Some consider this to be the most beautiful tree in the world.  I have to say, I have never seen anything like it.  Spectacular!

I found this collection of HILARIOUS ANSWERS from CHILDREN to QUESTIONS about LOVE.  Too cute!

What Is The Proper Age To Get Married

“Eighty-four. Because at that age, you don’t have to work anymore, and you can spend all your time loving each other in your bedroom.” (Judy, 8)

“Once I’m done with kindergarten, I’m going to find me a wife.” (Tommy, 5)

 What Do Most People Do On A Date?

On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.” (Mike, 10)

 When Is It Okay To Kiss Someone

“Never kiss in front of other people. It’s a big embarrassing thing if anybody sees you. But if nobody sees you, I might be willing to try it with a handsome boy, but just for a few hours.” (Kally, 9)

 Is It Better To Be Single Or Married?

“It’s better for girls to be single, but not for boys. Boys need somebody to clean up after them.” (Lynette, 9)

It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I’m just a kid. I don’t need that kind of trouble.” (Kenny, 7)

 Concerning Why Love Happens Between Two People

No one is sure why it happens, but I heard it has something to do with how you smell. That’s why perfume and deodorant are so popular.” (Jan, 9)

I think you’re supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn’t supposed to be so painful.” (Harlen, 8) BorderUntitled

In this age of the endless barrage of selfies, I thought that I had seen it all until this collection of people going to extraordinary lengths to take extreme pics. And until now, I didn’t think I was afraid of heights…..

and it seems that everyone wants to get in on the picture!

    GOOD MORNING ROBYN!

    This was a GREAT post to get me ready to go back to school today. Yesterday was our Labor Day and we had it off. WOW, from those sliders to what children say, to how to keep from going insane – all of this was FANTASTIC! Oh, I’ve been to Japan, and the cherry blossoms are magical to see. I’ve never seen a wisteria tree, however.

    Well my friend, you made my day! Off to work I go….Anita

      So glad you popped in before your work day. Love to you, friend. xoxo

    “It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I’m just a kid. I don’t need that kind of trouble.” (Kenny, 7) Cracking up at this comment! Those sliders look so good. I am with you, holding on to the last of summer while she is on her way out. And the place with the dusty piles of books and water just beyond the door? I will meet you there! Have a wonderful week Robyn.

      Ha! That little boy had me giggling too, Mindy. Imagine how much fun it would be to watch the boats go by from that comfy little spot! We`d never leave. Do you think they`d deliver pizza to us there! Thanks for visiting!

    I was living on Vancouver Island in Comox and miss it a lot. I wished I had discovered your blog and would have liked to meet for coffee. Where do you live on the Island?
