"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." -Walt Disney- ------------------- Remember all of the men & women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Thank you. We will never forget. by JimMcCue ------------------- Soldiers in Heaven Little Jake asked his mother during the Memorial Day Parade: "Mamma, don't soldiers ever go to heaven?" "Of course they do!" protested his mother. "What makes you ask?" "There are so many soldiers with beards but I never saw any pictures of angels with beards." he replied . The mother responded "Oh, that's because most vets who go to Heaven get there by a close shave." ------------- Q: What do French recruits learn in basic training? A: How to surrender in 17 different languages. ------------ Q: How does the recipe for German chocolate cake begin? A: First, invade ze kitchen. ------------ A small boy was staring at the names on the wall of an old church Long when the pastor noticed him. “What are you looking at?” asked the clergyman. “All those names. Who are they?” the boy asked. The pastor nodded, and said, “They are the reason we have Memorial Day. They are those who died in the service.” The little boy considered that, then asked quietly, “The 9 o’clock service or the 11 o’clock?” ------------- My great-grandfather fought with Napoleon, my grandfather fought with the French and my father fought with the Americans…. My ancestors couldn’t get along with anyone. ------------- Did you hear about the popcorn that joined the army?… They made him a kernel. ------------ What are the two main rules in the Army?… 1. The commanding officer is always right. 2. If the commanding officer is not right, see #1. -------------- Did you hear about the guy who put little G.I. Joe soldiers at the bottom of his coffee cup?… He’d heard that the best part of waking up is soldiers in your cup! -------------- Where did the General put his armies?… In his sleevies. (get it his sleeves)? ------------- What was General Washington’s favorite tree?…The infan-tree! ------------- Teacher: “More than 200 years ago, our forefathers defeated the British in the Revolutionary War.”… Little Timmy: “Wow! They must have been pretty strong, four men defeating a whole army!” ------------- A Great American Book Never Written: “The Parts of the National Anthem” by Homer D. Brave. ----------- Best War of 1812 Book Never Written:… “The Star- Spangled Banner” by Jose Kanusee. ----------- Teacher: Johnny, what are the last words of “The Star-Spangled Banner”?… Johnny: “Play ball”? ------------------------------ Good morning everyboomie. I hope this morning finds everyone well. My morning started out nice enough. I had my breakfast and coffee, and then took Missy parking. When we got back I started trying to do some stuff out in the back, but we had more rain last night and it's already heated up enough that I was starting to feel like a rose in a hot oven..........or maybe it's a Lilley in a hot oven. I looked at our weather for the next 10 days and it's almost nothing but heat and thunderstorms. We have huge rain chances for the next 12 days actually. Bummer! I could stand the heat if it would just dry up. Soot I think it's cool that you got to visit Australia. We were going to get to go there when I was in the Navy, because our ship was named after the late Prime Minister of Australia, Harold E Holt. The trip was canceled at the last minute due to the Vietnam War operations. We did get to make a trip to Alaska for a month on a good will tour with our sister ship, which was absolutely awesome! Nobody on the ship wanted to return to Hawaii. I wish everyone a super fantastic Memorial day and a great week. joe

Signs of Spring for me 1. Finally took the tarp off my lawn chairs; now I just need to find someone to do some repair work to my patio and I can use them! 2. Association removed a bunch of dead bushes with no immediate plans to replace them. Lots of room for my whirlygigs; 6 of them spinning away. Love that my home is the only one with them. 3. Snow and ice gone; replace with with storms and hail. 4. Not looking forward to expected humidity as Summer arrives, but I'll take it! Heat's easier for me than the cold.
Life's a puzzle; one piece at a time.

It's 88 degrees here and humid. Looks like summer is on its way! It's a working weekend for me but just till noon everyday so I still have plenty of time for fun. They are all forest preserve hikes and not neighborhood walks so I enjoy them. Taintedfury, good luck on your tests! be back...

Wishing you all a wonderful Memorial Day. My dad served, my husband served, my daughter is currently serving. Son has been in the kitchen for hours working on dinner tonight. I thought it sounded quick and easy, but guess I was wrong! I had a very hot and humid walk this morning. I'm like you Butterflybabe. I don't mind heat, but humidity is the pitts. I didn't mind it when I was young, but once I left and came back, I've cannot seem to adjust like I did when I was young.

Good evening fellow Diner Boomers Little Soot and I were up at the crack of dawn ... our morning routine during the work week ... got our two miles and ball sprints in B4 the rain ... then it was hurry on over to the NC to get some grits, bacon and toast from Connie and stopping by Gerry's to get a tall roast before Family's court shows came on knowing L4L would follow in our steps and wrap up everything up with a howdy hello to SpaceQuestFan too. TaintedFury, enjoy a marvelous sleep ... catch you in the AM. L4L Have a wonderful evening Joe Ana Family SpaceQuestFan Gerry Connie L4L manXman ButterFlyBabe Trail_Mystic Mary TaintedFury and anyone else who pops in to say hi
