Friday Leland and Bonnie Brown went with us to Villisca to visit with Oliver and Mary Jo Herzberg and have coffee and Texas lemon pie.  Had a nice visit

Both of these are on wall at  Mary Jo and Oliver place.






If bacon kills you and smoking kills you, how come you smoke bacon to cure it?

GROANER’S CORNER:(( The new army recruit was given guard duty at 2 a.m. He did his best for a while, but at about 4 a.m. he went to sleep. He awakened to find the officer of the day standing before him.  Remembering the heavy penalty for being asleep on guard duty, this smart young man kept his head bowed for another moment and looked upward and reverently said, “A-a-a-men!”

1. If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

2. A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

3. Life's briefest moment is the time between reading the sign on the

freeway and realizing you just missed your exit.

4. No one ever says "It's only a game," when their team is winning.

5. You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.

6. A clear conscience is usually a sign of a poor memory.

7. After all is said and done, a hell of a lot more is said than done.

8. Always remember that one effective way to deal with things that want to eat you is to taste terrible.

9. The light at the end of the tunnel is usually a sign that says "No Exit."

10. If you must choose between two evils, choose the one you've never tried before.
