The Lighter Side of 50 Plus

Old Farmer’s Advice or Wisdom (part 1)

Every path has a few puddles.

The best sermons are lived, not preached.

Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.
