Things she told me to do to be livable.

ATTENTION YOU ALL, THINGS MY MOTHER IN LAW TAUGHT ME Arise when a visitor enters the room,Watch the flowers bloom. Never say anything if it is not good about people.Do go to church to see the steeple. To respect my elders,Give noone any belters. Get up early in the morning.She'd often give me a warning. To drive on the right side of the road to save a child's life. Serve warm coffee cake in the morning,To remember the day I was aborning. Serve strawberries for dessert in the summer,They keep you a good runner. To get out the house each day, if only to go to the grocers. Keep in touch with siblings.You need not do too many niblings. Pay the bills on time.Never to cheat people of a dime. To love my husband deeply,I'd talk him on an outing weekly. Take a vacation yearly,So he would love me dearly. Wash the dishes right, Then put them away out of sight. To keep the a neat house,You sweep it with a broom. Write and phone her often,Her heart it would soften. Watch the GOLDEN GIRLS ON TV, LAUGH AT YOURSELF INDEED.. Abide by these enough in your life,And you will have less strife.

Dear R.A.,

This is photo I put on mistake on Nana's tribute. I am fooling around at library to get photos on and wanted water lilies, but got this instead. I cannot get a kitten photo downloaded to Vet's on shannon's but did manage to do this for nana somehow, althugh not photo I chose I download it to her site and poem and I do like it afterall. Do you? Let me know what you think of my error soon? Lois C. Have to get better at downloading right photos and getting them into files. Just experimenting now, but this one will do.
