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!!
