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.

Hahaha! YES! I almost got out the Sparklets jugs and the garden hose for a practical analysis but didn't actually have to go that far to figure it out. Thanks for the fun challenge, Charles. MORE, please...!

Well, the most stupid one I ever heard came from my Dad, and yes I bit. Winkin and Blinkin and pinch me tight were walking across the bridge. Winkin and Blinkin fell in the water. Who was left. You guessed it-I got pinched.
