REZZY DENT SAYS….

       Adele Garren, a charter member of St. Simeon’s Auxiliary, wrote to The Quill saying her addition to Life Enrichment in Old Age was: KEEP MOVING.

      A resident, a devoted user of the Internet, sent this joke:     

    A lady was a tourist in Atlanta. She walked into a big building with a sign over the entrance “Hemingway Literary Museum.”   She said to the guide, “the museum was named for Ernest Hemingway, no doubt, the famous writer?”   “No, Madam, it was named for Claude Hemingway?  "Really? What did he write?"  “A check for 55 million dollars, madam.”

 

     That one has the ring of truth!. . . . The resident sent Rezzy several others but they seemed in slightly questionable taste for this space.— Write if you would like a copy of them! They’ll be sent in a plain envelope with no return address.

     Memories are certainly one of the solaces of old age if we are lucky. A recent column of Maureen Dowd’s triggered this one. The title of the column was: “What’s Wrong with Having a Face with Character?”

 Here’s the memory:

     Riding in the car with her grandmother, the six-year old said, “Gran’E you don’t use any cream on your face, do you?”     

     “No, darling. I don’t.”

     “Don’t use any, …..I just love your wrinkles!”

     Recently the twenty-two year old grand daughter got in behind the steering wheel after having buckled her grandmother into the adjacent seat, cast an appraising eye and said

     “Gran’E—– - - I think you can use some cream now if you want to.”

     

     With Easter just past and spring in the offing try reading “Renascence” by Edna St. Vincent Millay. Or better yet, suggest to Dahta that it be read together at one of the Friday Poetry Hour sessions.

       

     Do we remember often enough that each of us needs to be valued for what we can do, not scorned or rebuked for what we can’t do?

Did you hear the one about …..

 

    Why is psychoanalysis a lot quicker for men than women? - When it's time to go back to his childhood, he's already there.
