A rose by any other name

I have just pruned my four rose bushes. Pruning perhaps implies that I know what I'm doing whereas in actual fact I don't. The bushes were getting very unkempt and needed tidying up. This has now been done. I know the centre of...

EllynB I must admit, I am not a selfie person. I never like the way I look in most pictures and I am not a good selfie taker either. Oh well, I guess this is why I don't have Instagram or the other account :-)

EllynB I love paper and pens and all things to write on. These are only a few book I use to note everything from novel ideas to journaling. There is a special creative bonus to writing vs typing. I hope you didn't lose anything in the coffee flood :-(

Why do we wait till in death to appreciate our Heroes?

Benjamin Nnebe @goodson_ben (70) • Abuja, Nigeria 9 Jun 16

Mohammed Ali was famously a person who could make a stage out of anything. Even his weigh-ins turned into acts worthy of Carnegie Hall. But on April 28, 1967, the U.S. government handed him the biggest stage of his life. -...

EllynB I think it has a lot to do with 'we don't appreciate what we have until it is gone.' He was famous generations ago and people lost touch with his achievements. I didn't know much about him until I watched the documentary about him days after his death. This is...

EllynB Wow,, that is confusing. You may want to simply give them road names and left, right directions. Can you find your home on map apps? It might help get them in the right area. I hope you find a solution, so your life can go on as usual. Best of luck to you :-)

EllynB A handwritten letter is gold to me. It means the writer took time to personally write from their heart. Now that our children are not learning cursive in school anymore, this will certainly be a long lost art. Save the letters, they may worth something in the...
