Finding Beauty in Every Face & Place – Weddings, Funerals, and Good Neighbors
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.

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."
