Bill and Sam

I thought this was just too cute not to share.  I hope you enjoy it too.

Bill and Sam, two elderly friends, met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems.

One day Bill didn’t show up. Sam didn’t think much about it and figured maybe he had a cold or something. But after Bill hadn’t shown up for a week or so, Sam really got worried. However, since the only time they ever got together was at the park, Sam didn’t know where Bill lived, so he was unable to find out what had happened to him.

A month had passed, and Sam figured he had seen the last of Bill, but one day, Sam approached the park and — lo and behold! –there sat Bill! Sam was very excited and happy to see him and told him so. Then he said, ‘For crying out loud Bill, what in the world happened to you?’

Bill replied, ‘I have been in jail.’

‘Jail?’ cried Sam. ‘What in the world for?’

‘Well,’ Bill said, ‘you know Mary, that cute little blond waitress at the coffee shop where I sometime go?’

‘Yeah,’ said Sam, ‘I remember her. What about her?’

‘Well, one day she filed rape charges against me; and, at 89 years old, I was so proud that when I got into court, I pled ‘guilty’ ‘The damn judge gave me 30 days for perjury.

See I told you it was cute.  I sure hope you got a laugh out of it because laughter is good for the soul!!!!

This is what Memorial Day is all about

I’m sure lots of you have probably seen this in an email but I feel it is very important for everyone to see this and know what is going on.  God bless our service men and woman that have passed and those that are still with us!!!!

What’s wrong with this picture?

If you look closely at the picture above, you will note that all the Marines pictured are bowing their heads. That’s because they’re praying. This incident took place at a recent ceremony honoring the birthday of the corps, and it has the ACLU up in arms.

“These are federal employees,” says Lucius Traveler, a spokesman for the ACLU, “on federal property and on federal time. For them to pray is clearly an establishment of religion, and we must nip this in the bud immediately.”

When asked about the ACLU’s charges, Colonel Jack Fessender, speaking for the Commandant of the Corps said (cleaned up a bit), “Screw the ACLU.” GOD Bless Our Warriors.. Send the ACLU to France !

What’s wrong with the picture? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

We’re putting in an ADT Alarm System

My wife decided that we needed to check on having an alarm system put in our house.  Unfortunately, just because you’re trying to help someone doesn’t mean they won’t do anything wrong to us like break in when we’re not home.  I can’t imagine anyone doing something like that but could be someone they know that has been over to visit or something too.  You just can’t be too careful and that’s why I called ADT.    In fact, I might even have an ADT Alarm put in each apartment too.  That way we don’t have to worry about anyone breaking into one of the apartments if it’s empty too.

ADT Alarm Systems have long been known as one of the best security systems there are.  Not only are they wireless but they monitor your home 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.  You can’t ask for anything any better now can you?  ADT Security gives you just that, security.  Get this, you also get a digital keypad, key chain remote access, a motion detector, 3 points of protection, high decibel alarm siren to scare off most people before they even get in. Plus you also get battery backup, yard sign and window decals to make sure they know you have an alarm system and best of all, free standard installation.

Apartments coming right along

We have the floor down in the upstairs and all of the walls in except for the wiring and the drywall.  We decided to put registers in the floor for the heat to come upstairs from the downstairs and you can close them off in the summer and open the vents on the wall to let the cool air in the room.  I just hope the people will do that.  It will save a lot on the electricity.  One of the men from one of the churches is an electrician and he’s donating everything including materials and labor to wire everything.  What a great thing he is doing.

We also have the garage doors off and the walls and doors framed in.  We have already but up the outside walls and have the siding on them along with the front doors installed.   Of course everyone took the weekend off and will be back bright an early Monday morning.  I’m amazed at how fast everything is coming together.

Got a wonderful idea

As much as it has rained lately, I decided to get some rain barrels to harvest the rain water for the dry days when the garden needs watering.  I found a great selection of rain barrels at simplyrainbarrels.com.  They have some that have a faucet in the bottom of them that you can hook up a hose to so it’s easy to water the garden.  They even have some that look really nice to put at your down spouts from your gutters.  They look nice enough to put on the front of your house.  Now watch it stop raining as soon as I get them!  That would be my luck.  No not really, I am a very lucky man!
