Another Household
Hint From Bobbi
One of the top household uses for vinegar is as a natural
remover of white water rings on wood or leather. Simply
soak a soft cloth in a mixture of equal parts white vinegar
and olive oil. Gently rub on areas where glasses have been
left on a wooden surface. Rub until the oil is absorbed and
then enjoy the look of a table top that looks like new.

5 I stopped telling the elderly that they’ve already narrated

never, NEVER turn it down, just say “Thank You.”
8 I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on
my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances.
9 I walk away from people who don’t value me. They might
not know my worth, but I do.
10 I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in
the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.
11 I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions.
It’s my emotions that make me human.
12 I have learned that it’s better to drop the ego than to break
a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas
with relationships, I will never be alone.
13 I have learned to live each day as if it’s the last. After
all, it might be the last.
14 I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for
my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a
choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!
I decided to share this for all my friends. Why do we
have to wait to be 60 or 70 or 80. Why can’t we practice
this at any stage and age?

Kevin Boothe is another NFLer friend of mine from grad school. Kevin—or KB as we call him—is a smarty-pants.
He played college ball at Cornell and may have been the only Ivy Leaguer in our whole cohort. KB has two Super Bowl
rings (one of which he let me wear one day in school!), both of which he won with the New York Giants (Super Bowls
XLII and XLVI). What you might not know by looking at him is that KB is a giant teddy bear. Perhaps I shouldn’t share
that because offensive linemen are meant to be hulking, scary dudes on the gridiron. But off the field, he is a wonderfully
kind friend. a loving husband to Rosalie and the sweetest dad. Here is a favorite dish of KB’s and the Boothe household.

Games, where his team won a bronze. In 2002 and 2004, Keeth won the US National Sabre Championship and in 2003,

I did not write this and I’m not sure who did - but WOW does it speak to my heart!!! Worth the read. Don’t wait to
read it later!
Barely the day started and... it’s already six in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday and it’s already Friday.
... and the month is already over.
... and the year is almost over.
... and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed.
... and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.
and we realize it’s too late to go back...
So... Let’s try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time...
Let’s keep looking for activities that we like...
Let’s put some color in our grey...
Let’s smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.
And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left. Let’s try to eliminate the afters...
I’m doing it after_
I’ll say after...
I’ll think about it after...
We leave everything for later like “ after is ours.
Because what we don’t understand is that:
Afterwards, the coffee gets cold...
afterwards, priorities change...
Afterwards, the charm is broken...
afterwards, health passes...
Afterwards, the kids grow up...
Afterwards parents get old...
Afterwards, promises are forgotten...
afterwards, the day becomes the night...
afterwards life ends...
And then it’s often too late....
So... Let’s leave nothing for later...
Because still waiting see you later, we can lose the best moments,
the best experiences,
best friends,
the best family...
The day is today... The moment is now...
We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone what needs to be done right away. So let’s see if you have
time to read this message and then share it.
Or maybe you’ll leave it for.. “ later “...
And you’ll never share
32 THE GREENBRIAR TIMES february 2021Aperture, Shutter, Program
This month we’ll discuss controlling the exposure for a
desired effect. Most cameras have a mode dial with many settings
including aperture, shutter, and program priority. But which
should you use and why. For a pleasing overall effect and even
exposure you can use the program or auto mode and let the
camera make the decisions for you. We’ll discuss Aperture and
Shutter priority in the coming months.
In Auto mode the camera makes all the decisions for you. You
frame your shot, focus, and push the shutter button. this will work
well in most situations and give you a pleasing image.
In Program mode the camera will make most of the decisions
for you. You can still choose to over and under expose and control
whether to use the flash, among other things. this gives you
more control of your image and can come in handy in tougher
photographic situations.
If you’re new to photography, I suggest you start with Auto
and move to Program when you feel more comfortable making
some changes. After you’ve mastered these modes it may be time
to go to Aperture or Shutter priority.
As always you can email to bill@kirmsphotography.com
with any photographic questions. You can visit my web site
www.kirmsphotography.com if you’d like to see more of my
images. Keep shooting and improving your images, but most
importantly, have fun with your camera.

Rent My Husband...Please!!
Dinah Shore sang..“it’s so nice to have a man around the house”
The rest of the lyric should be “...just not a retired one”!
My husband retired 3 months ago. He can and will do anything at
all around the house. Absolutely NO JOB TOO SMALL.
