Greetings to all you bloggers out there,

Well that's a little corny. This is the oldest blogger on the line of bloggers in this family. I'll bet you can't guess who this is. Here is your clue. I joined the forks. Thanks to the Rimington mother and daughter team, I am now an official blogger. I was instructed that this was to be on line before bedtime.

Well, since I'm new at this I'll just leave you, for the night, with these two thoughts.

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it.
Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand.

Every obstacle presents and opportunity to improve one's condition.
Make It Happen
"You are never given a wish
without also
being given the power to make
it come true.
You may have to work for it,
however."
Richard Bach

Well, happy snoozing or if you read this tomorrow, have a happy sunshiny day!
