QUOTE FOR THE WEEK
Breakups hurt, but losing someone
who doesn’t respect and appreciate
you is actually a gain, not a loss.

Two boys were walking home from
Sunday school after hearing a
strong preaching on the devil. One
said to the other, 'What do you think
about all this Satan stuff?' The other
boy replied, 'Well, you know how
Santa Claus turned out. It's probably just your Dad.'

An elderly woman died last month.
Having never married, she requested no male Pallbearers.
In her
handwritten instructions for her memorial
service, she wrote, 'They
wouldn't take me out while I was
alive, I don't want them to take me
out when I'm dead.'

A police recruit was asked during
the exam, 'What would you do if
you had to arrest your own mother?' He answered, 'Call for backup.'
My young grandson called the other
day to wish me Happy Birthday. He
asked me how old I was, and I told
him, "80". My grandson was quiet
for a moment, and then he asked,
"Did you start at 1?”

In my life, I’ve lived, I’ve loved,
I’ve lost, Lived hurt, I’ve missed,
I’ve trusted, I’ve made mistakes,
but most of all, I’ve Learned.
Soft hearted people are not foolsthey know what people did to them,
but-they forgive again and again
because they have beautiful hearts.
A husband walks into Victoria 's Secret to
purchase a sheer negligee for his wife.
He is shown several possibilities that
range from $250 to $500 in price -- the
more sheer, the higher the price. Naturally, he opts for the most sheer item,
pays the $500, and takes it home. He
presents it to his wife and asks her to go
upstairs, put it on, and model it for
him. Upstairs the wife thinks, 'I have an
idea. It's so sheer that it might as well be
nothing. I won't put it on, but I'll do the
modeling naked, return it tomorrow, and
keep the $500 refund for myself.' She
appears naked on the balcony and strikes
a pose.
The husband says, 'Good
Grief! You'd think for $500, they'd at
least iron it!'
Funeral on Thursday
2pm.Closed coffin.
Believe it or not, Panama Canal is
not the only water line connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
There is a creek that divides the
continental United States and connects the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans! It’s in Wyoming—deep in
the Teton Wilderness Area of the
Bridger-Teton National Forest—in
which a creek splits in two. Commonly called “Parting of the Waters”, the site of Two Ocean Pass on
the Great Divide actually divides
North America in two parts by a single water line that—no matter how
hard you try not to—you will have
to cross to go from North to South
and vice versa. To the East, the
creek flows "3,488 miles to the Atlantic Ocean via Atlantic Creek and
the Yellowstone, Missouri and Mississippi Rivers."
To the West, it
flows "1,353 miles to the Pacific
Ocean via Pacific Creek and the
Snake and Columbia Rivers. Don’t
believe us? Just Google: Parting of
the Waters!
CONGRATULATIONS to our band students & director! They were chosen to
march in the Disneyland Parade on
March 28!!!
After putting her grandchildren to
bed, a grandmother changed into
old slacks and a droopy blouse and
proceeded to wash her hair. As she
heard the children getting more and
more rambunctious, her patience
grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel
around her head and stormed into
their room, putting them back to
bed with stern warnings. As she left
the room, she heard the three-yearold say with a trembling voice,
"Who was THAT?"
My Grandparents are funny. When
they bend over, you hear gas leaks
and they blame their dog.

I didn't know if my granddaughter had
learned her colors yet, so I decided to
test her. I would point out something
and ask what color it was. She would
tell me and was always correct. It was
fun for me, so I continued. At last, she
headed for the door, saying,
"Grandma, I think you should try to
figure out some of these colors yourself!"
