It is special people like you and Barry, along with all the others that I have met in Blogland, that add little smiles to my grueling days working for a newspaper. Deadlines are killers. <br /><br />Thank goodness there no deadlines in Blogland (although I made an exception today) - that is what makes blogging so much fun for me.

It is funny that at one time my mom had one of those triangle things that make a sound like a bell and when she would want us in for dinner she would have which ever one of us that was there, ring the thing. And this was in a city or the suburbs as we call them today. The other kids thought it was cool. I do not know whatever happened to it. I think it got lost one time when we moved.<br /><br />I will be ringing my bells for Barry at 11:00 am, my time. Maybe the world hear all these bells for Barry.<br /><br />God bless.Mrsupolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563854387767106508noreply@blogger.com
