Ed fell two weeks ago, nothing broken - but does use a walker and is staying home a lot !!!

Katie needs some alone time..............HELP !!! Just Kidding ???

The victory celebration was short-lived.

• Your laugh for the day !!!

I stopped at McDonald’s on Saturday to pick up a Diet Coke and a Diet Dr Pepper.

Both drive-up lanes were very busy with a number of cars in each lane.

I waited for my turn, then pulled up to the speaker and waited to hear from the attendant.

I waited and waited; meanwhile cars in the other lane are no doubt being waited on.

After the 2nd car in the other lane was waited on, I called out, “Can I get Some Help?”

Still “NO ANSWER” and cars in the adjoining lane are being waited on.

My patience was running thin, but before I asked a 2nd time for help —


I REALIZED MY WINDOW WAS UP —— DUH !!!


To add insult to injury, as I drove off I realized my back window was open.


Deer Hunters:

Earl Wirtz was absent today, he's up North hunting for Bambi.

Dave Benjamin will miss next Monday, as he too will be up North hunting for Bambi.
