A Thanksgiving story

You know sometimes, I wonder why it's the kids who have to suffer. I mean, what have they ever done to anybody?
This story isn't funny, or even fun, but it touched me anyway.




As ever,

What do you make of what she said?

Anyway, then I found these wonderful spoofs....
I couldn't resist!






Enjoy!!

As ever,

As ever, Enjoy!

Since we were telling stories about when we were very young....

Here's a story I found about a "magic moments" in our lives.
As you listen (and, I hope, enjoy), see if you can recognize when the guy is telling
the story, when he's commenting and when he is setting the scene (giving background).
Here's hoping you have as much fun with it as I did...






As ever,
He with the gray beard

Not much to offer this week, but....

Sorry , I couldn't resist!



Oh, and BTW, here are a few odd pictures. This is pavement art at its best!

This one the artist calls Baby food:














This is what it looks like from behind:












This one he calls Girl in a pool:

From one end:














and from the other:
