Good morning Sis I'm so glad we didn't get snow just rain yesterday. The roads were a mess and I decided to bring the back roads home and almost hit a deer. Hugs Jcarroll good morning I like Mark Twain and have some of Will Rigers too. Have to watch his as some are too political. Have a great day.
Good morning, Pat. Your cooler weather is coming my way. But we had two beautiful days. Mark Twain was quite a character. DO you know how he got his pen name of Mark Twain? As a youth he worked on the river boats on the Mississippi River. They would be constantly checking the depth of the water so they wouldn't get hung up on a sand bar.. The sounder would call out, mark and then the depth in fathoms, Mark, twain was two fathoms deep, about 12 feet. Sam Clemens liked the sound of it and took it for his pen name. His grave stone (also in Elmira, New York (where I grew up) is two fathoms tall.
Hi Sissy, the best you can do, spread your friends. lol. I like the things this man said. It was 10:00 AM and the clouds came. And now we have snow. Untill now not much and I hope it will stop soon. Did you already have your coffee? I just finished mine. hug
