Sunday Sip & Serve — Finish the Saying

41 minutes ago
1 min read

Coffee on? Tea steeping? Good.


Today’s Sunday Sip & Serve is going back to the sayings Grandma could deliver without checking a book, opening Google or explaining herself twice.


Some answers will arrive before you finish reading. One or two may be hiding in the back of the cupboard.


No Googling. No asking the person beside you. Just you, your memory and whatever is in your cup.


Warm cream, brown and gold Sunday Sip & Serve cover titled “Finish the Saying,” with a steaming cup, old books and handwritten proverb lines.

Finish the Saying


  1. A bird in the hand is worth…

  2. You can lead a horse to water, but…

  3. Too many cooks…

  4. The early bird…

  5. Don’t count your chickens…

  6. Where there’s smoke…

  7. You can’t judge a book…

  8. What goes around…


How did you do?


7–8 correct: Grandma might have to ask you for one.


4–6 correct: Not bad at all. A few were hiding in the back of the cupboard.


0–3 correct: Put the kettle back on. Nobody is judging anybody here.
