I thought so!



An Irishman goes into the confessional box after years of being away from the Church.

There's a fully equipped bar with Guinness on tap. On the other wall is a dazzling array of the finest cigars and chocolates.

Then the priest comes in.
"Father, forgive me, for it's been a very long time since I've been to confession, but I must first admit that the confessional box is much more inviting than it used to be.
"The priest replies: "Get out. You're on my side."

And yet another lost visitor!


I could not believe my eyes yesterday afternoon! I was walking down the driveway and lo and behold, six Canadian Geese were walking across the driveway too!
They must have a faulty GPS! Not a sign of any water in our front yard. Yes, the pond is still there, but it is totally covered in snow!
These three families are surely scouts for the rest of the southern flock!
Maybe they know something that we don't know!

Guess Who!




Guess who I saw yesterday!
You got it..I saw the very first Robin of the season.
Dare I hope?
You bet your bird I do!

I mean seriously!



If you were around in the year 1919 (just before prohibition started) and saw this poster


I mean seriously, would you quit drinking?? ...

My "Above and Beyond" List


I am starting a list of people that can not only do the jobs they are paid to do, but to do them so well that you forget about the lousy services that you have come to accept.
Left is Holly Lewis, V.P. and Manager of the First American Midland Title Insurance office in Wadsworth and Right is Frieda DiStaulo, Sales and Marketing rep.
My last real estate transaction was handled by these two outstanding professionals and my Kudos go out to them.
My thanks to you both until you are better paid. Problems, no problem to the two of them. Hysteria? Not a breath of it was ever relayed to my client or to me. Calm, curteous, quiet, full of humor and grace. I just want to say thank you to them both. They get the above and beyond award for the month of February!
The fact that they are two country girls is only a bonus!

Heaven help us! (Thanks Linda of Louisville)


Subject: The Cowboy

A cowboy appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. "Have you ever done anything of particular merit?"

St. Peter asked. "Well, I can think of one thing," the cowboy offered. "On a trip to the Black Hills, out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of bikers who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen. So, I approached the largest and most tattooed biker and smacked him in the face, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground. I yelled, 'Now, back off or I'll kick the s - - t out of all of you!'"

St. Peter was impressed, "When did this happen?" "Couple of minutes ago."
