I’m wondering how to lug my piano outdoors to sit in the sun for two or three days. I guess I will just have to settle for yellowing piano keys.

I liked how Catherine had no qualms about calling Mother Shipton a “prophetess.” Sure, the prophecy didn’t actually come to pass, but still, she’s referred to as a prophetess. Cool.

My great-grandparents were raising their babies in 1918 and so it was interesting for me to read the question from the discouraged young mother.

Thanks!

Don’t worry Bruce, there is some controversy over the 1881 date. Judge for yourself:

To have a clean, clear complexion, one must live perfectly.

Notice, to all those teens who suffer from acne: your secret is out!

As to Kearney/Kearny–I spent a lovely night (hah!) earlier this month in Kearney, Nebraska.

But if I were to drive a few miles into New Jersey (but who would want to do that, other than to get through to the other side as quickly as possible?), I would come very soon to Kearny.

It’s just too bad that after solving the spelling puzzle, she didn’t clarify the pronunciation of potato. : )

I’ve never heard of Mother Shipton. Sounds interesting. Too bad I missed the end of the world.

L.A. must be asking about playing cards. Good thing Pit is allowed, because that undoubtedly allows the playing of another family favorite, Dutch Blitz. : )
