I am the author of the Wedding Plate Poem:
This plate is meant to be broken
by either of you,
When you are angry at the other.
But, there is only this one plate
and there are two of you.
So, if you always respect and
are kind to each other...
This plate could hold the cake
for your
Golden Wedding Anniversary!
Be pleasant until ten o'clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself. ~Elbert Hubbard
"Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something."
Plato, Greek Philosopher 348 BC
Happiness lies in having something to do, something to love and something to hope for.
Think of your faults the first part of the night when you are awake, and the faults of others the latter part of the night when you are asleep. ~Chinese Proverb

The Dog by Ogden Nash
The truth I do not stretch or shove, when I state that the dog is full of love. I’ve also found, by actual test, a wet dog is the lovingest.
Thought I would pass along a cute tongue twister...is it too early for that? Isn't the flower picture beautiful! Have a great day! See you tomorrow... Sandy
Betty Botter bought some butter. "But," she said, "the butter's bitter.
If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter. But a bit of better butter--
that would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter, better than her bitter butter. And she put it
in her batter, and the batter was not bitter. So 'twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter!
