It was another joke that I had heard and turned into a limerick. And to you--the really great one who shares poetry with her grandchildren. You are the wise one!

Linda, I have been replying for hours (it seems) for the past several days). There is such wonder here. My heart is with you when I read your words. You too have a marvelous sense of humor and piercing intelligence. So, I think I know what you go through here or what you have been through. If you have empathy for people, this can be a challenge.

Well if I don't, the people I live with will have it for me. It's just incredible. You, sir are a master. I tried, but this is sometimes a little tough. I love writing in brief.

Age tends to ravage our minds a bit. Things can be dealt with only more slowly. However, the want to laugh and to be true to my inner self is as vibrant and strong as ever if not more so. May I thank you again for stopping by? Such a pleasure it is every time. You are someone it is easy to feel connected to!

Oh...hahaha! What's going on in Arizona? Just realized how I miss your humor, Duke. Careful with the cactus!

Just a little visit for the fun of it. I managed to escape unharmed as far as I can tell. The air in the valleys there is polluted with the smoke from fires and the exhaust from vehicles. It's really too bad. The pollution is harming the saguaros.

Kim, for you as well. It is great hearing from you. May you be blessed for the year to come and for a wonderful life. Each day is completely precious. It is so easy for me to lose sight of that when I have to deal with some narrow minded people. I happen to be in Arizona tonight, and I need to push those folks into a cactus.
