I love sayings.
what sayings strike a chord with you?

it also reminds me that when my hubbie was a child, his parents used to take him & his sister out for dessert whenever they were going to break the news that they were moving countries. I thought it was nice to have some sort of ritual and forewarning that there was some big news coming.
