Ok…you know you have said it a time or two…. Karma always come back to crack me on the knuckles like an old piano teacher, but (insert name of choice) NEVER gets their due! Well, Love Monkeys….that’s just not true. The Universe does not play favorites. When your momma said, “What comes around, goes around.”Continue reading “The best seat for fireworks…”

Happy Holiday Snow Babies! Ok…snow babies up north! I am now in the land of no snow for the holidays. I have had to chuckle a little at these southern folk.

Ok..so what if life hands you a big bag of crap? What are you gonna make with that? There’s a perplexer…for sure. Nobody makes quaint little cliché’s about a bag of crap. No sir. In fact, if you are standing around with a big bag of crap in your hands, people are gonna steer clear of you.Continue reading “When life gives you lemons, make lemon-aid.”

Yeah, I’m thinking again. Dangerous pastime, no doubt. You all know the saying, “Blood is thicker than water.” I am sure that you understand the meaning of that phrase to be that family ties are always stronger than friendship ties.
