One Thanksgiving years ago my mom had invited a friend of hers over to spend it with us. She always did that every year, someone she knew who had no family or for some reason they would be alone on thanksgiving, she would insist that they come to our house. She always knew how to get around their pride or feeling out of place by making them feel needed. "Hey, we need another guy to help haul the folding table and chairs...or...I have a selfish motive here, i need someone to help clean up the dishes and besides that, i want you to make your famous apple dumplings."
Anyways this lady she worked with had this riddle.
It took me forever to figure it out. I never forgot it over the years. So here it is:
A man gets a phone call to come down to the morgue. There has been an accident and they need him to identify the body. After looking at the person laying on the slab, this is what he says:
"Brothers and sisters, I have none. But this mans father is my fathers son."
So...there is your only clue. Who is the dead guy?
Yes, its his son. How did you guys figure it out so fast? i actually had to put myself as the guy who gets the phone call and assign my real relatives in the place of his in the riddle to figure it out!
yeah. logic isnt one of my strong points! lol

Early Morning and Ancestors
damn, I thought i was going to have to take a class on how to navigate writing in my journal, they have changed it up a bit. Sometimes too many choices is not a good thing. Like journal entries and donut shop selections.
Its one of those nights that I cannot seem to stay asleep.. So here it is, 4AM in the morning and I have given in, made coffee and settled in with my first cup of the morning.
I've been doing quite a bit of research on family history lately. Got a subscription to ancestry.com. And although i think its a bit pricey, the information available to you can be remarkable. You can turn up some of the most surprising th
Ch..ch..ch..Changes
So....I have moved into a little one bedroom cottage on the edge of downtown with my boyfriend. (hate that word...boyfriend. One would think there would be a better more realistic word to replace 'boyfriend' with when you're over 40. I mean its been several decades since he has been a boy....) ANYWAYS..... its cute. cozy. has lots of potential. Built in probably the 1940's which means real walls (plaster not sheet rock), higher ceilings with cupboards that reach all the way to the top, built in drawers for clothing and stuff and all kinds of cubby holes, shelves and such that you dont see in modern places anymore.
