Clever Words.

Today I have felt cold, in spite of adding a couple of layers

so I guess it will only get worse for the next few months.

All you lucky folks with warmer weather ahead!!! Appreciate.!!

We even got a little rain, badly needed around here.

Some clever uses of words.

PRESBYTERIAN: When you rearrange the letters: BEST IN PRAYER

ASTRONOMER: When you rearrange the letters: MOON STARER

DESPERATION: When you rearrange the letters: A ROPE ENDS IT

THE EYES: When you rearrange the letters: THEY SEE

GEORGE BUSH: When you rearrange the letters: HE BUGS GORE

THE MORSE CODE: When you re arrange the letters: HERE COME DOTS

YOu always post such fun, clever things. It is always interesting to come and visit.
How's life in Shepparton ?? We went through there a few weeks ago, on our way to Cobram. Must head your way again soon, and go to SPC and stock up on canned goods. Will be heading to Bonnie Doon at Easter.
Hope you are well.
Take care, Meow
