Last Quote (of the Year)

OK, last week was from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". So, no more easy ones. TIme to put those thinking caps back on. This week's quote--well part of it--is very familiar. All I'm looking for is who said it, not where you can find it. I'll consider that extra credit. HINT: early 19th century British poet

‘Tis strange—but true; for truth is always strange; stranger than fiction

In other news, Christmas was a quiet affair. My Dad went out golfing (the course was closed so it was free) and my mom, aunt and I just kinda hung out. I got a free manicure poolside and I felt like I was in a spa, especially with the chimes. Dad came home, we called family, then lunch, and pinochle. It was while playing cards we realized we hadn't opened presents!

I got some new clothes, a set of notecards from my sister/godmother and $20 gift card for Carrabba's from my brother/godfather. But the biggie was from my Christmas pick: $50 for amazon! I've already begun planning. The smart one who knows me so well? coquillagement's husband. : )

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and has time to rest up for the next one!
