Thanks Did you get to meet Jess in person too? Did John tell you the adoption was finalized last month?
God bless you, Linda!
I know you miss her.
We are ALL pulling for you! ((((hugs))))
Oh Kathy.....I've been waiting for you! This is dedicated to you, hon!
Wayne the Painter
There was a tradesman, a painter called Wayne, who was very interested in making a penny where he could, so he often would thin down paint to make it go a wee bit further.
As it happened, he got away with this for some time, but eventually the Baptist Church decided to do a big restoration job on the painting of one of their biggest buildings. Wayne put in a bid, and because his price was so low, he got the job.
And so he set to erecting the trestles and setting up the planks, and buying the paint and, yes, I am sorry to say, thinning it down with turpentine.
Well, Wayne was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly completed when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder, and the sky opened, the rain poured down,
washing the thinned paint from all over the church and knocking Wayne clear off the scaffold to land on the lawn among the gravestones, surrounded by telltale puddles of the thinned and useless paint.
Wayne was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty, so he got on his knees and cried: "Oh, God! Forgive me! What should I do?"
And from the thunder, a mighty voice spoke...
(you're going to love this)
" Repaint! Repaint! And thin no more!"
Yeah, we knew about the adoption--didn't he tell you we ha a huge party for the adoption in the Canteen? :o) John! You gotta tell her this stuff! :o)
I didn't meet Jess. I guess she was with you. But I WILL meet you guys when he gets home...I want to take you all out for dinner or something. And try to get some more FReepers here, too!
Yeah she saw the whole big party we had...I think she just didn't realize you were here for that.
Nah that little trip into JA was just me and Byron on a little shopping spree scouting presents for mom! LOL!
Yeah someones gotta keep him in line!!! :)
MINE!!!
No, I didn't know about your puppies. My friend has 3, all different kinds. One is all smoothe, one has long hair, and one wirey hair.
MINE!!!
Oh no....WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!~ouch~...THUMPPPP!!!
That one hurt.
Sorry, tx. I'm way behind.
Wish we could pull it up--I posted a neat table with a picture of you and Byron and a poem, but I didn't keep the code or I'd post it again! Rats!
I remember Byron had very good taste in presents! LOL!
Wooohoooo!!!!!!!!! Dancing in my chair.
Oh, by the way, tomorrow night, I will not be here. Waaaaaaay back in July I purchased tickets for my beloved David, my oldest daughter, Katie, and me to go to the outdoor Verizon theater north of San Antonio to see JOURNEY!!!!
I'm gonna be singing at the top of my lungs, but if something goes wrong, you may check the news in San Antonio to see if I'll be arrested, because I'm going to be proudly wearing my, t-shirt that says on the front (with an American Flag) "I Survived Crawford, Texas, 2005" and on the back "I Support Our Troops, These Colors Don't Run."
If ANYONE on that stage makes some political comment about bringing the troops home now, I've warned both David and Katie that I will stand on my chair and scream at the stage, "NOT UNTIL THE JOB IS DONE!!! I PAID TO HEAR YOU SING, NOT YOUR POLITICS, SO SING OR SHUT UP!!!!!"
OH YEAH!!! I remember now I forget things sometimes LOL!! I get side tracked alot. I learned it from the blonde!!! Right sweetheart!!!
Just joking
heh-heh! We'll help ya! You got lots of sisters here in the Canteen! I think ole tx is outnumbered! :o)
