What say you folks???

Swiss Cowbells
Not too many moments ago there was a near disaster in our home. Mrs. RF and I nearly collided at the doorway between our kitchen and Dining room. The result may have been a bending of noses, a scuffing of toes and worst of all the serious loss of a cup of coffee being splashed about. Mrs. RF's brakes sqeaked and I hurridly applied my own as we narrowly avoided danger.

Mrs. RF said: "Max wears a collar with various attachments that jangle as he moves around the house, maybe we should do the same."

I said: "Maybe we should wear anklets with small bells on them."

Mrs. RF said: "Hmmm, maybe we should."

What say you folks? What ideas do you offer us?

An idea for inventors?

Most everyone who knows my wife realizes she is one of the most well organized people on the planet. It may surprise you all to know that this very morning after getting all ready for the day I heard her mumbling sort of to herself as she moved semi-aimlessly through the house how she really needed a beeper on her coffee cup... ...it seems she couldn't quite recall just where she had put it down---Ol' Lanche let forth a loud snort! 8~)

Sometimes I am at a loss for words...

Very recently my wife of nigh on to 35 years and I were traveling in the car from New Hampshire to Georgia. At some point along the way, as I was driving southward along Interstate 81, I apparently made some move or other that she would not have done inducing her to comment that I am the reason she has white hair. My memory still being somewhat accurate moved me to remind her that she had mentioned to me in the past that she had started getting white hair as early as 16 years of age. She with great aplomb promptly informed me that she started getting all the white hair in anticipation of being married to me! ...an event that took place some 13 odd years later... (sigh)
