Time to think

Let's complete the weekend with some brain teasers. I think we all need a few smiles to prepare for the days ahead.

1) I have forests but no trees.

I have lakes but no water.

I have roads but no cars.

What am I?

2) Which seven-letter word contains dozens of letters?

3) Arnold Schwarzenegger has a big one.

Michael J. Fox has a small one.

The pope doesn't use his at all.

Clinton uses his all the time.

What is it?

4) You use a knife to slice my head, and weep

beside me when I'm dead.

What am I?

5) What can run but never walks,

has a mouth but never talks,

has a head but never weeps,

has a bed, but never sleeps?

6) A man leaves home and make three left turns,
only to return home facing two men wearing masks.
Who are these two men?

Have a great day everyone!

One summer in the 1980s, I was fortunate to attend college in Talloires, France. It is on Lac Annecy in the Haute-Savoie (French Alps). It is by far the most beautiful place I have ever been. I'd like to take you on a tour.

This photo (yes, it's a photograph!!) is from a Talloires facebook group I follow. The light there is incredible, very similar to the light of Cape Cod.

The whole region is incredibly beautiful.

The school itself is located in a 1000 year-old Priory.

I lived in Veyrier du Lac, which was a quick bus ride from Talloires. Here are some photos from that part of the lake. The family I stayed with lives somewhere in this photo.

The largest city of the Haute-Savoie is Annecy. It's a quaint city, with three canals and the Thiou River running through it.

I would love to go back there one day.

A Killtle Humor

Since we haven't seen many kilted fellas around here lately, I thought it would be fun to see some kilted animals. Who would have known that the internet was full of them!
