Sunday Funnies # 10, Dear Tide...................

An oldie but a goodie!!!!

Dear Tide...

I am writing to say what an excellent product you have! I've used it all of my married life, as my Mom always told me it was the best. Now that I am in my fifties I find it even better! In fact, about a month ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse. My inconsiderate and uncaring husband started to belittle me about how clumsy I was, and generally started becoming a pain in the neck.

One thing led to another and somehow I ended up with his blood on my new white blouse! I grabbed my bottle of Tide with bleach alternative, to my surprise and satisfaction, all of the stains came out!

In fact, the stains came out so well the detectives who came by yesterday told me that the DNA tests on my blouse were negative and then my attorney called and said that I was no longer considered a suspect in the disappearance of my husband. What a relief!

Going through menopause is bad enough without being a murder suspect! I thank you, once again, for having a great product.

Well, gotta go, have to write to the Hefty bag people.

Have a great Sunday!!!! :-) :-)

Sunday Funnies # 9, How to Fail A Test With Dignity

How to fail a test with dignity........................

That pretty much covers it!!!! :-)

Maybe I should charge them rent...........

What a beautiful day!!!

I decided that I couldn't just sit around the house, so out I went to do a few chores. First on my list was cleaning up the flower garden in front of the house.

While I was trimming the bushes I found this.........................

Maybe I should have been charging them rent????

Facebook: A tool of the devil???

Ok, as I've mentioned before, I'm a little behind the times electronically.

A couple of months ago Michael started talking about his Facebook account.

OK, stop the presses. My husband has a Facebook account and I didn't even know about it? This cannot continue, so I sign up for Facebook.

I visit the site, chat a little, make some friends, life is good. Then I start getting invitations to Farmville. I can start my own farm? Who knew.

Well, I say to myself (I talk to myself alot. Is that bad?)there is absolutely no reason for someone to be on Facebook that much. Taking all that time to start a farm just seems silly.

And those quizes. What's up with that? I'm never going to do something so silly as to take a quiz on Facebook.

OK. Fast forward a couple of months. To date I have:

Taken several quizes
Started my own fishtank in Fish World. In fact, I now have 3 tanks.
Own my own Cafe.
I'm now running an amusement park.
AND...........................




I now have a zoo with over 40 animals in it which is worth $284, 000.00. I've even bread a Bald Eagle.

It's the devil. I know it is!!!!! :-)

Old Photo Wednesday # 12, Those were the days......

I found these pictures in a long forgotten box on the shelf the other day. This is one of the first camping trips we took as a family.

Location: Creston, IA

Date: Unknown, I'm guessing about 1983 or 84. Cindy is pretty young.

We all look so young!!!! :-)

Sunday Funnies # 8, The Brown Noser

I think this pretty much speaks for itself.

:-)

CSI San Jon????? or What the heck happened here?

What the heck indeed.

Michael and I went back to San Jon NM to clean out his dad's house and hopefully get it sold. Got to San Jon on the 22nd and this is the first thing we saw when we opened the front door.

We knew right away that something was wrong. Note the cabinet doors and drawers that are open. We didn't leave things that way when we left in August.

So....................we went further into the house and saw this.

And..............

Yep, as much as we didn't want to accept it, someone had broken into the house. But the worst was yet to come.

Milo's beloved train layout had been destroyed and all the rolling stock (cars, engines, etc.) were missing along with some large pieces of the scene. The whole family loved that layout and one of our main objectives in making the trip was to bring the layout back to Omaha for Brandon. Doug and Brandon were already making plans for the layout along with additions they wanted to make. I was speechless and knew Brandon was going to be devestated.

We called the Quay County Sheriff's department and Ben, a deputy on the force and good friend of Milo's arrived on the scene to investigate.

Dusting for prints

Discovering the point of entry.

As of the date of this post, we have gotten no news on anything that may have been recovered. We are guessing nothing will ever be found.

They got away with alot of "stuff", but the only thing that really mattered to us was the train. A reward is going to be offered.

We brought back as much train stuff as we could. Doug and Brandon will use it to start to rebuild. The legacy will continue in our memories of Milo and all the fun he gave us. They can never take that away.

But I will probably alway be mad. We are saying "if only". If only we had brought more pieces of the train back home with us in August. If only we had gone back to finish cleaning the house sooner. If only we had arranged for the Sheriff's office to check on the house regularly. So many "If onlys".

Life will go on. I just hope that whoever is responsible is caught before they can destroy other people's lives. We were lucky. Only stuff was taken. No damage was done to the house and no one was hurt. Others may not be so lucky.

On a brighter note, I saw Brandon tonight and he is disappointed but already making plans for the new layout. You just can't keep a good family down!!!!
