Yes, we all are separated by so many miles in every direction! Now, you all will be getting to see Amy at that rally in Searchlight? Of course, you’ve met before too! What day will that be again?

Yep, I met Amy and family about a year ago. Had a really nice visit. The Tea Party Express kick-off in Searchlight starts at 12:00 noon on March 27th. Have no idea what it’ll be like!

Mais d’abord, vous devez se tenir tranquille.

It is the “tranquille” part I don’t like ;-)

Have you always lived in Florida? When I was younger and lived in Ohio, our family would fly to St. Pete to see the Grandparents ,so I remember stories about them evacuating many times. Nice place to visit-I didn’t think I would want to live there.LOL!

Hi Amy! I miss my lazy winter days, and frequent visits to Amy’s Place. I am surprised every week when “Wear Red Friday” is here, as that means another week has flown by, and I am that much closer to the important Mother’s Day holiday. That’s a big time for all of us in the flower business. I need to have everything ready to sell by then.

Looks like an early spring for us in southern WI. It was nearly 60 today.

For the bird lovers on Amy’s Place, I saw my first robins today. They were nice and fat. Must have had a good winter down south.

The sandhill cranes have been flying around and the other day I counted a flock of 31. Canadian Geese are also active.

Good night friends!

You Have to Love Those Irish

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had
an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place.
Looking up to heaven he said, 'Lord take pity on me.
If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday
for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!'

Miraculously, a parking place appeared.

Paddy looked up again and said, 'Never mind, I found one.'

~~~~~~~~

Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal,
and asks the first man he meets,
'Do you want to go to heaven?'

The man said, 'I do, Father...'

The priest said, 'Then stand over there against the wall.'

Then the priest asked the second man,
'Do you want to go to heaven?'

'Certainly, Father,' the man replied.

'Then stand over there against the wall,' said the priest.

Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and asked,
'Do you want to go to heaven?'

O'Toole said, 'No, I don't Father.'

The priest said, 'I don't believe this.
You mean to tell me that when you die
you don't want to go to heaven?'

O'Toole said, 'Oh, when I die, yes.
I thought you were getting a group together to go right now.'

~~~~~~

Paddy was in New York .
He was patiently waiting and watching
the traffic cop on a busy street crossing.
The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted,
'Okay, pedestrians.' Then he'd allow the traffic to pass.

He'd done this several times,
and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk.

After the cop had shouted, 'Pedestrians!' for the tenth time,
Paddy went over to him and said,
'Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?'

~~~~~~

Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded
to read in the obituary column that he had died.
He quickly phoned his best friend, Finney.

'Did you see the paper?' asked Gallagher.
'They say I died!!'

'Yes, I saw it!' replied Finney.
'Where are ye callin' from?'

~~~~~~

An Irish priest is driving down to New York
and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut.
The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest's breath
and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car.

He says, 'Sir, have you been drinking?'

'Just water,' says the priest.

The trooper says, 'Then why do I smell wine?'

The priest looks at the bottle and says,
'Good Lord! He's done it again!'

~~~~~~

Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie the bartender,
'Pour me a stiff one - just had another fight with the little woman.'

'Oh yeah?' said Charlie, 'And how did this one end?'

'When it was over,' Mike replied, 'She came to me on her hands and knees..'

'Really,' said Charles, 'Now that's a switch! What did she say?'

She said, 'Come out from under the bed, you little chicken.'

~~~~~~

David staggered home very late
after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy.
He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Kathleen.

He tiptoed as quietly as he could
toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom,
but misjudged the bottom step.
As he caught himself by grabbing the banister,
his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump.
A whiskey bottle in each back pocket
broke and made the landing especially painful.

Managing not to yell, David sprung up,
pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror
to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding.
He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids
and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could
on each place he saw blood..

He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box
and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.

In the morning, David woke up with searing pain
in both his head and butt
and Kathleen staring at him from across the room.

She said, 'You were drunk again last night weren't you?'

David said, 'Why you say such a mean thing?'

'Well,' Kathleen said, 'it could be the open front door,
it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs,
it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house,
it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly ......
it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.

That would be Awesome to See Such a Big Flock of Cranes! I See One or Two Several Times a Week where I Live, but haven't ever seen a Flock. This Time of the Year, there are a Few Ducks that Go Swimming Almost Daily in the King's Pond, not too Far from my House, and I Love to Watch them.

I Love the early Spring!
