The Big Secret

I think I've figured out more secrets to this age reversal thang. Aside from the obvious one day yield every 4 years from the "Leap Year Phenomenon", there's Day Light Savings....a 24 hour "reclamation"(made up word usage for age-reversal process)that can be taken advantage of 2 days a year. Here's how it works...if you don't participate...just refuse to live by the "spring-ahead" theory...in the fall, when we "fall-back"....you can get back one extra day...the one you didn't do in the spring, and the one you participated in at the fall change gives you two days a year. I know there's something about taking half of 365 divided by 2 (note:no division sign to use on computer) but there still is a minus (-) sign which lets you take away and the leap year takes a day away also...somewhere the formula is in there. I think I've probably aged a year while trying to figure this out...soooo...I'm just going to walk over to Paint Bank General Store and buy a bottle of the "Mother's Vinegar" to detox...gather "GQ" and "Mother Goose" and try, for the third time , to exercise for health. We'll eat healthy, grab a plate of brown beans, taters and onions,cole slaw and cornbread(ALL HOMEMADE by the way)from The Swinging Bridge restaurant and proceed with the exercises. And when you come to see us and if while you're walking from the parking lot to the store, you hear a gaggle of Canadian Geese making a"honking sound" above, it might just be us doing our deep knee bends. While you're here enjoying Paint Bank, walk across the street to the Depot Lodge and say "Hey"...I'll say hey back at you.




Only 15 days and Mother Nature SPRINGS into town

Wordage: Copacetic.(adjective Koh-puh-set-ik)

Meaning: Very satisfactory, fine.

My Daddy(God rest his soul) used this word all the time...I always thought it wasn't a real word....but it is...and that's copacetic!
