Valentine's
Gifts
By Mona Lease
Hi, all!! As I write this - it's the eve of Valentine's Day. I've
spoken with those who are sad...those who are anxious. We've all been
listening to the hype about love - buy the red roses...buy the
chocolates...buy, buy, buy. So, my gift to you readers is the
following. There is something to make you laugh, something to learn,
and something to consider. Enjoy!
"Cleaning and scrubbing can wait 'til tomorrow. For babes grow up,
we've learned to our sorrow. So quiet down cobwebs and dust go to
sleep. I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep." - Incredible
"So I'm sitting on the sofa with my son watching tv and he hears he got
a text on his phone that he left in the kitchen. So he goes to get his
phone and it's a text from me, "please bring the chips and a Diet Pepsi
on your way back." - Oldtimers
