Little-Known Facts 1 is this week’s Mystery Question. I thought I’d try something different…But first the photo and verse.
This is another photo I took of the afternoon sky last week. It was a beautiful afternoon, and the clouds were so unusual, even for Florida, and I love the verse. I’m anxious to see what Barbara Diggs sees in the clouds. 😉
Now for last week’s Mystery Question: Three of these stupid crook stories are true. I made up one, and believe me, it was hard. See if you can guess which one.
- Is it the man who tried to rob a woman only to discover when he was rolling on the ground in pain that she was a taekwondo black belt.
- Or a woman wanted for second-degree murder was unhappy with the photo officials used on social media and she posted under the photo “That picture ugly.” The PD Department offered to let her come in and take a new picture. And she did.
- Then there was the brainless bank robber who was arrested the day after she posted a YouTube video of her bragging about her crime.
- And then there was the purse snatcher who knocked himself unconscious when he sprinted into a glass window that he thought was an open doorway…
And the answer is…#1! Congrats to all who guessed correctly.
Now onto this week’s Mystery Question: Little-Known Facts 1. Three of these little-known facts are true. One is made up. See if you can guess which one.
- The average coffee tree yields only enough beans every year to make one to one and a half-pounds of coffee.
- Buzz Aldrin left a pen on the moon after the first visit. Eugene Cernan, the last moonwalker, retrieved it. It still worked.
- In 2009 the car that was stolen the most was the 1994 Honda Accord.
- A cornflake in the shape of Illinois sold on eBay for $1,350.
Okay, Super Sleuths, which fact is made up? Leave your answer in the comments and I’ll enter you in a drawing for something!
Here’s today’s song! It’s one I heard for the first time in 1997 and I’ve enjoyed it ever since. I hope you do as well!
Thanks for reading my blog and my books!

Number 2 is incorrect

Hi, Sharon! We’ll see next week…
I love “Victory in Jesus,” what a joy-filled song! Okay, I think you made up number 4 because a CORN FLAKE? Nah.
Author
Hi Priscilla. I’m glad you enjoyed the song!! And you never know what crazy people will pay for… 😉
I’m going with #4.

We’ll see, Diana!

Hi Linda! We’ll see…
Oh my, these clouds. On the right, it looked like several leg bones that had been ex-rayed. Then I saw two stretched out dogs. The one at the bottom looked like my dog who’s been gone a long time. I’m not sure if I saw Casper the ghost, or if it was a seal, but whatever it was, it was holding an axe.! I did see an angel up in the left, in the blue part.
That was kind of sad to have only 1 1/2 lbs of coffee per year. James picked #2, so I’ll go with his decision.

Hi Barbara! I figured you’d see the dogs…We’ll see next week if James picked right…
Great cloud photo and matching verse.
True facts/false facts. Just the facts, ma’am.
#1. Hard working trees go on strike.
#2. Always forgetting my pen.
#3. Put a tracker on that Honda.
#4. Wonder what a Minnesota shaped one would go for?
Pat, I think you made up #2. Where would he leave the pen so it would be found later? Moon’s a pretty big place.

Hi Tim. Glald you enjoyed the post! We’ll see if your reasoning works out next week…
I am having a hard time guessing. I thought it was the Civic that was the most stolen at one time. It is hard to believe number 2 so I am guessing 2 is not true.
Author
Hi Gloria! I’m glad it wasn’t easy…we’ll see next week if it’s #2…
Love the photo and song as always.
I am guessing number 2.
Author
Number 2 is getting a lot of attention, Charlotte…we’ll see…glad you enjoyed the photo and song!
I am guessing it is #1 Have a great week.
Author
Hi Alicia! We’ll see next week…have a great week yourself!
I think #1

We’ll see, Suzanne!

#2 is the made up fact.
In the clouds of that gorgeous photo, I see a hand with a finger raised and it looks like someone saying shhh!
I love the song you shared.
Beautiful picture and such a wonderful matching verse. Victory in Jesus – that takes me all the way back to my childhood, except the accompanying instrument was a piano rather than guitars, etc.
I think #2 was made up, but if by chance it is true, I am certain it was a Steve Hooley Legacy pen.
I have to say #2. Beautiful picture of the clouds and one of my favorite songs.
