Deep, Deep Thoughts

...to mull over this weekend.

As you make your way through this hectic world of ours, set aside a few minutes each day. At the end of the year, you’ll have a couple of days saved up. ~Age 7

Home is where the house is. ~Age 6

Give me the strength to change the things I can, the grace to accept the things I cannot, and a great big bag of money. ~Age 13

It would be terrible if the Red Cross Bloodmobile got into an accident. No, wait. That would be good because if anyone needed it, the blood would be right there. ~Age 5


SALMA, CANADA



Think of the biggest number you can. Now add five. Then, imagine if you had that many Twinkies. Wow, that’s five more than the biggest number you could come up with!  ~Age 6
