Joke of the week

Got this from one of the ladies I work with in Killeen.

Church

One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names with small American flags mounted on either side of it. The seven year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, "Good morning Alex." Good morning "Pastor, what is this?" he asked the pastor. The pastor said, "Well, son, it's a memorial plaque to all the young men and women who died in the Service "Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear, asked "Which service, the 8:30 or the 10:45.

Off to A&M

We moved Kristin off to College Station for her last year at A&M yesterday. It was sad to see her go. We had an adventurous summer with Sadie our grand dog keeping things exciting and we will miss her as well. The house is so quiet. Kristin will have to fend for herself this year since brother Matt married Tiffany and moved to Arkansas. Just two more semesters and it is off to the big world.

Lori is spending her off time painting. She and Kristin painted the guest room by themselves and did a super job. Her next project started today, painting the grand kids room.

We spent last weekend with Michael and Ryan with a fun afternoon in Uncle Steve's pool. Check out Michael's blog for pictures. All I have to say is that Mr. Ryan knows who his Paw Paw is. Just ask and he will point at me and say those magical words, Paw Paw. Awesome!!

Matt and Tiffany get Married

Matt and Tiffany were married in Amarillo Texas on June 30, 2007. It was easy to see that they are very much in love with each other. It was a great event from the rehearsal dinner to the wedding to the reception. Matt and Tiff are very blessed with loving family and friends.

We last heard from them as they were seated on the flight from Miami to San Juan. Their plane was late and they barely made the flight. They were unsure if their luggage is going to make it on their flight. Who needs luggage on a honeymoon anyway.

U.S. adults age 21 and older on average drank more than 30 gallons of beer in all of 2006, up slightly from 2005. Americans drink more beer on the Fourth of July than on any other day during the year, according to the Beer Institute.



Thats 320 beers a year.

Funny Story

ENJOY! THIS SAYS IT ALL!

On the first day, God created the dog and said: "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years. "The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?" So God agreed. On the second day, God created the monkey and said: "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span. "The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?" And God agreed. On the third day, God created the cow and said: "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years. "The cow said: "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?" And God agreed again. On the fourth day, God created man and said: "Eat, sleep, play,marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years." But man said: "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?" "Okay," said God, "You asked for it."So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grand children. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone. Life has now been explained to you!
