Sit Up Straight

Husband, slunched over the computer keyboard, said, "I just read an article where 'sitting up straight' is the worst thing for your back."

Kick Stand

Yesterday, at a Sky Valley, Georgia overlook, Husband set the Harley down without the kickstand. Two folks nearby ran to help him lift the bike back up. (With a full tank of gas, that bike must weigh over 850 pounds.)

"They must have thought I was high to do something that retarded," he said. "I heard of it being done. I just didn't think I'd do it." Later, he added: "It was a learning experience. I will wager I don't do that again."

Quiet Moment

This morning in our backyard Nature gave me a white tailed rabbit, five small deer, and a bright red cardinal. The quiet moment roared.

Popovers

Very excited Daughter, 20 after the popovers were in the oven for 25 minutes: "Come look, Mommy. They've popped!"

Prom Date

Son, 18, called to say he got a date for the senior prom. "Don't you remember JoJo from BiLo? She texted me last night, but I didn't know she was going with me until this morning."

Cheddar Melt

Daughter, 20, just called to say she is coming home tomorrow and staying for Easter: "Can you make potato salad with macaroni... and peas? I'm starving. I think I'll go and get an Arby's Cheddar Melt."

Snow in April

This morning, Husband (with swollen right wrist) said: "It's pretty, but it's frickin April. In seven weeks it will be June. Enough is enough."
