Keepin' an Eye on You!

A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to talk with her.

Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket toward the man.

He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back.

"Oh my, I am so sorry," the woman says as she pops her eye back in place.

"Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you," she says.

They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they go to the theater followed by drinks. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his. She listens.

After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast.

They had a wonderful, wonderful time.

The next morning, she cooks a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy is amazed. Everything had been SO incredible!

"You know, "he said, "You are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet? "

"No, "she replies. . . . "










Wait for it.










It's coming. ..










The suspense is killing you, isn't it?

















She says:


"You just happened to catch my eye."

Bad Betty's Birthday


Yesterday Chris and I picked up my mom and took her to HHS for her birthday. It's my mom's fave place to go and has always been a family fave. Lots of good memories made there. The weather was a little iffy driving out but cleared up along the way and once we got there it was perfect.


We went to our favorite little Bavarian place and sat outside on the patio. Lots of laughs and my mom charming the waiter. She actually did charm him into giving her free cake because she said it was her 100th Birthday! He looked shocked, I told him I thought she didn't look a day over 80 so pretty good for a 100 huh!

Attitude


There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.

Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today"
So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.

"H-M-M," she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today"
So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head.

"Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail."
So she did and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.

"YEAH!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"


Attitude is everything.

Be kinder than necessary,

for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Live simply,

Love generously,

Care deeply,

Speak kindly.......

Leave the rest to God



Quit Poking Me!


To know me is to love me. To know me is to know that I absolutely HATE being poked! It comes from years of annoying older brothers who loved to torment their younger sister. The kind of humour that thinks it's funny to come up behind their unsuspecting sibling (darling that I was) and poke her in the ribs, ouch! I can still feel the pain.

Years have passed but the dislike of being poked hasn't. Even on Facebook they have a "poking" feature. I don't respond. Who wants to be poked even in Cyber Space? Not me. No way. No poking people... I don't even play Poker. Just for that reason. And that I don't know how to play.

Chris came home from vacation with the perfect shirt for me. Isn't this great? I think it was one of those she HAD to buy, and I think she probably laughed her head off at the check out counter. I would have.

Thanks Chris. Now I have a shirt to visit my brother with.

It's Been Awhile...............



I haven't really had anything to blog about for awhile and thought I may as well give this whole thing up because I'm not even sure I have any readers other than Barb, Valerie and my anonymous friend from Enon, Ohio (who are you anyways?)

But in the vain hopes that somebody else might read this..............here is the latest from the 'cat file'. 2 crazy guys who came to live with us last fall and have brought nothing but joy and laughter wherever they go. They're fun, very entertaining and very loving. Just what we wanted to complement our dog with issues. They celebrated their 1st Birthday on Canada Day!
