Some are still said around here, like "I reckon" and "a lick and a promise". I'm the guilty one.

She'd start a phrase like...."You can lead a horse to water, but ____________" and they'd have to finish. It was so much fun to read their responses because the kids had never heard of half these phrases. I wish I had a copy of that.<BR/><BR/>I ate a lot over the weekend. <BR/>A friend made us a coconut cream pie!!!!<BR/>I wasn't very good over the weekend, but was back to it yesterday. I got on the treadmill this morning for 20 min. !! <BR/>How about you? I think of you often & keep you in my prayers.<BR/>Take care of yourself!<BR/>Love,<BR/>Valerie<BR/>P.S. I'd love your thoughts on the question on my blog. It's been interesting.valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506291993756087418noreply@blogger.com
