Sweetladybug,I thought of you when I read this.

((HUGS))dime

       We always got a laugh out of this.My mothers mothers name is Ruby.she passed away about 12 years ago.She still got a laugh when some one heard "her" song and told her story.

     She and papaw were arguing about something and she got mad and went out on the front porch,sat in her rocker and rocked away.This song  came on the radio and so he reaches over and turns it up.She rocks a little faster.He turns itthe radio up a little more she rocks a little harder.The 3rd or 4th time this happened she burst out laughing.May been the best argument they ever had.Cause after that when ever this song came on the radio papaw would turn it up a little louder and granny would give a little chuckle,,,,,,,,,

((HUGS))

  but one of the first times.We were in the car with my parents and this song was played on the radio.Daddy went white knuckled.We had heard it  before and just as soon not hear it with our parents anywhere in the area.LoL!!

Later that night we played the radio."WULS" out of Chicago.This song came on.We snickered about parents and how they didn't understand things today.Little did we Know.Daddy said music was getting to be a bad influence.Listen to this one and see what you think.

((HUGS))wonder what ours think about us now.

I thought I'd do my part

A old man was sitting in the front row at a town meeting, heckling the mayor as he delivered a long speech. Finally the mayor could stand it no longer, so he pointed to the heckler and said, "will that gentleman please stand up and tell the audience what he has ever done for the good of the city."
"Well Mr. Mayor," the man said in a firm voice. "I voted against you in the last election."

((HUGS))

needs no explanation

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day I went downtown Phoenix and into a shop.

I was only there for about 5 minutes, and when I came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.

I said to him, 'Come on, man, how about giving a retired pilot person a break?'  He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.

I called him a 'Nazi.'

He glared at me and wrote another ticket for having worn tires.

So I called him a 'doughnut eating Gestapo.'

He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he wrote a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes.

The more I abused him the more tickets he wrote.

Personally, I didn't care. I came downtown on the bus, and the car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said, 'Obama in '08.'

I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. It's important to my mental health.

Lol!!The last 3 days have been wonderful!

God Bless everyone,I hope ya'll have had as good a time as I have.((HUGS))

WHAT DO ANGELS LOOK LIKE?

Like the little old lady who returned
~ your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told you that your eyes
~ light up the world, when you smile.
Like the small child who showed you
~ the wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offered to
~ share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed you that it
~ really is all possible, if only you believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along,
~ when you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart,
~ when you didn't think you had one to touch.
Angels come in all sizes and shapes,
~ all ages and skin types.
Some with freckles, some with dimples,
~ some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguised as friends, enemies,
~ teachers, students, lovers and fools.
They don't take life too seriously,
~ they travel light.
They leave no forwarding address,
~ they ask nothing in return.
They wear sneakers with gossamer wings,
~ they get a deal on dry cleaning.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed, But
~ they are everywhere you look, when you choose to see.

July 26th is my birthday.LOL!!But here's why I tell you this.Oldest grandson brought me a gift.I felt it should be shared.

It's a picture of a hand holding a buttercup out to a sun beaming down on it.To the side and under it is this poem;God made the roses cause he knew they'd smell so good.               

                                      God made the iris's cause he liked them too.

                                     God knew that one day you'd be born

                                     So God made buttercups just for you.

  I have put buttercups(daffodils or jonniquils) out here for the last 30 years.One day i was leaving for work(2nd shift,2 till10 pm).Grandkids were all in the yard to tell me bye and as i left they all asked if  they could pick some buttercups.I told them yes but,lol,I didn't realise what they meant  till i came home at 10.They had filled the little red flyer wagon full.It was setting by the sidewalk.Stopped me in my tracks.But,LOL,what could I do.Gathered them all up and fillid a big vase with water for my hand picked center piece.Found out later they had already given their moms their bunch of flowers.

  One time in my life that I really just stopped and smelled the flowers.Or should I say,this is the time I realised I needed to stop and smell the flowers!!LOL!!((hugs))
