Happy Tuesday! My daughter is happy. She is the new owner of a Toyota Camry now. I had to laugh for she made a remark about how she signed so many papers. I told her to just wait until she buys her first house, that is when you feel like you are signing your life away! But her remark made me think of something else once again. Why are schools not teaching cursive anymore? I think my kids were in the last elementary class that taught it. I realize technology keeps changing and maybe handwritten signatures will be a think of the past. Everything will be electronic. What do I know, though I still think its rather sad.
But anyway, hope you are having a good start to the week and that the following quotes bring you a smile break to your day. Enjoy!

At least we can look at flowers online, instead of being limited to paper flower catalogs like we were in ancient times. As for signing your life away for the first house, I had to laugh because my husband said after making the down payment that we wouldn’t ever pay that much again, and I told him, just wait a few years and you probably won’t think so. He wasn’t making any predictions like that by the time we bought our current house and had to put down more. 🙂

Very true. We got caught in negative equity in the 1990s and saved like stink to move on and cover our losses.

I like number 3.
When my first daughter got her drivers license, I bought an old Camry. My youngest one still drives it today though it isn’t in nearly as good a shape. I figured the next stop for this car would be the junkyard when I bought it. I did give me the ‘pleasure’ of working on cars in the driveway again.

Number 3 I liked as soon as I saw it. Some quotes I debate about but not that one.
That is great that it has lasted so long. Good for you in having fun fixing it up in the driveway. 🙂
Jim said they had one for a long time as well. We had heard they were good cars, looks like it is true. Hopefully it runs well for my daughter for a long time. I am just glad not to have to share my gold nugget anymore. LOL!

Congrats to your daughter—one of the most exciting days is buying your first car. I’m not sure about other schools, but I was still teaching cursive during my last year of teaching (3rd grade.) My favorites this week were #5 and #7.

So what are you going to claim that kept you alive until you were 100? 🙂
Yay on teaching your 3rd graders. It might be different out West. I just know that here public schools have taken it out of their curriculum years ago.

Hmm, not sure. One of my favorite stories to tell about age had to do with my mother-in-law’s boyfriend. (She and my wife’s dad divorced later in life.) He was buying some cold medicine product that had alcohol in it, and the cashier asked him for his ID. (I’m estimating he was 80 at the time.) He asked her, “What? Am I too old?”🤣🤣🤣

#10 speaks the loudest for me. On #9 – God’s love.
I, too, mourn the loss of teaching cursive writing in the schools, though some seem to be resuming teaching it. My question is, if they don’t know cursive, how will they read genealogy records or doctors write prescriptions?

Congrats to your daughter! I’m with you on the cursive. My grandkids can never read my handwriting on cards (if I don’t say so myself, it’s very readable and lovely). Come to think of it, they think cards are passé too. Sigh. Love the one about breaking up with winter. I chuckled out loud.
