Bessie-isms:

*Everyone says, “It’s the thought that counts,” but no one wants to get a present from grandma that knitted from neon yarn and which is five sizes to big or small either.

*Here’s a suggestion for Santa: If I’m on the naughty list, don’t give me coal; give me the name and address of someone else on the naughty list. Thank you.

Quotable:

Love is blind, but marriage restores its sight.

G. C. Lichtenburg
