LOL on your Doggie Graphic.
Thanks for the link to Doris Day.

I started this post an hour ago.
Looks like I'm off to a great start.

Hope you are having a Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.
How is your furry kid doing?

Talk to you later.

[JustAmy]

Thanks for the cheery greeting. It makes me smile.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, WayzataJOHNN.

Thank you for sharing your poem this morning.

Have a Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

[JustAmy]

While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant and resumed their trip.

When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table and she didn't miss them until they had been driving about twenty minutes.

By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around -- in order to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses.

All the way back, the husband became the classic grouchy old man. He fussed and complained and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive. The more he chided her -- the more agitated he became. He just wouldn't let up.

To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant. As the woman got out of the car and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled to her.

'While you're in there, you might as well get my hat and the credit card!'

OMG, that is ADORABLE, Amy! The colors, the frame, the graphic, the expression - Thank you!

And, Lindy, is actually doing much better! She even RUNS to the door, if she smells a javelina!

[WayzataJOHNN]

‘While you’re in there, you might as well get my hat and the credit card!’

Yep,that’s me!

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Yorkie. Whenever I see a cute yorkie image, I save it. I liked the purple crocus with that one.

It is so good to hear that Lindy is improving. Animals are soo amazing. I am always surprised at what they can overcome. Give her a hug from Marissa.

Have a Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

Waaaaaarrrrrrmmm, Fuuuuzzzzzy

Wait, I’ll just pull this nice fuzzy banky over me and I’ll be warm and snuggy and ...sort of...Nappy!

[JustAmy]

LOL

I hate to admit that it could be you or me. When we get in the car to go to FResno, hubby says “Wait, I’d better get my cell phone”; I always say, “My list is on the table, will you get it while you are there?”

LOL

Ahhhh ..... senior moments. :)

[JustAmy]

It is a little cool here today. 61 degrees at 11:45.

I’m trying to enjoy it since I know I will be wishing for the 70’s in July and August.

The Weaver

My life is but a weaving, between my God and me, I do not choose the colors, He worketh steadily. Ofttimes he weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride Forget He sees the upper, and I the underside. Not till the loom is silent, and the shuttles cease to fly, Will God unroll the canvas, and explain the reasons why The dark threads are as needful in the skillful weaver's hand As threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned. He knows, He loves, He cares, Nothing this truth can dim. He gives His very best to those Who leave the choice with Him. Anonymous Works

I’m workin’ on it, big guy!

PRANK ‘EM WHENEVER YOU CAN

I took a picture of my husband's backside as he was stepping out of the
shower and then forgot about it. A few months passed and I needed to
shop for picnic supplies for a family barbeque and my
sister-in-law accompanied me. As I walked out the door my husband
called out, "Don't forget to pick up beer."

I picked up everything I needed, beer included, at Lucky's market. The
checker, when he got to the beer, asked me for ID. Being 36 at the time
I was both surprised and flattered. I pulled out my wallet, flipped it
open to my license without looking at it and held it out to the checker.
The weirdest expression crossed his face and I said, "What, what's wrong?"

He just looked at me without replying so I turned the wallet toward
me to see why he was behaving so oddly. My license photo, which I had
not looked at for months, had been very neatly pasted over with that
picture of my husband's hairy butt. I showed it to my sister in-law
and we both began laughing like lunatics. I was so hysterical I had
trouble writing out the check. Both of us were still laughing when
we walked out the door. The clerk, who I'm convinced was lobotomized,
never even cracked a smile.

When I returned home, I joined my husband in the backyard, as he
was fine tuning the barbeque.

"Did you remember to get the beer?", he asked.

"Yep," I replied, "Got carded too."

He stopped what he was doing and looked at me for a couple of
seconds and then fell on the ground laughing. He'd done the dirty
deed so long ago that he'd forgotten about it until then. Thank God
I wasn't pulled over by a cop!

Evil, but brilliant.

Johnn, there were literally hundreds to choose from. This was a hard one!

[jaycee]

Appreciate you, Meg! It is rather exciting!

[jaycee]

Beautiful graphic and oh, a most beautiful bird!

[jaycee]

And this one is just perfect, Amy!

[JustAmy]

Evil, Yes.

Brilliant, indeed.

Thanks for the laugh, LadyJ.
