"Life is short, break the rules, forgive sooner, love with true love, laugh without control and always keep smiling.

Maybe life is not the party that we were expecting, but in the mean time, we're here and we can still dance......"

Growing old is not for whimps.....(Jock Smith & Bette Davis )

Thats about the truth ! as ever Old Franny!!

One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who did not whine, nag or bitch. (That would be me...)

But that was a long time ago and it was just that one day.

HA~~~HA~~~ HA~~~~~ HA Made you smile didn't I!
Thanks to my sister Marie!!! Fran

LIFE THOUGHTS BY DUCKY

Marriage changes passion. Suddenly you're in bed with a relative.
I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with 'Guess' on it. So I said 'Implants?' She hit me.
How come we choose from just two people to run for President and over fifty for Miss America?
I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose fitting clothing. If I HAD any loose fitting clothing, I wouldn't have signed up in the first place!
When I was young we used to go 'skinny dipping,' now I just 'chunky dunk.'
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over? AMEN, AMEN !!
Why is it that our children can't read a Bible in school, but they can in prison?
Wouldn't you know it....Brain cells come, and brain cells go, but FAT cells live forever.
Why do I have to swear on the Bible in court when the Ten Commandments cannot be displayed outside?
Bumper sticker of the year: 'If you can read this, thank a teacher -and, since it's in English, thank a soldier'


And remember: life is like a roll of toilet paper.
The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
love it don't you!!

A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day,

drinking iced tea and visiting with her Mother.

As they talked about life, about marriage, about the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance upon her daughter

'Don't forget your Sisters,' she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. 'They'll be more important as you get older.

No matter how much you love your husband, no matter how much you love the children you may have, you are still going to need Sisters.

Remember to go places with them now and then; do things with them.'

'Remember that 'Sisters' means ALL the women.... your girlfriends, your daughters, and all your other women relatives too..

'You'll need other women. Women always do.'

What a funny piece of advice!' the young woman thought. Haven't I just gotten married Haven't I just joined the couple-world?

I'm now a married woman, for goodness sake!

A grownup! Surely my husband and the family we may start will be all I need to make my life worthwhile!'

But she listened to her Mother. She kept contact with her Sisters and made more women friends each year.

As the years tumbled by, one after another, she gradually came to understand that her Mom really knew what she was talking about.

As time and nature work their changes and their mysteries upon a woman,

Sisters are the mainstays of her life.

After more than 50 years of living in this world here is what I've learned:

THIS SAYS IT ALL:

Time passes..

Life happens..>>

Distance separates.>>

Children grow up.>>

Jobs come and go.>>

Love waxes and wanes.>>

Men don't do what they're supposed to do.>>

Hearts break.>>

Parents die.>>

Colleagues forget favors.>>

Careers end.>>

BUT.......... Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you.. A girl friend is never farther away than needing her can reach.

When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.. Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you...

Or come in and carry you out.

Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers, Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended family, all bless our life!

The world wouldn't be the same without women, and neither would I.

When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead.

Nor did we know how much we would need each other.

Every day, we need each other still.

Pass this on to all the women who help make your life meaningful.

I just did. Short and very sweet:

There are more than twenty angels in this world.>>

Ten are peacefully sleeping on clouds.

Nine are playing.

And one is reading her email at this moment.>>>

Send this message your friends

If you get replies, someone you love will surprise you.>>>

Happy days! Don't break this; it's working

I am thinking these are all true! I think you are also, tell your sisters you love them, any way you can,, and while you can! Fran
