Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful of your life.
If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.
Samuel Clemens (1835-1910), better know by his pen name of Mark Twain, is often recognized as one of America’s greatest humorists. Novelist and writer William Faulkner called him the “father of American literature.” While he was in California in 1865, his literary skills struck gold with the story of “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.”

Thank you Jan. I fell behind in some replies to comments, but life is treating us well here in the Buckeye state. We’ve been trying to catch up with our older grandchildren here in Ohio.

What a great quote. Samuel Clemens sure had a way of putting things into perspective. I also love the story of the jumping frog, filled with buckshot.
