Isurvived last week’s freezing temperatures, but just barely. I let our outside dogs, Kallie and Flaco, sleep with me to help keep me warm, and they appreciated it. This week’s weather is going up to the 70s and I sure am happy about that.
We usually have another cold front before Easter, so I’m not deluding myself thinking winter is over. And, worse yet, we have a late Easter this year on April 20.
One thing I’m most looking forward to is the time changing in two weeks on Sunday, March 9. Daylight Savings Time is my favorite even though we lose an hour of sleep. I like when it’s light out later.
The first day of spring is March 20 and I’m also looking forward to that. Hopefully shorts and t-shirt weather is not far away. I’m ready to buy some plants and plant some seeds. —kwc— This Saturday Rockdale Community Market opens at their new location at Big Papa’s Patio, 320 South Wilcox. There will be a ribbon cutting at 10 a.m. and all kinds of vendors, food and drinks. Come on out and bring the family. —kwc— A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six-year-olds. After explaining the commandment to ‘Honor thy father and thy mother,’ the teacher asked, “Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?”
Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, “Thou shall not kill.” —kwc— Two little boys were at sitting together in a church during a wedding ceremony.
As the couple said “I do”, one of the little boys leaned over to the other and asked, “I wonder how many wives can a man have?”
The second little boy looked at his friend like he was an idiot and said, “He can have 16 wives.”
“How do you know that?” The first little boy asked.
“Weren’t you listening? The priest just said it. Four better, four worse, four richer, and four poorer.” —kwc— It was Christmas and the judge was in a merry mood as he asked the prisoner, “What are you charged with?”
“Doing my Christmas shopping early”, replied the defendant.
“That’s no offense”, said the judge. “How early were you doing this shopping?”
“Before the store opened.” —kwc— Jesus, Moses, and an old bearded guy were playing golf. On the first tee, Moses shanked his ball into a lake. He parted the water and hit his ball onto the green.
Jesus teed off, hitting his ball into another water hazard. But he walked on water and stroked his ball just short of the cup.
Then the old man with the beard stepped up for his tee shot. He hit the ball with tremendous force, but hooked it badly. The ball bounced off the clubhouse roof, hit the cart path, and rolled down a hill into a pond, coming to rest on a lily pad. A frog hopped over and picked up the ball, then an eagle swooped down, snatched the frog, and flew over the green. The frog dropped the ball, and it rolled into the cup for a hole in one.
Moses turned to Jesus and said, “I hate playing golf with your dad.” —kwc— A preacher is hiking through the forest when he comes across a bear. Startled, the preacher begins to run and the bear gives chase. The bear catches up to the preacher who drops to his knees and prays “Please God, make this bear a Christian.” Just as the bear gets to the preacher it stops. It puts its paws together, looks to the sky, and says “Thank you lord, for this meal I am about to receive.”
