You Know That Saying ... (T/F?)

[Kätzchen]

..... The Sky Is Blushing .....

..............*ahem* ..........

This particular turn of phrase is *not* expressed nearly as often as it should be, but that is because it's kind of rare when it happens. It's usually expressed when two things happen: The sky at sundown is brilliantly pink; the sky at sunrise is aglow in Pink. Hence..... The Sky Is Blushing.

My mom was born and resided in Upper Michigan until her death. I guess she would be in her late 90's by now if still alive.

Had the pleasure of sitting next to an 92 year old bus rider yesterday. ...... first thing she said to me was, " Is your hair naturally curly?" I told her .... yes. She felt my hair and told me she loved my hair. Her hair was exceptionally board atraight, the type of hair that requires a gifted set of skills to trim and shape up without showing a trace of "cut".


She was so delightful

I SO miss taking public transportation.....I always enjoyed running into unique individuals and the things I might learn from them.

.....You're The Apple Of My Eye .....

This turn of phrase means that someone is cherished beyond all others. It also is an metaphor referencing the sensitive part of the eye, the pupil, the most sensitive part of one's body.
