I would disagree with that. It is just perfect as it is.
Lovely scene!

To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds
To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon.
To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,
The innocence of a child's eyes and the beauty of an aging hand,
for it is through their teachings we learn to love.
To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us.
When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.
To believe is to know we are not alone,
that life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.

And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.

You would question the wisdom of a figment? lol
A gentle reminder in the new year 2002 that the most precious things in life cannot be bought.
You're so right, Bunny. Thanks for sharing such a nice post #113.
And here is the Navy prescription, hehehe.
That's what makes the Wolf so fascinating, their eyes!
Since you're a figment of my imagination I can question anything. I can also make you go away. Poof! LOL!
"Hmmmm," he wonders, "How am I gonna get more dough?" Then he gets an idea. He calls his father.
"Dad," he says, "you won't believe the wonders that modern education are coming up with! Why, they actually have a program here that will teach Fido how to talk!"
"That's absolutely amazing!" his father says. "How do I get him in that program?"
"Just send him down here with $1000," the boy says. I'll get him into the course."
So, his father sends the dog and the $1000. About 2/3 way through the semester, the money runs out. The boy call his father again.
"So how's Fido doing, son?" his father asks.
"Awesome, dad, he's talking up a storm," he says, "but you just won't believe this--they've had such good results with this program, that they've implemented a new one to teach the animals how to READ!"
"READ!?" says his father, "No kidding! What do I have to do to get him in that program?"
"Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class." ...And his father sends the money.
At the end of the semester, the boy has a problem. When he gets home, his father will find out that the dog can neither talk nor read. So he shoots the dog. When he gets home, his father is all excited.
"Where's Fido? I just can't wait to hear him talk and listen to him read something!"
"Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim news. This morning, when I got out of the shower, Fido was in the living room kicking back in the recliner, reading the morning paper,like he usually does. Then he turned to me and asked, 'So, is your daddy still messin' around with that little redhead who lives on Oak Street?'"
The father says, "Oh, no; I hope you SHOT that lyin' son of a gun"
"I sure did, Dad!"
"That's my boy!"
The guests co-operated and also continued as if nothing extraordinary was happening. After going all the way around the room, the children left.
As they disappeared out of sight, there was a moment of silence at the table, during which one child was heard to say, "You see, it IS vanishing cream!"
THAT was FUNNY!! I read it to my wife and she laughed! You don't know how rare that is, so it MUST have been FUNNY!!!
I have not forgotten the latest photos I've received for the Vet thread - just have not gotten enough to do another group yet! I noticed a post by RangerVetNam (thanks, Tonk for the heads up), and I've written a FR mail to him with my email addy to send the pic to me. What I don't know is if RangerVetNam and RangerX are the same people, because I have a photo of RangerX already - from Desert Storm though!
Gunnrmike and Lancey Howard - you've written me with promise to send photos - I haven't received your photos yet!
I will include Sandy and Trish whenever I do the next one.
