“It’s so so.”

(Heather:  A penny for your thoughts?)

“A penny for your thoughts is in my heart.  I’ve had it said to me by older people, but no young person every said it.”

(Heather:  Yes, I guess we can call that an old-fashion saying, but I love it.  Well, I’m in my 60s.  I am not sure whether I am young or old but I’ll ask again.  A penny for your thoughts?)

“I’m looking at that crate and wondering what it is for.  Stuck in there.”

(Mother, you are amazing.  It is the attractive packaging that I put up there on top of the wardrobe closet to get it out of the way. You have an eye for décor  It is very obvious that you were on full scholarship at the Rhode Island School of Design for three years. You never lost that eye for décor.  Mother, you amaze me.)

“I didn’t know that. I realize I’ve done it all my life.  Figuring it out for myself.”

(Heather:   A penny for your thoughts?)

“Nothing.  I don’t like New Hampshire, the word.  Right then and there, it didn’t appeal to me.  Now it sounds good.”

(Heather:  A penny for your thoughts?”)

“I’m thinking that Spencer saying a penny for your thoughts.  He says that to Brenda.  I don’t think my boys were very good to their wives.  They don’t go out of their way at all to say “Dear”, “Honey”.  You know.

(Heather:  You should tell them.)

“I will.  I think their lives are better than their wives.  I think they aren’t too sweet to their wives.”

“Good thing we have all our doings inside.”

(Heather:  A penny for your thoughts?)

“I want to know what you are thinking.” (laughter)
