Lessons by Mother (Dedicated to Scott, after much begging)

Just some of my favorites. How can I put a lifetime of lessons in just one blog?

"Life does not grant us the luxury of hysteria." by way of Grandma

We don't wear shoes for comfort. Then we develop bunions.

Shakespeare was right.

Chaucer was right.

Bronte, Austen and Poe were right.

All of my acting ability.

There are no mistakes in art.

When in doubt, we have children to embarrass others. (The Black Angus gift certificate story)

DMV photos make people vomit.

The mountains bring peace.

Native land is sacred.

Boy Scout trips really do develop character.

Your heart is right.

Your gut is right.

bier am wein ist fein

wein am bier is schwer



WHAN that Aprille with his shoures soote
The droghte of Marche hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour

Kling, Glöckchen, klingelingeling, 
kling, Glöckchen, kling. 
Laßt mich ein, ihr Kinder, 
s'ist so kalt der Winter; 
öffnet mir die Türen, 
laßt mich nicht erfrieren! 
Kling, Glöckchen, klingelingeling, 
kling, Glöckchen, kling. 

Buy like a king to last like a pauper. 
The word, "Quasi."

Advent

Living in a realistic fantasy is healthy. (See acting ability)

Dogs make the best people.

Cats, well. Cats are cats.

All people are equal, but they don't have to be your friends.

Strength

Charity

Love

  1. Whan that Aprille...OMG memories. Had to memorize and recite it in front of my AP English class. We all did. Apparently I was moving back and forth so much as I was reciting it, I made one of my friends seasick.
