A sweet ending

Now, this is truly a lesson in why you should never judge a story by its headline. Suttie Economy, a 94-year-old World War II veteran, wants to have his coffin painted like a pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum when he passes. With all due respect, that seems like a rather eccentric request, but the whole story is amazing. Economy's longtime friend Sammy Oakey (who also runs a funeral service) says Economy is known famously throughout the Roanoke, Virginia, community for handing out Juicy Fruit gum to everyone he meets. Economy became fond of Juicy Fruit during World War II, when Wrigley took Spearmint, Doublemint and Juicy Fruit gums off the civilian market to make sure all of the supply went to the US military. He's been giving it away to friends and strangers alike ever since. "It served as a symbol for his mission to talk to people about the World War II memorial and to honor the deceased veterans that died for our freedom," his brother John says. Economy is currently at the Virginia Veterans Care Clinic recovering from a heart condition, but whenever the time comes, he will certainly have a send-off worthy of his sweet deeds.

Today was delivery day, I am so lucky.

WonderWoman flew in with groceries ...

chicken enchiladas

and, my Grandogs, Zoey, and Laker. I have missed them.

Wonderwoman was showing me how to make a movie 

with Snapchat, as I needed to make a short video to 

send for an upcoming wedding greeting. 

The picture below left is a sample of WW and because 

I was in the background, it made me a mini-me?

 

At right is a screen-
capture of the short 
video of me on a 
moving swing.
The voice is adjusted 
to the little kid pictured. 
It came out funny.

I am so happy to have that done and sent off.
