My blog is Seventeen Years Old today! But judging by what you are about to read, it still hasn’t grown up!
.
Adam and Eve were baffled by the rising and setting sun. It came up one on one side of the garden, then went down on another. How did that happen?
They decided to sit and watch the sky for twenty-four hours, but it didn’t help so they called it a day.
Eve was watching the sunrise one morning when it dawned on her. She held an apple in each hand and moved them around each other, then suddenly it made sense!
Years later when Adam died, Eve went into mourning, but she had her sons to remind her of him.

Happy 17th to your blog. I guess when you play with the tree of knowledge, well, anyway, she should have kept at it so we wouldn’t have to wait for Galileo and Newton…
Thanks so much, Trent – a good point!
Hi Keith good evening from an old retired and tired but happy lawyer living in Exmouth in Devon….Congratulations on your blog especially the amazing information on your father Denis Hillman who was an utterly amazing man ..my own father made miniature furniture in his later years but nothing remotely resembling the quality of yours so tothe purpose of my contact…I have a large oil painting which I believe to be by your father of a golf course in surrey or sussex but which is so indicative of the miniaturisation your dad was blessed with creating dated 1968 which is exactly the time he had just been made redundant and was considering what to do next and Im reliably informed considered painting although was put off this by a friend and the rest is history as we all know but I think the picture I have was basically a one off he painted showing his passion for miniatures and the detail is incredible. …But I cannot be certain so please get in touch and lets talk further…kindest regards John my email address is starburst3020@gmail.com
Thanks for dropping by John, and for your kind words about my late father. I’ll be in touch soon.
Thanks Keith as I said my email address is starburst3020@gmail.com and if you contact me on that I can send you photos of the painting and signature and hey who knows you might even recognise it regards
An interesting take, Well done, Keith.
Thanks, Mason!
You’re welcome!
Worldplay of the highest order Keith. I particularly liked ‘ called it a day’ 🙂
That’s so kind of you Iain, thank you!
Fun story!
Ronda
I’m pleased you liked it Ronda, thank you.
Clever stuff, Keith.
Thanks, Liz!
Now I find myself wondering, if Eve had son’s, where did the girls come from😉
That is something I’ve always wondered about!
Happy Blogoversary! Please, it’s okay to get older, but don’t ever get old and stale.
Thank you. Not a chance of that Mimi!
Congrats on 17 years…happy anniversary! 💞
Thanks so much, and by the way, this is my post number 2699!
Holy Toledo, that’s fantastic! 💞💞💞
From start to finish this made me smile. 17 years…wow! Congrats.
I’m pleased! Thanks so much, Dawn.
I really never considered which died first.
She had to go first so I could combine the words Eve and mourning, aka morning!
The first female scientist.
Indeed! Thanks, Danny.
Your punning has reached new heights, Keith! Happy 17th!! And here’s to 17 more! 🍷💙
The only way is up! Thanks so much, Dora.
Deft wordplay here, Keith. Happy 17th Blogiversary!
Thanks so much, Lisa!
You’re very welcome 🙂
Wowzers! My dear friend. :))
A fantastic 17th anniversary.
You always continue to enamour us with you wise, delectable and punny words.
Hope Keiths Ramblings stays forever young- that’s how I like it!!!
Some tree of life this! 🙂
To endless years of spreading the smiles.
Cheers! Raising a toast for you.
Natasha, thank you so much for your kind words. Your continuing support and encouraging comments make all the work worthwhile! Cheers!!!
Clever as ever, Keith. Congrats on the 17th year while managing your ever-youthful wisdom and wit. 🙂
That’s most kind of you Bill, thanks so much.
WOW, 17 years congratulations, this is only my second year – sending you a virtual medal, here’s to the next 17. Loved this story Keith especially this line ‘ so they called it a day’ , keep up the good work 🙂
Where do the years go? I’ll wear my VM with pride, thank you!
Oh, this is so so fun!!! Love this! And, happy 17th!!
I’m really pleased, thanks so much, Na’ama!
🙂 Well deserved!
I liked’ call it a day ‘, too. This is a fun story, as always, and happy 17th!
Those few words seem to have gone down quite well! Thank you so much.
You are welcome 🙂
That’s where it all began! Eve has shown an example of how the world revolves around women, don’t tell them I know.
You don’t need to tell me that, James! It was where it began, but how the brothers produced the next generation has always confused me since there were no girls around!
Thank you Keith for this fun take on the photo, do any of us really grow up ? Maybe gain a little wisdom and skills along the way… Wishing you pleasant writing for this weekend.
We do in some ways but resist in others! Thanks so much for your good wishes, Susan.
I always love your stories.
Double layers of thoughts and humour.
Congratulations on the blog.
That’s so kind of you, I really appreciate it.
Seventeen years! You may be the granddaddy of us all 🙂 I didn’t even know what a blog was 17 years ago!
And, as usual, your story made me smile. I think I’ll call it a day.
I had to check and double-check, it really doesn’t seem that long. Call it a day? Not for good I hope Linda!
No, I wasn’t serious 🙂
it must have happened before the fall but most likely before newton. 🙂
Happy blogaversary Keith… you have 10 years on me! This one made me laugh, as usual. Well done 🙂
Love it. Eve seems to have been rather bright. A shining light during humankinds dawn. If only her sons had been as enlightened. And congrats on the seventeen. What will your blog do next year, move out?
A fun story as always with clever puns. I’m not good at them so I enjoy others who are. Congratulations on seventeen years, Keith!! Here’s to seventeen more and more. 🙂
Dear Keith.
Clever take on the prompt. Loved call it a day…and there was evening…never mind. Happy 17th Blogaversary!
Shalom,
Rochelle
