I envy you looking at the state park and at one of his ranch homes. :-)<br /><br />D.G.:<br />I am still working -- on first call this whole weekend -- no solid sleep for me. Whew!

Will Rogers' quotes made me chuckle even more. Growing up in So Cal, we sometimes went to the Will Rogers state park, toured one of his ranch homes and lounged on the grassy lawns. It's really nice. I didn't know he had such a quick wit.<br /><br />Be well, Roland.<br />xoRobynRawknrobyn.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15997241410192066577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-16471442058607676742014-04-05T13:01:07.471-05:002014-04-05T13:01:07.471-05:00Last year at Dollar Tree I saw hardback copies of ...Last year at Dollar Tree I saw hardback copies of one of Evanovich's novels for $1. I probably should have bought it to add to my collection of books I still need to read someday. Actually they probably still have copies of that book there since few people around here probably read English. For that matter I'm not sure that many people around here can read period.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://afarawayview.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> A Faraway View</a><br />An A to Z Co-host blog<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-32290937257871885502014-04-05T12:46:39.570-05:002014-04-05T12:46:39.570-05:00D.G.:

Wh...D.G.:<br />Sorry for the mental blip on your blog. <br /><br />When I first started working for this blood center, I told my supervisor/friend Freddie: "Humans make mistakes. I'm human. So I'm gonna make mistakes."<br /><br />To which he said, "Roland, I have no problem with you being human before work or being human after work -- you just can't be human during work!"<br /><br />D.G., I was human. :-( Sorry.<br /><br />I haven't read Evanovitch, but so many of my friends like her so I decided to include her -- and I liked her quotes. :-)<br /><br />I prefer Robert P. Parker's Spenser series of crime dramas -- especially the works 11 or so.<br /><br />Will Rogers is like Mark Twain to me, too. In fact, I have the two of them in the post to which I provided a link.<br /><br />If Will Rogers hadn't died in that air crash, John Ford's film career would have been quite different.<br /><br />I'm a dog and cat person -- I always had the two together when I had a house and yard!<br /><br />Chrys:<br />I stand in amazement and awe of Helen Keller and Gandhi both. Interesting how great lives are tied together.<br /><br />Book Nine? You must like her. Many of my friends do. We could all do with more laughter and adventure in our lives -- at least laughter! :-)<br /><br />Roland D.

Perhaps she's a good beach read.<br /><br />Will Rogers was pragmatic, and reminds me a bit of Mark Twain. Him, I like. I would rather go where all the felines go when they go to heaven.
