And the year will be done. That doesn't sound too bad. But being done with the ber months will sound even better. This is another cloudy dull day here. My countdown for the auction is even closer. It is Friday. Today will just...

clrumfelt The her months,. I like that. It's the "brrr" months in my case. I'm a southern gal spending some time in the northeast this season. It's a new experience for me as I've never done much traveling in the past.

clrumfelt I agree. Old age is not for sissies. Your sisters are lucky to have you checking in on them. Hopefully your sister's daughter will start checking more often to make sure her mom is okay.

Carved emu eggs at our house-sit

Judy Evans @JudyEv (342060) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Aug 22

Two of the interesting items in our house-sit were these carved emu eggs. Some are a brighter green but they do fade over time. When I was a child, we had a pet emu once and I can remember Mum’s excitement when we first found an...

Who You Talkin' To Willis!

What is religion to you?

Aparna Sen @Dreamerby (5851) • Calcutta, India 15 Aug 22

Religion to me is the beacon of hope in a world of betrayal, hatred and self-loath. We have stopped loving ourselves as who we are. But, religion has also caused mass-murders, historically known as 'ethnic cleansing'! But that's...
