School days
I came across some school pictures and it seems that the more recent photos seem less contrived than the older ones.
Starting with the most recent, our Paul looks very cheeky:
Billy opted for a cheesy smile:
Peter's photo is from the days of sitting at the desk:
As is my sister's, who's roughly the same age as Peter.
Finally, this lad was also photographed at the desk, but his smile tells me his thoughts were far less formal than his pose...
He looks strangely familiar... any guesses?

Going to bed
I'm a bit under the weather today, so here's a photo of a bed, where I'll be heading soon. Alas, my bed is not as spectacular as this one...

Phyllis Diller
Mrsgunka sent us a bunch of quotes by Phyllis Diller. They're very funny! Thank you, MrsG.
Housework can't kill you, but why take a chance?
***
Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.
***
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
***
The reason women don't play football is because 11 of them would never wear the same outfit in public.
***
Best way to get rid of kitchen odours: Eat out.
***
A bachelor is a guy who never made the same mistake once.
***
Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight.
***
I want my children to have all the things I couldn't afford. Then I want to move in with them.
***
Aim high, and you won't shoot your foot off.
***
Any time three New Yorkers get into a cab without an argument, a bank has just been robbed.
***
We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.
***
Burt Reynolds once asked me out. I was in his room.
***
If it weren't for baseball, many kids wouldn't know what a millionaire looked like.
***
You know you're old if your walker has an airbag.
***
I'm eighteen years behind in my ironing.
***
What I don't like about office Christmas parties is looking for a job the next day.
***
The only time I ever enjoyed ironing was the day I accidentally got gin in the steam iron.
***
Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age - as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight.
***
I buried a lot of my ironing in the back yard.
***
His finest hour lasted a minute and a half.
***
My photographs don't do me justice - they just look like me.
***
There's so little money in my bank account, my scenic checks show a ghetto.
***
I admit, I have a tremendous sex drive. My boyfriend lives forty miles away.
***
My cooking is so bad my kids thought Thanksgiving was to commemorate Pearl Harbor.
***
My mother-in-law had a pain beneath her left breast. Turned out to be a trick knee.
***
Tranquilizers work only if you follow the advice on the bottle - keep away from children.
***
I asked the waiter, 'Is this milk fresh?' He said, 'Lady, three hours ago it was grass.'
***
You know you're old if they have discontinued your blood type.
***
It's a good thing that beauty is only skin deep, or I'd be rotten to the core.
***
There's a new medical crisis. Doctors are reporting that many men are having allergic reactions to latex condoms. They say they cause severe swelling. So what's the problem?

Busy day
We had a busy day today. Took all our recycling bits to the dump, bought (more) concrete blocks to build a barbecue and I've been slaving over a hot stove, making boeuf Bourguignon. It smells divine!
The place where we buy building materials is opposite the vet's surgery, so we waved wildly on behalf of a certain Kansan... [I've just found out that TW is having a sad day. Big hugs from us, TW.]
As I'm late posting, here's a picture of a peaceful garden, perfect on this sunny day (for a change). It's called "Mon Jardin," by Edouard Manet.
