The BEST halloween 'trick' I have ever had!!!!!
We normally get many people outside of our neighborhood that come to the door on this scary night, so I lay in the 'good stuff' for all (thank 99cent only store...lol!)

The Cat Came Back The Very Next Day...
A man absolutely hated his wife's cat and decided to get rid of him one day by driving him 20 blocks from his home and leaving him at the park.

My daughter in law is newly diagnosed with IBC
Last Friday my daughter in law was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer. Tomorrow she is getting a shunt put in to be able to start the chemo. They don't have very good Internet access, so I think right now, it would probably be more of an aggravation than getting verbal knowledge. Today, she and my son are telling…

Sunday School...
PALM SUNDAY: It was Palm Sunday and, because of a sore throat, five-year-old Johnny stayed home from church with a sitter. When the family returned home, they were carrying several palm brances. The boy asked what they were for. "People held them over Jesus' head as he walked by," "Wouldn't you know it?" the boy fumed.…
