Wit & Wisdom from my Journey through Womanhood
Two weeks ago when my friend and I were at library story time we looked at the craft table and groaned. We did. Literally groaned. [Literally in two ways since we were at the library. snicker] Our children shouted with joy. They got to use paint! Yoy.

My mom always let me pick flowers. There was a little jar under the sink that I could use for dandelion, buttercup, and clover bouquets.

We still celebrate Valentine’s Day. We’ll go out together on that day, and I’ll tell you more about that later.
