I love “The falling-off is more than the come-to”! That’s an interesting one!
I love “ the falling off is more than the come to”! Struck me as funny but so true. It’s perfectly clear as to the meaning.

Hi Tipper, I came across one of your you tube videos and heard you mention Gazzie. I was dumbfounded because my grandmother’s sister’s name was Gazzie. My grandmother was Pearl…so low and behold I realized we’re related.
Linda-It was so good to read your comment about us being related! I have fond memories of your Grandmother Pearl 🙂
I hope you are well-and thanks for letting me know you’re out there!

That made me think of homemade ice cream which I haven’t had in many years.
Now there is a different take in the word ‘homespun’ AW. But it fits. Stay dry.
