The Monkey's Disgrace

Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree

Discussing things as they are said to be

Said one to the others, "Now listen, you two,

there's a rumor around that can't be true

"That man descended from our noble race

"The very idea is a great disgrace.

"No monkey has ever deserted his wife

"Starved her babies and ruined her life

"And you've never known a mother monk

"To leave her babies with others to bunk

"Or pass from one on to another

"Till they scarcely knew who is their mother.

"Here's another thing a monkey won't do

"Go out at night and get on a stew

"Or use a gun or club or knife

"To take some other monkey's life

"Yes, man descended, the ornery cuss

"But, brother, he didn't descend from us."

Jumping off the merry-go-round

This ole merry-go-round has not seen use in alot of years. Great old piece that would be wonderful to restore. This week has been an endless whirl of activities and demands. Sometimes it feels like an out of control merry-go-round, spinning in circles and taking me nowhere fast. Then I remembered that I don't have to stay on the merry-go-round. I can step off, even if it is moving fast. The property where this merry-go-round is located should close and go to a new buyer today. The sale itself has been a ride! Very frustrating with alot of ups and downs. I went up over my noon hour and sat on the merry-go-round, praying that today I get to step off and start in another direction.

Make Home Cozy

Home is where you nurture your soul and rest your body. That's why your home should be a simple refuge away from a busy world. A cozy home definitely offers shelter from the storms of life. The tour was great fun and the ladies were amazed when they saw the inside. Simple details, like a comfortable handmade twig chair and grandma's wool braided rug make our home cozy and welcoming. It is a place we want to come home to. We have so much sweat equity in this place I often wonder, could I leave it and start again? Yes. The twig chair and wool rug would just go with us and make the next place home. This time I would have ALOT less "stuff". Cozy but simple.

The Rock house

Could this be it? Rock and timber. Rough inside. 5 acres of timber. Out in the "boonies" and on a "dead end" road. Now that is an interesting word phrase. Dead end....an end without an exit; a situation or course of action that leads to nothing further. hmmmm We aren't looking at this as a "dead end" but rather a new beginning. Possibly a new adventure even. Most people would look at this and see work. LaVern and I see possibilities. I need to be heading home. A local club group is coming by tonight to tour our house. They will all be so surprised as it is not what they imagine inside! I love it when that happens! Later....
