Quote for the Day 4/25/2010

To my mother, who had cataract surgery 2 days earlier, and sported a black eye--

Suzie O. : A little heavy on the eye shadow this morning . . .

From Steven's Facebook posts yesterday--

First post:

Of all the days to have a wedding in kansas! It is too nice, we need to have them when it is hot to deter any visitors who might be thinking of moving here!

Second post:

Praise the Lord! We got a very hard rain!

Have you ever heard the like? I'm thinking it's a convoluted way of bragging on our good weather. Let's sit on our good secret; make 'em think the weather is always bad in Kansas. That way we'll be able to keep this good place to ourselves.

If you're thinking of moving here, I think you'll find a warmer welcome than these posts indicate. Even Steven, who is sillier than some, would be nice to you. I'm sure.

Steven speaks for me, however, when he zeroes in on our spread-out population as a plus--something we are not desperate to change. Elbow room and breathing space is a very good thing.
