My mother in law told me at my wedding shower that if dinner was going to be late just make sure the table was set and the kettle was boiling and no one would even comment about the lateness of it.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07183448760614051130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-15661048103044564032013-03-05T07:25:24.647-05:002013-03-05T07:25:24.647-05:00Thank you all!!!

"The only thing in life that doesn't change is that all things change..." most of us hate change and fight it hard when we really need to embrace change, as it is the only way we will ever survive, adapt and change...to meet every situation. and the advice I gave my children, and it is absolutely true, "Find out what you enjoy doing and then go find a way to make a living at it, and you will be happiest, don't worry about the money, you won't need as much if your happy. Life is too short to make a living at work you hate and if you enjoy it, it's really not work, is it?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-20953163113007465792013-03-04T11:45:43.750-05:002013-03-04T11:45:43.750-05:00My maternal grandpa farmed all his life and knew a...My maternal grandpa farmed all his life and knew a LOT about weather, farming, conditions in general, politics, and life.<br /><br />"People tend to the politicians they deserve."<br /><br />"In times of drought, all signs fail."<br /><br />"Treat your neighbor like your family.
