I searched and read about your Cape Lookout area..I enjoyed the search and did a bit of beach dreaming.

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day I went downtown and into a shop. I was only there for about 5 minutes, and when I came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. I said to him, ‘Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break’? He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a ‘Nazi.’ He glared at me and wrote another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a ‘doughnut eating Gestapo.’ He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he wrote a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused him the more tickets he wrote. Personally, I didn’t care. I came downtown on the bus, and the car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said, ‘Obama in ‘08 .’ I try to have a little fun each day now that I’m retired. It’s important to my health.

Love that poem, NnB! Have you been in my house?! LOL I think I have more books than the library! And I swear they move/multiply when I’m not looking!

My hubby looks at me and says—didn’t you already read that?
Well...yeah.
How many times have you read that particular book?
Well... Most times I jsut say 5 or 6. He’d have a stroke if I told him how many times I’d really read “that” one!

Every couple of weeks I clean out his den and put all my books back on the shelf/closet. They—somehow—wind up back in his den, and the process starts all over!

Beautiful area! Glad you enjoyed your “beach” trip! Too many tourists and yankees now. Used to be they left when it got cool—now they stay year round.

[Billie]

Ain't she cute! I knew someone would post that one, and you framed it so very well!

I had saved the glitter one LOL

It's possible that we're in the same house. You could be on the other side of that pile of books over there ...

I think I need more shelves for books.

(Parenthetical note: I'm heading out of town for a week. I'll post again when I can.)

[MEG33]

LOL!

[gardengirl]

I hear you. If the Three Stooges/Laurel and Hardy come on—my kids are gone. Sigh.

[gardengirl]

**You could be on the other side of that pile of books over there ...**

Heeelllooo. Can you hear me now? LOL

Every time I mention more shelves...my crowd vetoes that and tells me to get rid of some of my books. Sacrilege!

[MEG33]

She sparkles!
I had mine in my files for ages and it remains a favorite.
