Great collection! The one by Amelia Earhart is painfully ironic, though, considering the thing she didn't manage to finish.
Good point. 😊
haha! Howdy sir Vincent, very good words, some of them are even wise!
Howdy Jonboy - Thank you.😊
You are very welcome. What are the big plans this weekend? Is Saturday almost over there?
I went out on Friday. So, I guess it is stay-in Saturday and Sunday - unless someone desires my charming company.😎
lol! you are so lucky that I'm not there to bug you. I'd be calling every weekend saying "hey what are we going to do this weekend?" lol.
Howdy Jonboy. Maybe that's what I need in my life. Otherwise, I will never leave the house - except for my walks. 😊
Actually I can see not leaving the house as long as I have a great view and the house is big enough to do a lot of walking in. Do you have any supplies stocked up in case something catastrophic happens where you'd have to shelter in place?
My computer screen has the best view. 😊
I don't think Singaporeans think 'something castastrophic' might happen. So, we don't stock up. I am quite sure I am right about that.
