The dog lay
his head back down on the floor and closed his eyes again. What was that
that had awakened him?
Oh yes, it was a word he had dreamed. What was it? That was it “serendipitous”! Wasn’t that a wonderful thought! Why was it that sometimes the things that have the most effect on your life come when... (Click here to read the rest of the story...) |

What is it about people in your life? Your grandmother, my grandfather (when I was about six I was cutting the lawn, did a horrible job, he was watching, and said “Tom, is that a good job?” I said “no”, he said “if a job was worth doing at all, it was worth doing well”. I cut that lawn five times before we both agreed. And never forgot it.). And then there was Katie Cole! Who was Katie Cole? Isn’t that a question! (Click here to read the rest of the story...) |

Small Pieces of Glass, have you ever wondered about small pieces of glass? This piece is from the Champagne goblets used in a wedding 50 years ago, and they are still married, it was broken when their 5 year old son ran his small car into the buffet and it fell.

Dear Tink: Somebody forwarded this to me: “Help Wanted” was what the email had said. Although looking back on it, it probably said “Do You Need Help”. Looking back, that is what was true.

There is a legend, perhaps more the hint of a rumor. You know how legends and rumors are: like barely a whiff of smoke in a breezy autumn day. An idea of a thought.
