T<\/strong>onight we went to one of those fancy wine parties where you walk around with snooty people with their little pinkies extended out as they drink wine.<\/p>\n

It was most enjoyable. We have been to several of these parties and I have learned to just sit back and let my wife entertain herself and others.<\/p>\n

There was one gentlelady who she started conversing with, that I found most enjoyable. During the discussion of how many kids she had and what she had done with her life, I asked her a question that is considered off the wall, because I love screwing with people.<\/p>\n

Her name is Kay.<\/p>\n

\u201cKay, how old are you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c93.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, seriously. How old are you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c93.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKay, you don\u2019t look a day over 75,\u201d I lied.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. I really am 93.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWow! What did you do to be that old?\u201d<\/p>\n

At this point I lost track of the conversation, but basically, she keeps busy and physically active.<\/p>\n

As she stood there with a glass of wine, I asked another off the wall question. \u201cSo, what is your choice of drink? Wine?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI drink beer and sip tequila.\u201d<\/p>\n

At that point, the conversation went to XXXX. \u00a0<- insert the slang for feces.<\/p>\n

So, I took the liberty of talking about our dear Mother. I explained how she graduated from TT at the ripe age of 89. I told how she was a writer and wrote six books. She was quite impressed, so I told her I would send her a copy of MotherDear\u2019s last book.<\/p>\n

I think I will send her several copies of it to share with others.<\/p>\n

Thank you, MotherDear. Your gift to the world will continue as long as I have copies, thanks to my sister and opportunities to tell others about your amazing gift to the world.<\/p>\n

Somewhere it is written, \u201cWhat is the value is the life of man, if he leaves nothing for the world upon his demise?\u201d<\/p>\n

Our mother has left gift upon gift to the world, and those gifts will travel on and on like ripples on a pond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
