Take Flight

Love this cartoon of an airplane - a child's version - really great. Taking flight can mean a lot of things - to me, today, it means "getting out of here". Had a difficult week and have only been out to the acupuncturist on Wednesday. Will go out and do just a couple of messages - unable to walk around much yet but I'm definitely getting better, slowly but surely.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Joke for the Day: A young and foolish pilot wanted to sound cool on the aviation frequencies. So, this was his first time approaching a field during the nighttime. Instead of making any official requests to the tower, he said: "Guess who?"The controller switched the field lights off and replied: "Guess where?"

Hard Work Is Good For You

We all benefit from hard work. Since this vertigo thing got out of hand John has kindly taken over things I cannot do: vacuuming, changing the bed, etc... I am able to do light dusting and washing dishes, etc... I feel so badly about John doing all this extra work, over and above all the yard work, etc.., that I entered a contest to win one year of house cleaning - boy, that would be great!!! Thank you, John, for all you do for me -- I really do appreciate it.

Joke for the Day: There were two guys working for the city. One would dig a hole -- he would dig, dig, dig.The other would come behind him and fill the hole -- fill, fill, fill. These two men worked furiously; one digging a hole, the other filling it up again.A man was watching from the sidewalk and couldn't believe how hard these men were working, but couldn't understand what they were doing. Finally he had to ask them.He said to the hole digger, "I appreciate how hard you work, but what are you doing? You dig a hole and your partner comes behind you and fills it up again!"The hole digger replied, "Oh yeah, must look funny, but the guy who plants the trees is sick today."

Farmer Jokes

I love farmer jokes, as long as they are "clean". Today's joke is a farmer joke; very funny but also teaches us a lesson about what happens when you are arrogant.

Have had a difficult few days with the vertigo - it's always there but there are definitely worse days than others. Seems to be a little better today; hope it stays that way.

Joke for the Day: A cocky State Highways employee stopped at a farm and talked with an old farmer. He told the farmer, "I need to inspect your farm for a possible new road."The old farmer said, "OK, but don't go in that field." The Highways employee said, "I have the authority of the State Government to go where I want. See this card? I am allowed to go wherever I wish on farm land."So the old farmer went about his farm chores.Later, he heard loud screams and saw the State Highways employee running for the fence and close behind was the farmer's prize bull. The bull was madder than a nest full of hornets and the bull was gaining on the employee at every step!!The old farmer called out, "Show him your card!!"

A Good Laugh Is Great Medicine

Medical research has discovered two very interesting things: If someone is prayed for, even if they don't believe in God or prayer, the vast majority of those prayed for improve. If you laugh a lot whatever ails you feels better. So, today I have selected a bunch of "one-liners" to make you laugh in hopes that it will make us all feel better. Don't forget to pray for someone who is in need.

Joke of the Day:
Three men walked in to a bar. You think one of them would have seen it!

Do you believe in love at first sight or do I have to walk by you again?

You know you're really drunk if you can't lie on the floor without holding on.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you!

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to commit suicide, is that considered a hostage crisis?

Dining Out

Nice to eat out once in a while at a nice restaurant. We do it very rarely. Extremely enjoyable.

My back, as I've said, has improved since starting acupuncture. Well, yesterday my back was feeling quite well and I wasn't terribly dizzy so I actually pulled a bunch of weeds; haven't done that in a very long while.

Today's joke is a little rude but I laughed so hard when I read it I couldn't resist. Apologies to John.

Joke of the Day: A man and his girlfriend were out to dinner one night. The waiter tells them the night's special is chicken almondine and fresh fish. "The chicken sounds good; I'll have that," the woman says. The waiter nods. "And the vegetable?" he asks. "Oh, he'll have the fish," she replies.

A Gorgeous Weekend Ahead

We are going to have a most glorious weekend. Clear, sunny skies and warm temperatures. Looking forward to it very much. We are planning a nice lunch out one of these days too.

My back has been great since I went to the Acupuncturist on Wednesday - a little sore this morning - but overall a great result. Never thought I would say this: Yay for needles!!!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Joke for the Day: Three old ladies are sitting in a diner, chatting about various things. One lady says, "You know, I'm getting really forgetful. This morning, I was standing at the top of the stairs, and I couldn't remember whether I had just come up or was about to go down." The second lady says, "You think that's bad? The other day, I was sitting on the edge of my bed, and I couldn't remember whether I was going to bed or had just wakened up!" The third lady smiles smugly. "Well, my memory's just as good as it's always been, knock on wood." She raps the table. With a startled look on her face, she asks, "Who's there?!"

Weather Change - Again

Well, we have storms all over the West right now and, again, the temperature has cooled down about 20 degrees. Lots of wind and rain. We really need the rain, though, so no one is complaining.

Just love today's joke - hope you do too.

Joke for the Day: Two bats are hanging in their cave. One turns to the other and says, "Oh, I'm really thirsty for some fresh blood."The other bat is amazed and says, "Well, it’s a bit late. Daylight is almost here, and we can't be exposed to any light - you know we'll die." "Yeah, I know," says the first bat, "but I'm really starving for it."So he flies out of the cave and returns five minutes later with blood dripping from his mouth."You lucky thing. Where'd you find blood that quick?" asked the second bat."You see that tree over there in the distance?" mumbled the bat, his mouth full of blood."Yeah, I think I do!""Well, I didn't."

Acupuncturist, Here I Come!

Have appointment today to have needles stuck into various parts of my body and I can hardly wait. Last week I felt so much better for about three days - hoping for longer this week. Not only my back felt better but I had more energy and was generally in a better mood with a more positive attitude. Being cooped up for over six months does not make for motivation or inspiration so I have high hopes for acupuncture based on my first treatment.

Joke for the Day: Q. Where did the Egyptian Mummy go to get her back fixed?

Surgery Went Fine

My mother-in-law, Florence, has been in the hospital since Easter Sunday. It has taken two weeks to get her into a safe position to have a clot removed from her leg. They finally were able to do the surgery yesterday and, Praise God, all went well. We are very thankful as if it had not gone well they would have removed her foot. So, thank you Lord!

Joke for the Day: A man is recovering from surgery when the Surgical Nurse appears and asks him how he is feeling. "I'm O. K. but I didn't like the four letter-words the doctor used in surgery," he answered. "What did he say," asked the nurse. "Oops!"

Blog Unplugged

Power is an interesting thing - it can give you what you want or need or it can all be taken away ----- just like that!

Today's joke, although very funny, made me think about how much we take for granted. I walk into a room and flip a switch and a light goes on. The heat from our furnace just "magically" turns on when needed. But it also made me think about power - the kind of power men crave and abuse. People with wonderful intentions and ideas suddenly turn into despots filled with their own importance and power. We must always be careful of whatever power we have, however little, that we do not misuse it.

Joke for the Day: A man and his wife were sitting in the living room discussing a“Living Will”"Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug."His wife got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all the beer.

Beautiful Disaster

The volcano in Iceland has displaced many people in that country, has caused many people to be stranded in airports all over the world, is very dangerous and unpredictable but it is also spectaculary beautiful.

April Showers

We will be getting rain all week. We really need it too. It is dry as a bone here right now - great risk of fire too as it is windy most afternoons and evenings. Has been beautiful all week but I'm willing to sacrifice that for the rain we really need.

Joke for the Day: A dog thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me... They must be gods! A cat thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me... I must be a god!

Simplicity

The title and the photo don't appear to match but it will make sense soon enough.

Acupuncture has given me more energy for the day of and following day and seems so, but less, today. My back has been sore but definitely better. Overall, I am a happy camper.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Today's joke: funny, and --- true.

Joke for the Day: During the initial space flights, Nasa discovered that biro pens didn’t work under zero gravity conditions. To beat the problem, Nasa spent 6 years and $2 million in designing a pen for use in space. The pen would work under zero gravity conditions due to the pressurized ink inside, it would work under sub zero conditions, underwater, on glass and virtually any surface known to man. The Russians used a pencil.

Spring

Love this cartoon. Really is funny how we are so reliant on our cell phones and take them so for granted and then totally freak out when they do not perform perfectly. That's just the way we are.

Everything is crisp, clean, and blooming. Everyone is enjoying the weather and sneezing. But truly it is awesome. With all the warm weather we have been having we still have snow on the tops of the mountains nearby - very unusual, especially since we have be in the high 70's for days now.

Had more energy yesterday afternoon and evening after acupuncture and feeling quite cheerful today. My back is sore but not terrible - I have great hopes for this treatment.

DON'T FORGET TO FILE YOUR TAXES BEFORE MIDNIGHT TODAY!

Acupuncture Is Very Cool

Qi (pronounced "chee"), meridians, etc... Very interesting. The doctor and I are hoping for a good response to today's treatment. I will see her again next Wednesday; I'm actually looking forward to it. We will be addressing several medical conditions -- there is hope. Will keep you posted.

Just laughed out loud when I read this joke; hope you enjoy it too.

Joke of the Day: A woman decided to have her portrait painted. She told the artist, "Paint me with diamond rings, a diamond necklace, emerald bracelets, a ruby broach, and gold Rolex.""But you are not wearing any of those things," he replied."I know," she said. "It's in case I should die before my husband. I'm sure he will remarry right away, and I want his new wife to go crazy looking for the jewelry."

New Week

Can hardly believe that our youngest granddaughter turned 7 months old a week ago. Little ones grow and change so fast. We miss living close enough to be a part of her everyday life; who knows, in the future that may change (from my lips to God's ear).

Going to be in high 70's all week and windy. It has been lovely all weekend. Spring is upon us and maybe summer a little early by the sound of this week's forecast.

Back is still a real problem - can hardly wait to see the Acupuncturist on Wednesday.

Joke for the Day: We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk, and the next Twenty-four years telling them to sit down and shut up!

Joke provided by: ajokeaday.com

Beautiful Day

The weather is just gorgeous today. Should be in low 70's.

Back is slightly better. Really looking forward to appointment with acupuncturist on Wednesday.

Just love this joke!

Joke for the Day: Seems an elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years.He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%. The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased you can hear again."To which the gentleman said, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will five times!"

And It Goes On...

And so it goes. Will not blog tomorrow. Just wanted you to know I am alive and shuffling.

No Blog for a While

Back out again. Will not blog until it is a lot better - hoping to see an Acupuncturist as soon as I can.
Have a great week.

The Tomb Is Empty

He is Risen! Alleluia!!

"For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten

Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not

perish but have everlasting life."

John 3:16

Holy Saturday

The cross is empty. He is in Joseph of Arimithea's tomb.

The last day of Lent - the day before Easter.

Good Friday

What can you say about our God who sent Jesus for this day - to take our place and die for our sins so that we would not be separated from God. He is our All, our Everything. Praise His Name.

Maundy Thursday

He met them all for Passover Seder - he washed their feet - he shared the bread (His body) and wine (His blood) with them. He went with them to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. They all fell asleep except for Him. He asked God if He really had to do this. Then, Judas betrayed Him. He was arrested. And, it began.
