Words are one of my delights. How about 'peregrinations' or 'peripatetic'? Or tintinnabulation'? (Only one of these words have I used recently and then was asked to define it!) And today the headline on Page One of the Jessamine Journal said, "Vandals wreck havoc at Ebenezer Cemetery." So I telephoned the paper and explained that people "WREAK havoc, or they WRECK graveyards." The poor fellow could only say, and I quote, "Right. . . right. . .ahh." Not even an "I am so sorry - that is awful, I will speak to my proofreaders!"

(Slaps forehead) What IS the world coming to??

On a lighter note: Mama Rhoda is asking me to go to Hazard next week while she is doing Hospice stuff, and I will be two or three days in a hotel with a laptop. She is urging me to write my memoirs!! By the pool. Shall I do it? I will try.
