05/25/11, 4:58 PM - "American Idol tonight":
Just want
to let everyone know that our grandson's school won the
entry for Harris Teeter's new commercial that will be
aired on The American Idol tonight. Our grandson, Josh
is in the commercial. He will be the young man in the
produce department picking out some fresh fruit with a
cute little strawberry blond. He also did background
singing and music. Of course, WE have to brag a little.
Look for Josh tonight. Oh, the school won $10,000 for
winning.
J&J
WOWZERONI! HOW VERY EXCITING!
Thanks so much,
Sweetie-Pies!

From Dimples Dinwiddie Prichard ('58) of NC -
05/25/11:
Hi Carol and the Typhoon
Nation.... Yesterday morning I finished reading my Bible and watched the birds at the feeder and the squirrels chase the chipmunks ! I have a small wrought iron bistro table on the deck and had a round pot of chives growing on it. The squirrels kept climbing on the pot and reaching the feeder, which once on, they took a spin until they were flung off in whatever direction along with enough seed to feed them for the day. So I put the pot of chives beneath the iron mesh table in the little circle underneath the table halfway from the ground, 'cause squirrels don't like the smell of chives and I thought this would keep them off the table after I moved it.......! While I was watching, one of the squirrels squatted like a female dog and relieved itself right in the middle of the pot of chives; it was deliberate and done with spite. I just had to tell someone besides my husband and thought all Y'all would get a kick out of it. I had planned baked potatoes for dinner, with fresh chives of course, so I rushed out and turned on the hose and drowned the pee out of the chives and knocked the squirrels out of the trees with the jet setting on the hose. It was a moment of pure delight just seeing them being knocked out of the trees soaking wet. I laughed like a maniac and confirmed to my neighbor that I was indeed the crazy woman that she has always thought I was. Still getting chuckles, and the baked potato with sour cream and chives along with the steak for dinner was delicious ! In Raleigh this is considered having fun since squirrels are protected by the state. We can trap them and release them but we can't kill them. Getting a trap and will release them at the Governor's Mansion which is downtown ! She loves them so she should have them ! Maybe it will encourage her to change the law ! Dimples ![]() ![]() |
Little Prayer for you.
ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER QUICK
PRAYER Does God come first in your life? If so, stop what you are doing & send it to 12 people now. Watch what He does!

From
Glenn Dye
('60) of TX - 05/24/11 - "For the Older
Crowd Of course we are NOT old":
Does any of this sound
familiar? You don't have to be in the Older Crowd to enjoy this, but can pass it on to some "older" friends who will.
A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office.
"Is it true," she wanted to know, "that the medication you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?"" "Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her. There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied, "I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS.'" ------------------------------ An older gentleman was on the operating table awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, perform the operation. As he was about to get the anesthesia he asked to speak to his son. "Yes, Dad, what is it?" "Don't be nervous, son; do your best and just remember, if it doesn't go well, if something happens to me, your mother is going to come and live with you and your wife...." ------------------------------ Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it. ------------------------------ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. ------------------------------ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved. ------------------------------ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth, think of Algebra class. ------------------------------ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks. ------------------------------ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top. ------------------------------ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young. ----------------- ----------------------------- Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable. ------------------------------ First you forget names, then you forget faces. Then you forget to pull up your zipper. But it's worse when you forget to pull it down. ------------------------------ Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, it's called golf. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two guys, one old, one young, are pushing their carts around
Wal-Mart when they collide. ********************* (And this final one especially for me) "Lord, keep Your arm around my shoulder and Your hand over my mouth!"

Ballad of the Green Berets
Written and Performed by Sgt. Barry Sadler
Fighting soldiers
from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men we'll test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Trained to live, off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand to hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage deep, from the Green Beret
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men we'll test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her this last request
Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret
