Like I was walking in a funeral dirge, I ceremoniously walked all my stick arrangements out to the trash this week. It was a sad; but, necessary day as I walked each arrangement out individually like they were grandmothers being seated at a wedding. My pace slow and steady, giving them each a nod at the thought of their bygone beauty. But, like the arrangements were flower girls, they started dispensing crisp and dry leaves on the hardwoods.

So all that talking about sticks earlier today on Facebook, got me to thinking that I need to share the story of when we participated in a Newlywed game at church about 15 years ago. They asked the men: "What one item of your wife's would you really like to tie a chain to a tractor and pull away?" Or something crazy like that.. That's when the Salesman said: "All her sticks."
