My Hero, Ben Franklin would be 306 years old today. His advice is as sound today as it was in the days he wrote it. Maybe you know some of these?
But in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
Eat to live, and not live to eat.
Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
Lie down with Dogs, rise up with Fleas.
God helps them that help themselves.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Little strokes, Fell great oaks.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Old boys have their playthings as well as young ones; the difference is only in the price.
Happy Tuesday!

Welcome to life without the instruction book, cooking without looking at the recipe, and straight up NERD worship. I married one, I birthed two and happily call myself one. My heroes have always been nerdests...Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Nikola Tesla, Winston Churchill, and foremost my Dad. Come Ride The Arrow with me awhile.

Hey girl! I love quotes and it was good to read some oldies, but goodies — and some new ones.
I DO love me that sweet Ben Franklin! He wouldn’t have to say anything for me to dig him, but he DID! Weee!
