I bet you could give a good answer.....just think what your wife says sometimes when she puts her blue jeans on or......what you say...LOL!

[jaycee]

AMEN for sure!

...and speaking of old Navy Vets, Our church has planned a fantastic Veteran's Day program at the two morning services on Nov 9th.

Here's just one item from the agenda... A choir of Vets will be singing "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" and "Mansions of the Lord". So far, 50+ vets have signed up for the choir. I've been practicing the bass part. Don't have the musical score, I'm just trying to pull the part out of recordings I've been listening to. Probably wouldn't do me any good to have the score, cuz my eyes go all fuzzy singing the songs.

Some of us lay down to put on our jeans,

Some of us jump up and down into them,

And, some just give up,

And go for the mu-mu.

On that many years from enlistment, I say........

LJ, thank you so much for posting the tree of life! It is so meaningful, and one to print up and frame.

[jaycee]

Hi Lady, Boy, thats green huh? How are you today? Any news about you brother in law? I hate to ask but sometimes I could miss something although I’ve been here pretty much today! I wish him peace, whatever it is.

[jaycee]

Now thats what I’m talking about...LOL>>>

[jaycee]

And then you’re afraid to go out to eat because they will become tighter and tighter and then you suffer and sometimes we unbutton and unzip a little until we start to get up again.

[yorkie]

Yup - back in the ‘good’ old days, we would go “Skinny - Dipping”. Now, we go “Chunky Dunkin’”. LOL!

[MEG33]

Wonderful..Thank you, Lady J..

[Diver Dave]

I bet you could give a good answer.....just think what your wife says sometimes when she puts her blue jeans on or......what you say...LOL!

Nope! Not even gonna go there. :)

[jaycee]

LOL.......We understand!

[Diver Dave]

Thank You.
A recruiter a couple years ago wouldn’t let me re-enlist. Something about “You’re too old, Sailor.”

[MEG33]

“Which five women have to lay on the bed to get into their blue jeans?”

LOL..Wonder who first discovered that it works!
Kudos to the gal who passed this information around.

[Diver Dave]

ROFL!!! Now that’s funny.

[Lady Jag]

Thank you! I hadn’t read the poem for a long time and it’s just as beautiful today as it was then.

Yorkie, here is the little dog that Meg helped me with yesterday. This pup has been everywhere tryin to fit in here at Amy's.He did have some sparkle but I like him just as he is.

[jaycee]

Well I can understand I guess. Billie posted the nicest graphic the other day about Gold Star Mothers. On the back of a couch, there was a sailor’s collar showing from his blues and a little dog had his head laying on it. I told Billie it reminded me of my hubby’s blues and that it seemed like only yesterday.
