Small Joys–Odd Talents
Sometimes the best small joys are those under-appreciated odd talents. My odd talent is my ability to find something in an over-crowed, unorganized refrigerator!
What’s your odd talent?

Your Life & Mine: Ironing Day
Bysuehar
My brother Bob and I loved ironing day. On ironing day, our mother filled the laundry basket with dampened clothes.

Bysuehar
Of course, family is anything but a small joy, but I can’t let March 23, 2021, go by without featuring my father in this blog series. Born just before the great depression in Arkansas, Dad knows what it was like to eat three meals a day of cornmeal mush. A champion high jumper, he knows…

Maybe my odd talent is to connect with people were ever I go.
Without speaking Italian asking for battery for my camera and getting it.
On the Azoren Islands talking to the taxi-driver were to find us because we got lost.
On the ferry in Brasil speaking to other passengers or on the salar the Uyuni talking with the guide who was taking good care of us also because of high altitude sickness you might become.
Stay safe Sue
I love to meet other people.
