Sunday one liners ~ 22

Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones,
as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.

      How true, Kate, it is often those little things that break the camel’s back. Distance dilutes them.

      Cathy, I thought I was the only to search the house for chocolate, even when I know I have none. 🙁

    Terrific quote, GM. It explains why sometimes it’s “out of sight, out of mind” and other times “absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

    A wonderful and profound thought. BTW, working on David’s tree, I found all sorts of Scots and Irish. I told him now he can celebrate Saint Patrick’s day and wear green legit. Dianne

      Dianne, Researching a family tree is so much fun. All the non-Irish on my tree are the ‘Add Ons’ aka ‘Married intos’

        All David’s Irish ancestors are direct ancestors. Name like Kelly. They are Irish, Scots, Welsh, German and English on his Dad’s dad’s side. All in Appalachia too. Typical mix in that area. People fleeing the wealthier areas to the East…Tidewater VA. And before that England…mostly former indentured servants. So interesting. Produced the likes of Ronald Reagan, June Carter Cash, General George Patton, and others.

      Debra, I began with a wonderful weekend with Elly, George & Buffy to play with. My house is very quiet this morning, but their visit was just the tonic I needed!
