Rainy Greetings!...

...from Sandwich, MA. Charming, very old town with friendly people...at eastern end of Cape Cod Canal.

Mashpee is next town over.

Kissing Circle Walk

Setting out with this picture for a guide, I took a walk through the beautiful fields and farms that surround us here.

Humph...

The map does not show the large "hedges" I realized quickly. Nor are stiles easily found.

A few tumbles and stumbles later, I managed to find 3 of them, THEN?

I couldn't hear cars for the road I thought I was headed to, realized I missed the a stile, and was more or less surrounded by thin wires.

Hmmm. Are they electrified?

I decided to crawl under on my tummy. Only to eventually do the same under barbed wire, and climb over two large gates.

The drama ends when I saw my way to a large barnyard and asked how to get to School House Road. It was at the end of a long drive way.

The real mistake? Not accepting the offer of a ride back to Hoar Cross by a most handsome, red- cheeked and blue-eyed lad!

A beautiful afternoon!

  I offer the following to you after a whole lot of soul searching.
 
 Medicare - Part G - Nursing Home Plan
Say you're an older senior citizen and can no longer take care of yourself. The government says there's no Nursing Home care available for you. So, what do you do? You opt for Part G.
Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun (Part G) and four bullets. You are allowed to shoot four politicians. This means, of course, that you'll be sent to prison where you'll receive three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating & air conditioning, cable TV, library, and all the Health Care you need. Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That's great. Need a hearing aid, new hip, knees, kidney, lungs, sex change, or heart? They're all covered.
As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you at least as often as they do now!
And, who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you they can't afford for you to go into a home. And....you can get rid of 4 useless politicians while you're at it. And now, because you're a prisoner, you don't have to pay any more income taxes.
Is this a great country or what?
Now that I've solved your senior financial planning, enjoy your week.
