. I did. I quit. No, that wasn’t exactly what
the doctor meant … "You have to eat a little, just change a few things." Oh, I
got it, I’ll change a few things. My beautiful candy dish that held wonderful
things like after-dinner mints, cherry mountains, candy kisses and jelly beans
now holds Tums EX, Pepto Bismal tablets, X-lax and Theragram M. It just isn’t
the same, but sometimes a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do!

- Remember the singing
and dancing flowers from a few weeks back? Well, they ain’t dancin’ and singin’
no more. Enough already! When I checked on them this morning it was truly a
sad sight. They’ve had all the rain they can stand. My little yellow ones
wanted their jackets, the red ones wanted their riding hoods, my baby’s breath
couldn’t breathe, the petunias couldn’t carry a tune and the peonies were so
cold they couldn’t … well, you get the idea.

- I love this story. Two
little girls and one boy, ages two and three, were playing in
a little swimming pool, or whatever, and in the course of being wiped
dry for dressing the little boy asked where one of the little girls’ "bibber"
was. Quick-thinking Mom say, "God only gives bibbers to little boys. He gives
brains to little girls."

- Sometimes when you run
into someone and they ask, "How are you?", do you ever wonder compared to
what? I do, every time.
