Writer Gary Jennings said this: “Love and time, those are the only
two things in all the world and all of life, that cannot be bought,

.
My work and interests require me to spend probably an inordinate
amount of time in front of my computer. At least according to my
wife Bev.
.
She and I were talking one day about death and funerals and what to
do with each other’s remains. I asked. “What will you do with my
body? Burial? Cremation?”
.
She answered, “I think I’ll just have you stuffed and propped up in

.
His father also wrote about the fishing trip. His own diary on that Read More

TO HEAR GOD’S VOICE TURN DOWN THE WORLD’S VOLUME.
A young man approached the foreman of a logging crew and asked for a job.
“That depends,” replied the foreman. “Let’s see you fell this tree.” The young man stepped forward and skillfully felled a great tree. Impressed, the foreman exclaimed, “You can start Monday.”

Outdoor Pleasures
Having A Picnic
.
Dining outdoors is a tradition that spans many cultures and has withstood the test of time. A meal eaten under open sky in the company of loved ones is an occasion in its own right. The very character of picnics, by virtue of their bringing together so much that is pleasing to humanity, makes them a wonderful way to unwind from stress, reconnect with people and nature, and create new memories. There is something magical about picnicking. A blanket, a basket, and a landscape pleasing to the eye intensify the deliciousness of food and help us see the beauty of lazy afternoons spent in nature.
