    Yvonne, still too cold to plant here; I expect a last snow storm for Blackberry Winter, second weekend in May.

    Vic, thanks for checking in; you're appreciated – as they say around here.

    LindaSue…fear in a bad suit…OH HOW TRUE! You're a wise woman.

    Debbie, you're welcome, preaching to the choir first -grin-.

    Tammy, that is a great quote; thanks for letting me know.

    Maggie, it's always easier to let anger come out…unfortunately.

    Gretchen, a lot of them were worth saving.

    Charlotte, Sunday is probably my favorite day of the week.

    Kathy, you're right.

    Leigh…lack of sleep and finances all make a person angry.

    Deanna, thank you!

    Mildred, glad I could help.

    Dori, love your quote and thanks for telling me. You bless me when you visit.

    So many folks seem so angry, and I doubt they even know why. Excellent reminders.

    Great post! I have been working really hard not to let my Ms Pearl come out in me and I have almost set a record and proud of it. haha
    These were great to read and so many good ones I can't pick a favorite.
    Really happy to see you at my site this morning. Yes Festival Hill is an amazing place to visit and I love helping them out now and then. The concerts they have are something I never thought living where I do that I could experience such gifted artist playing in a incredible gorgeous place.
    The grounds are just as pretty as the concert hall.
    Sorry I get cared away talking about it.
    Have a great week.
    Love
    Maggie

    One of our middle school teachers put a sign on his door that reads: Don't raise your voice, improve your argument (Desmond Tutu). I like that! 🙂 Have a great new week. Tammy
