My toes tell me that too.

I just finished watching the movie "Night At The Museum" and quite liked it. It was a bit on the corny side but at least it was clean cut and one that children could watch with no problems.

Well, we gave our talks today on marriage and everyone seemed to like them quite a bit. I am including in this blog a copy of a humourus story that Cheryl told. I think for the most part you will like it.

We went out to our Son-in-law and daughters house that they are building. It is coming along nicely but a lot slower than they expected. Isn't that always the case though. It will be very nice when it is finished.

Saturday I cleaned up on the yard quite a bit, mowed the grass, tried to get a better watering system working and dreamed of going fishing. I was so tired Saturday night that when the kids all arrived to spend the weekend I just said, "Good to see you and good night."

It is Sunday night now and I am still very tired so I will say goodbye for today and hope this finds you all doing well.

CURTAIN RODS----PRICELESS

She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates
and suitcases.

On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.

On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candle-light, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water.

When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of the curtain rods.

She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days.

Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything; cleaning, mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were steam cleaned.

Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting.

Nothing worked!!!

People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit.

Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.

A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out and eventually even the local Realtors refused to return their calls.

Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going.

He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back.

Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day.

She agreed and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork.

A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home.........

And to spite the ex-wife, they even took the curtain rods!!!!!!

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU

Have a nice day everyone.

We saw night at the museum too...my son loved it. I thought it was OK - certainly it was good for the kiddos. I thought it was a bit corny for my tastes too..but it was ok.

I sorta did yard work this weekend...I went outside, started the burn pile, noted how hot it was and how many wasps are out now, and went back inside...checking the brush fire from the window from time to time.
