I WAS WONDERING…
if the warm sunny California weather would ever get here. Well, it skipped the warm part and went straight to hot. But sunny is great. It brightens our spirits.
Today the movie stars and sports celebrities get to take a step backwards so we can admire the real superstars; the first respondents; nurses and doctors working overtime to save lives and there are many people who leave their safe homes to assure food for us. There are thousands of people working to protect us for a fraction of the salary celebrities earn.
Perhaps in the past we’ve dismissed the ordinary person who is making a difference in the lives of others. There are so many. I’d like to see some of their pictures on a magazine cover.
YOU KNOW YOU’RE GETTING OLD …
When you have three sizes of clothes in your closet.
What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
You miss the days when everything worked with an ON or OFF switch.
KEEP A HAPPY FACE
Its okay to send back a dish that isn’t par to your expectations. It wasn’t cheap.
Avoid things that make you fat, like scales, mirrors and photographs.
ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
The game was over. The players were in the locker room preparing to go home. Some guys were on the phone with their love ones chatting about their big win.
“Hi Honey,” John heard on the other end of the line. “I know how you were looking forward to eating at that new restaurant tonight but the girls want me to go to the movies with them. Do you mind if I go?”
“I don’t mind,” John answered.
“Oh, Thank you. You’re such a dear.”
John laid the phone back on the bench and yelled. “Does anyone know who this phone belongs to?”
BEST ADVICE I ONCE RECEIVED
Write it down and date it
Forgive others
Forgive yourself
HINTS FOR SOUP
If canned soups are too salty, cook with a raw potato to absorb the salt.
Sauté vegetables before adding to soup. They will be tastier.
PUNCH LINE
Only the electric company has the power to make everyone see the light.
He was fired because of illness. His boss was sick of him.
