"Where's the Button" by Susan Pearl

 Sewing on a white two-hole button onto the cuff of a man's white shirt shouldn't take too long,

I have allotted eight minutes because everything I need is right here,

and they say that half of a project is rounding everything up.

Now, where is that white button?- it was laying right here on the white shirt.

Should I shake out the shirt?

What is that ping sound on the glassware?

This room is full of glassware. It has been twenty minutes and I finally found the button.

Now I need to thread the needle.

I am safely putting the white button in an antique gold cup.

Now, to thread the needle. Yes, three tries isn't that bad.

I may have more mending so I am cutting the thread a yard long and tying a knot.

Here goes. Everything is lined up. Whoops! the thread is knotting up and I can't pull it through.

What to do> Slow down and get it done as fast as I can.

I cut the thread. Where's the button?

My husband walks in wearing a plaid shirt. 

He said, "They changed the dress code from formal to casual for tonight's club meeting.

"Neither of Us" by Susan Pearl

 My husband and I are into a more advanced time of aging. 

I was carrying some bedding today and one piece fell to the floor.

I asked, "Which one of us is more capable of picking that up off of the floor?"

My husband replied, "Neither.  Your not able and neither am I."

"Neither of us" was his reply.

Wishing everyone the very best. 

Thank you.
