Why? Don't know. It was just something we did as kids. <br /><br />Unfortunately, this town is full of HUGE cemeteries. I should probably start lifting my feet on a more regular basis.

On the rare occasion that I am in one, I do hold my breath while going through a tunnel. More for the entertainment of it than the superstition, but hey, one can never be too careful.

My six year old daughter was with me at the time, and she exclaimed, "Grandpa's dead. When God sends light through the clouds like that it means he is celebrating a new member to heaven."<br /><br />True, he had died before reaching the hospital.<br /><br />To this day whenever I see sun rays piercing though the clouds, I automatically think the God is celebrating again.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278403041887060649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370763014722326902.post-27252963475147754642010-02-16T10:58:25.293-08:002010-02-16T10:58:25.293-08:00jmberrygirl: Really?

Mt daughter was born on Friday the 13th so my superstitions are a little backwards sometimes. I do knock on wood & say "bread & butter" when I split a pole. SO I'd have to say I am a pretty superstitious person.
