LIVE WELL AND LAUGH OFTEN!

Two 90-year-old women, Rose and Barb, had been friends all of their lives.
When it was clear that Rose was dying, Barb visited her every day.
One day Barb said, 'Rose, we both loved playing women's softball all our lives, and we played all through High School.
Please do me one favor: when you get to Heaven,
somehow you must let me know if there's women's soft-ball there.'
Rose looked up at Barb from her death bed and said,
'Barb, you've been my best friend for many years.
If it's at all possible, I'll do this favor for you.'
Shortly after that, Rose passed on.
At midnight the following Friday, Barb was awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to her, 'Barb, Barb.
''Who is it?' asked Barb, sitting up suddenly.
'Who is it?'
'Barb -- it's me, Rose.
''You're not Rose. Rose just died.
''I'm telling you, it's me, Rose,' insisted the voice.'
Rose! Where are you?
''In Heaven,' replied Rose.
"I have some really good news and a little bad news.
''Tell me the good news first,' said Barb.
The good news,' Rose said, 'is that there's Softball in Heaven.
Better yet, all of our old buddies who died before us are here, too.
Better than that, we're all young again.
Better still, it's always springtime, and it
never rains or snows.
And best of all, we can play softball all we want, and we never get tired.'
'That's fantastic,' said Barb.
'It's beyond my wildest dreams!
So what's the bad news?'
'You're pitching Tuesday.'
Life is short...So Remember to Live Well & Laugh Often!


My sister-in-law sent this to me and I thought it was cute...

So now I am off to the Craft Shows.
Each year at this time N.W. Arkansas has BIG
Craft Fairs all over the area.
So many of them that you can't go to all of them...
believe me I have tried!!!! (Just ask my Hubby)...

GRANDMA'S APRON...


The History Of The Apron

I don’t think our kids know what an apron is.

The principal use of Grandma’s apron was to protect the dress underneath.
Along with that it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven.
It was wonderful for drying children’s tears and on occasion it was even used for cleaning out dirty ears.
From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven.
When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids.
When the weather was cold Grandma wrapped it around her arms.
Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove.
Chips & kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron.
From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables.
After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls.
In the fall, the apron was used to bring in the apples that had fallen from the trees.
When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds.
When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron, and the men knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner.
It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that “old-time apron” that served so many purposes so well.
They would go crazy now trying to figure out how many germs were on that apron, but I don’t think anybody ever got sick from Grandma’s apron.
My friend Amy sent this to me. I can sure see my Grandmother when I read it.

HANK'S NEW SONG...

McCain - Palin Tradition
By Hank Williams Jr.

The left wing liberal media have
Always been a real close knit family
But, most of the American People
Don't believe em anyway ya see
Stop and think it over
Before you make your decision
If they smell something
They're gonna come down strong
It's a McCain - Palin tradition

Now this old Union's got problems
That is plain to see
The Democrats bankrupted Fannie Mae N Freddie Mac
Just like 1, 2, 3
The bankers didn't want to make all those bad loans,
But Bill Clinton said you got to
Now they want a bail out, what I'm talking about
Is a Democrat liberal who doo

CHORUS
John N Sarah tell ya
Just what they think
And they're not gonna blink
And they're gonna fix this country
Cause they're just like you N ole Hank
Yes John is a maverick
And Sarah fixed Alaska's broken condition
They're gonna go just fine
We're headed for better times
It's a McCain - Palin tradition

I am very proud of America's name
Bu no society is perfect
And we have had our stains
If I'm down at the coffee shop and
Somebody wants to give our flag friction
We say please move on
Cause we're standing strong
That's an old John McCain tradition

CHORUS
John N Sarah tell ya
Just what they think
And they're not gonna blink
And they're gonna fix this country
Cause they're just like you N ole Hank
Yes John is a maverick
And Sarah fixed Alaska's broken condition
They're gonna go just fine
We're headed for better times
It's a McCain - Palin tradition

Some are bound to tell you I'm
Preaching to the choir
And that is very true
And we are going even higher
Like a mama bear in Idaho
She'll protect your family's condition
If you mess with her cubs
She's gonna take of the gloves
It's an American female tradition

CHORUS
John N Sarah tell ya
Just what they think
And they're not gonna blink
And they're gonna fix this country
Cause they're just like you N ole Hank
Yes John is a maverick
And Sarah fixed Alaska's broken condition
They're gonna go just fine
We're headed for better times
It's a McCain - Palin tradition
