BEAUTIFUL DAYS AND HOLIDAYS





Hello!  Good morning, my friends!

It's a beautiful day, that's what I'd been thinking.  
The sun finally beat the clouds out of the way.  
The birds are chirping an alarm because Daisy Dog stepped out.
The beeper's going off telling me the dryer is done and all those shirts are wrinkled 'cause I didn't quite make it in time.   And Sadie is happily chewing a shoe string, the black aglet dangling two bites from being swallowed!

Isn't it a beautiful day!   

The holidays are great too, aren't they?  We received a Happy Easter card in the mail from my third cousin Bridgett, what a sweet thing.  Then there's those barber salon plastic heads with brown eyes and tufts of hair given to Ian from his girlfriend from Kaye's Beauty College that on Easter day the boys took outside and used for target practice.  What a "holy" event!

As for myself, I found a misfit in a basket of Easter eggs.  White and dimpled it was.  A golf ball!

Speaking of holidays, while we lived in Elwood John also owned four acres in rural Noblesville which he passed twice a day to and from work.  So one April Fool's Day I put a "For Sale" sign on that property.   When he saw that sign he about came unglued braking and veering to enter the side ditch, then whipping it out of the ground and tossing it in the trunk!  Cha-ching!  I fooled him!

Then there's Groundhog Day.  Back around the first of the year John was exasperated with a co-worker who complains almost daily about the new president, President Trump.  Obviously she's a Democrat.  Her frustrated mantra is, "He's not my president!"

So later in the week at a morning meeting they were all talking about how Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow predicting six more weeks of winter.  In a feisty mood, "I don't put my confidence in a rodent", John told co-worker, "He's not my groundhog!" 

Anyway, it' a beautiful day.  I found my lost money in the washing machine.  What can I say, it's been laundered!

Good morning gracious God.

Please bless my friends with joy and peace.

BRIBING SISTERS

Laughing out loud, they were!  Firstborn son was reared back in his seat with his head to the sky laughing.  The shoulders of those with their backs to us were shaking.

Here we all were in the church's annexed kitchen with the remnants of a delicious and tasty pitch-in dinner behind us relaxing with good food in us.

Members of their table were laughing.
Members of our table were laughing.
We all wanted to know what the others were laughing at.

One of ours asked, "What's so funny?"
And one of theirs switched tables to get in on the joke.

Turns out there's a wealth of comedic anecdotes that I haven't tapped into yet which belong to a couple of sisters.  Who would've guessed!

Both had worked at Chic Cusine as young adult waitresses while attending State University.  After years of working under Dan The Man store manager, older sis didn't want to have to tell him she was quitting.  So she bribed younger sis to make a phone call pretending she was her!

What bribe would it take?  I don't know which is funnier, what older sis offered up?  that older sis didn't have nerve?  or that younger sis was willing to do it?  Any choice is a chuckle!

Keep in mind they were struggling college students and every penny counted ... younger sis took older sis's $30 bribe!
