Hello, dears!
I think your old Aunt Hattie is getting the knack of this blogging thing! The world wide “web” is VERY interesting. I still don’t want one of those newfangled gadgets, though. I enjoy my freedom and don’t relish being at anyone’s beck and call, morning, noon and night.
A number of my friends are coming down with colds already. The season is changing and germs abound. Drink your fluids, wash your hands (with SOAP, not that sanitizer stuff) , and don’t put them anywhere near your mucus membranes. If you are unfortunate enough to catch a cold, here’s what to do:
Put 7 dried beans in your pocket. Take one bean out of the pocket each day. At the end of 7 days, you will be miraculously healed!
Be sweet with each other, Aunt Hattie
Dear Aunt Hattie,
If I don’t have any dried beans would 7 pebbles work as effectively? Or squirrels? I’ve got plenty of squirrels. They’re not dried so they’d wriggle around a bit, but if I taped them into my pocket …
Dear Peter,
I don’t advise playing rough with wild animals, dear. If you know what I mean. I have plenty of beans and will be happy to share them with you anytime. Wishing you continued good health, your, Aunt Hattie.
