She scared my cousins half to death at times. <br /><br />Thanks for the lovely comment you left on my blog. My grandchildren are, indeed, beautiful and some day, yours will be, too ...and they'll have such a fun Nana!

There are some practices you get used to like stopping on a crack in the sidewalk but at the end of the day i dont believe in any of them. <br />How can you NOT rub your elbow if you banged the crap out of it. ouch!hollihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558294192449866387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413648554069885442.post-52946754544605605302013-06-14T07:02:18.712+01:002013-06-14T07:02:18.712+01:00Delightful post!

And doubtless some practical sense concealed in other superstitions as well, except annoying the cat with a lottery ticket --that one might truly bring fortune or misfortune one can invoke in no other way.Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413648554069885442.post-65876287937045610152013-06-14T03:01:58.647+01:002013-06-14T03:01:58.647+01:00Rub a lottery ticket on a cat's butt?

Do kittens count?<br /><br />There are those in my neck of the woods who believe that if you witness a hen crowing at sunrise, someone close to you is set to die.
