ReplyDeleteAnd love the quote, how true!

ReplyDeleteI didn't know the each King represented a certain king or ruler in history.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I did know only one of the kings in a deck of cards has no mustache - or is it only one that has a mustache? I forgot, I am not very impressive with my trivia bits am I?
That was an informative linl.
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me here.
Michele sent me over again today, Judy.
ReplyDeleteI was out shopping last night and it was pretty quiet. I didn't go out until after 8pm tho. Various stores at Crossroads and then over to Fuquay for Wal-mart. It didn't even get cold at all until around 11pm. Freaky weather, huh?
Do you get the feeling that they just made up that info about the playing cards?
I always get this picture of Michele as a sort of blog traffic warden busily directing people hither and yon and I long for the day when I have a commenter who says the magic 'Michele sent me!'
ReplyDeleteI love that quote1 It is so true.
