Never would I have thought I would start writing at 73 years of age. I have thoroughly enjoyed my voyage into the written spirituality of poetry and am thankful for the opportunity.  In my seven years here I have met many new and wonderful persons. Having them accept me as a friend has been a moving experience.

Solve the following riddle.  Please post and simply say "I got it". Do not tell how you arrived at the answer.. The riddle is this: You only have a 5 gal jug and a 3 gal jug.  You have plenty of running water.  You wish to "measure" exactly 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.  How is it done.  I will post the answer in another blog.
