Happy Groundhog Day
“The trouble with weather forecasting is
that it's right too often for us to ignore it
and wrong too often for us to rely on it.”

Today's riddle for seniors...Here
is the situation:
You are on a horse, galloping at a constant speed.
On your right side is a sharp drop-off.
On your left side is an elephant traveling at the same speed as you.
Directly in front of you is a galloping kangaroo and your horse is
unable to overtake it.
Behind you is a lion running at the same speed as you and the kangaroo.
What must you do to get out of this highly dangerous situation?
Think logically before you scroll down for the answer.
Quietly get off the merry-go-round and go home!
Thanks, Judy Dearest!

From Wayne Agee
('58) of FL - 02/01/16 - "Potato
Chips":
Bring Potato Chips
A little boy wanted to meet
God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his
suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a six-pack of root beer and
started his journey.
When he had gone about three
blocks, he met an old man. He was sitting in the park, just staring at
some pigeons. The boy sat down next to him and opened his suitcase.
He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the
old man looked hungry, so he offered him some chips. He gratefully
accepted it and smiled at him.
His smile was so pretty that the
boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer. Again, he
smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon
eating and smiling, but they never said a word.
As twilight approached, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up
to leave; but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned
around, ran back to the old man, and gave him a hug. He gave him his
biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his
mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him,
“What did you do today that made you so happy?”
He replied, “I had lunch with God.”
But before his mother could
respond, he added, “You know what? He’s got the most beautiful smile
I’ve ever seen!”
Meanwhile, the old man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His
son was stunned by the look of peace on his face and he asked, “Dad,
what did you do today that made you so happy?”
He replied, “I ate potato chips in
the park with God.”
However, before his son responded,
he added, “You know, he’s much younger than I expected.”
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a
listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all
of which have the potential to turn a life around.
People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime!
Embrace all equally!
Have lunch with God…….bring chips.
Thank
you, Wayne!
That's beautiful! |

garlic and onions covered with chicken broth..."

Standing in the shadows of love
Waitin' for the heartaches to come
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
I'd run but there's no where to go
'Cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love, the love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
'Cause you've taken away all me reasons for livin'
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving
Now wait a minute
Didn't I teach you right, didn't I?
Didn't I do the best I could, didn't I?
So don't you leave me standin' in the shadow of love
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadow of love
Just tryin' my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
All alone I'll desperately be
With misery my only company
Come today, in fact come tomorrow
Sorrow, I ain't got nothin' but sorrow
Don't your conscience bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you
Now hold a minute
Gave you all the love I had, didn't I?
When you needed me I was there, now wasn't I?
(Standing in the shadows of love
Gettin' ready for the heartaches to come)
I've tried not to cry out loud
No gal you ain't gonna help me now
What did I do to cause all this grief
Now what'd I say to make you want to leave
Now wait a minute
I gave my heart and soul to you, didn't I?
Now didn't I always treat you good, didn't I?
I'm Standing in the shadows of love
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come
Hope to see you standing in the shadows of love
Tryin' my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of... [Fade] |
