Hello all:
Recently, I was at church.
I glanced to the side of the main stage, (that is not really what it's called--how about collective religious area ) and there was a priest sitting nonchalantly in a pew. He looked a little bored. Or a lot bored.
How convenient, I thought.
It's a Spare Priest!
Later on in the mass, he actually did something, leading me to believe he was not, in fact, a Spare Priest.
Moving on: I have seen many
quinceanera dresses lately that are nothing less than horrors.
(For those who are Mexi-CAN'T and not Mexi-CAN, "quinceanera" describes an event held in honor of a girl who is turning 15. A coming-of-age deal).
Back to the dress.
I have seen a dress that was almost neon orange, two dresses that were a sickly pink, and a dress whose bottom half was made of gold and black splotches. All four of these dresses contained millions of ruffles. I understand that some people like ruffles, but let's not go overboard.
I literally felt sorry for a couple of the girls who were wearing these dresses. Ladies, (Amigas), just remember that it is possible to pick a classy quinceanera dress, without being
completely tacky. If nothing else, go shopping for an evening gown--then call it your "quinceanera" dress.
Moving on again: I received a letter in the mail, based on a contest I entered, stating that I had won either--$49,000, a new Mercedes, BMW, or Porsche, a 1,500 shopping spree, a 5-day and 4 night Exotic Island Adventure,
OR 500.00 Cash. When I filled out the contest form, there was a brand new
Camaro that I was told would be given away--much different from any of the cars listed.
When I called the 800 number to ask about my prize, I was told I would have to go to a resort in
Flint, Texas to find out which prize I received. I was told, if I wanted, I could take a 90-minute tour, when I was there!
After careful consideration, I did not talk much longer to the person on the phone.
The company that is doing this is called AVC Travel, of North Richland Hills, Texas. They do not have a web site.
Keep It Simple.
Goodbye.

I took this picture outside of a building at
Fair Park. During the state fair. The plaque is honoring women who contributed during the Civil War. It actually is an interesting plaque, and talks about the great effort made by women in diverse occupations.
The reason I took the picture is because of the middle paragraph.
It states the words, "man's work." I don't know if you can tell, but I tried to hone in on those words.
It reminded me that, I am sure these words are still used by many people!
The End.
