CROSS STITCH SAMPLER FOR OUR AGE

These words of wisdom hang on the basement wall at the old homestead. They still ring true long after the olden 1980s:

Six phases of a project

1. Enthusiasm
2. Disillusionment
3. Panic
4. Search for the Guilty
5. Punishment of the Innocent
6. Praise and Honors for the Non Participants

These even older words from Grandma's house get truer by the year:

We grow too soon oldt
Und too late schmardt

Now this wise reminder for my far-roaming sons:

PACK
YOUR
PHONE
CHARGER

I've made the pattern, and I'm looking for my embroidery hoop.
