For much of her bartending shift, my wife had to contend with

Our neighbor brought over a delicious homemade meal, eliciting this comment from my daughter: “No offense, Mom, but Kristi’s dinner makes you look like a really bad mother.”

“Why not?”
“He died.”

My grandmother called to tell me she’d gotten an e-mail account. “Great,” I said. “Send me a message so I’ll have your e-mail address.” I waited and waited, but she never sent it. Several days later, an envelope arrived—Grandma had written her info on a piece of paper and mailed it to me.

Good morning everyboomie.
My granddad used to pump milk right from the cow to our mouths.
It was very warm.....yuk!
I like my milk colder than a witche's...you know what. Especially if you're a witch.

How long now till we fall back??
Have a happy day everyone.
