Several 'sideliners' taken from the October/November 2023 OUR IOWA issue; vertical one-liners in the margins of various pages:

"There is no greater treasure than a good friend."

*
"Before repeating anything
a little bird told you,
be sure it wasn't a cuckoo."

*
"Few things are more delightful
than grandchildren
fighting over your lap."

*
"In the game of life,
don't stay in the bleachers....
get down on the field."

*

"Faith is believing the possible....
and trusting the impossible."

*
"Exercise?
I thought you said extra fries!"

*
"Grief can take care of itself,
but to get the full value of joy,
you must have somebody to share it with."

~ Mark Twain
