WARNING: Don't Boil Corn Today







When I was a teenager, my grandmother, who lived with us (and was my 2nd mom and mentor), was preparing corn on the cob. You know, boiling water and all that. Can't/cain't even guess how many times in her life that she had done that. But this happened to be Friday the 13th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somehow, the pot got tipped and the contents, in full boil, dumped onto her foot.

Have a safe day!

Dona Nobis Pacem





PEACE
...when the kids have gone to bed and the house is quiet.
...when, at daybreak, you realize that it is a weekend and you can go back to sleep.
...when you finally remember the name, or song, or whatever, that has been eluding you.
...when you gaze upon a sleeping face.
...when the only sound heard is the wind thru the grass and trees.
...when you clasp a comforting hand.



...when you witness a dynamic sunrise or sunset.
...when you bow your head in prayer or meditation.

...when the weapons are silent.

On Golden Puddle







For a few years now, I have been fortunate enough to observe a pair of mallards take residence at a near by pond. Really, more of a puddle. Couldn't be much more than 100' x 75'. A veritable lake by some standards(another story)! Anyway, these two free-flying fowls have their choice of numerous bodies of water around here, from the mighty Ohio River to Goose Creek, from Lake Cumberland to Long Run Lake. Yet, as I saw again this morning, they are back, and seemed to be quite content as they zeroed in for a landing on their Golden Puddle.

Lesbians Don't Need Nothing








You know, historically, in numbers, there's power. Well, just observing here, I have noticed that when "sisters" were needed (circa late '60s forward) "sisters" were there. Now, thanks to the strength of those people, today, we don't need nobody.
We are mainstream! We don't need no lesbian heros. We don't need no lesbian concerts. We don't need no lesbian bars. We don't need nothing,...but the cruises are nice.
