Wandering, A good year, Out of the mouths of ladies

1. A spark of recognition flashes across her face when she sees her husband.
2. Bittersweet excitement fills the air as both girls approach milestones in their school careers.
3. A hilarious combination: A bunch of ladies mostly over the age of 40, a glass or two of Sangria, and the game, Scattergories. Oh the things that pop into one's mind!

#1 has a bit of a story to tell over here.

I read your longer entry on #1 and was very touched by your willingness to get involved. You are a good neighbor and I thank you for stepping in to help.

"The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But who gets excited by a mere penny?...It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. what you see is what you get."
