You could hardly see for all the snow,

Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go.

Pull a chair up to the TV set,

Good Night, David. Good Night, Chet.

From Pauline Mazariegos of Gettysburg, PA.

Thanks for Rita embellishing the Monkey Cake. Some put pecans on it, but Mom’s were always plain. It reminded me of sticky buns which I love, mess and all. By the way, I loved Harvey Wike’s poem on his grandkids that you published in the February issue.

In your January issue on the comments, questions and letter section Harvey Wike mentioned a car accident where your Dad (Franklin Wike, Sr.) was driving. I have more info from my sister Shirley, even though we were very young.

Exercise

One of our readers sent us this enthusiastic approach to exercise, so we thought wed pass it along:

Physical exercise is good for you. I know that I should do it daily, but my body doesn’t want me to do too much, so I have worked out this program:

Beating around the bush.

Jumping to conclusions.

Climbing the walls.

Swallowing my pride.

Dragging my heels.

Pushing my luck.

Plates as Garden Decor

If you do country auctions or flea markets, particularly if you occasionally buy box lots, you may always have on hand a stack or two of unrelated patterned porcelain or stoneware plates. A new use has developed for these pieces no matter if they have chips or cracks and are of different dimensions the plates can make attractive edging for flower gardens. Place them on end, partially buried in the garden soil or mulch.

1. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shake-speare. He was born in the 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couple.
