(The picture that drove my late wife nuts. The first time she saw it, which was on Facebook, she shrieked from the other room in the apartment, "Kevin! What is wrong with you? Take it down now!" She was not amused by the picture caption either--- What The Book Sees. 🤣)

I appreciate the post, as always Kevin, but my favorite part was the photo at the bottom. 😂
It drove her nuts. Every few months when they had her in the hospital for chemo, I would just post it somewhere, like Facebook, or send it to her. I once walked into her room at Medical City, where she would often have several nurses in with her as she taught them how to crochet or something, and she had her phone and was showing all the nurses how I had this picture and thought it was funny. That this was what she had to put up with at home.
Next month, she is back in for the four day round, and several nurses proceed to tell her and me, how they had told their husbands, and now the hubbys were all doing versions of it. Couple of them had teenage sons who were now doing their versions as well.
Sandi was horrified. I thought it was freaking hilarious. The Church of the Holy Nostrils was a thing! lol
I love it! 😂
