HEADING HOME

Hey boy!

Don't you know the old Chinese Proverb says;

"A hundred men may make an encampment,

but it takes a woman to make a home."

HOW TO IDENTIFY PEOPLE

Back when I was a kid, it was simple to identify people.

It usually only took a glance.  Or if in doubt, like one

 kid said, "Run around front and look."

But now days, O my.  Is it a him, her or an it.

But after watching for a few years I think I have

found out how to tell the difference.

Look under the sunglasses.

If the person has bright red lips, it is most likely a female.

Or, if in under the sunglasses, it has a beard, it is most

likely a male.

This is not an infallible method.  But I have found it to

to be pretty reliable most of the time.

You know even better than I do, that for thousands

 and thousands of years people got by without

 sunglasses just fine.  But then they found out that

 sunglasses made them look "COOL".  So they have

them on if they need them or not, to look cool,

day or night. 

The key is, look down below the sunglasses.



WOMAN IN TRAINING

That is one of the great granddaughters.

One of her grandfathers (Not this one) calls her,

"A woman in training."

He is correct.  I assume that is because two of 

her grand mothers spend a lot of time teaching 

her to, shop and shop and shop.

And,

generally at someone else's expense.

It is hard to believe, but there is more to a 

woman than shopping. In about two more 

winters I will be eighty years old - the Lord 

willing.  And as slow as I am to learn, I've 

learned that a woman also has to have a 

man to boss around.

It's just something about a woman's nature.  

She has to have a man to correct and direct.  

[See guys, we are needed.] I think it's because 

she has the need to have control over 

something more powerful than her self. 

Like a man needs a monster truck.  Or to be 

a lion trainer, or conquer a mountain.

Well, this granddaughter is only ten years old.  

So she has no husband or boyfriend to boss 

around. That's where I come in.  I let her 

practice bossing on me. 

She wanted a turtle. So, it was grandpa's 

job to get one.  (The one on the right.)

It was put in the back yard by the pond.  

The next day the one on the left come out 

of a field to join it. 

"Grandpa get that turtle from across the 

fence.""Grandpa fix a place to keep my 

turtles.""Grandpa........." "Grandpa......."

"Grandpa.....".

Just love it.  I'm needed in the training of a 

woman.
