I know Amy, farmers are being treated horribly by the gov't wackos! But I did my part the other night for the grape industry! I try never to drink water either so the farmers can have it! Honest I don't! :)

Mornin' Papa. Beautiful flag story with your grand-daughter.

On a few occasions, our other grandson has come to visit and stops at the flag to recite the Pledge or sing "America."

The Bible tells us not to have a prideful heart, but it sure is hard when we marvel at what He has blessed us with - be it our children or grandchildren.

PR 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. (NIV)

A brunette and a blonde are walking along in a park one morning.

Suddenly, the brunette notices a dead bird. "Awww, look at the dead birdie," she says sadly.

The blonde stops, looks up into the sky, and says, "Where? Where?"

Hi,Amy!

Luv the water toys!

Great photo.

Years ago on one of the Lakes in SW Oregon, there was a bald eagle nick named Sam. Which I didn't know BOUT or what Sam would do until a little later on this trip.

Sam would circle around watching fly fishers bring the big trout back to their fishing prams or one man pontoon rafts.

I was up in the late fall and had seen Sam circling that morning and thought nothing of it. I hooked a really big trout and was bringing it closer to my little pontoon raft.

The fish came to the surface about 20 feet away. Suddenly this screech came over my head and the shadow of Sam went zipping over me and the water. He hit the fish and I about lost $1,000 in rod, reel and line as he tried to lift up the still hooked fish.

The light tippet broke and the trout got away and survived. I kicked and paddled into shore, and I was shaking like a cold wet puppy dog. It took me an hour to get back in the water. In the meantime Sam took a fish from another fisher about a quarter of a mile off.

Later I told a guy at the local flyshop about my encounter. He smiled and said that was Sam, and he often got breakfast, lunch and dinner that way.

So your photo reminds me of Sam.

Hello again Grampa
I can get away with the blonde jokes since I was a blonde; now it's more silver threads among the blonde.
Gives the impression of a halo! LOL

[Billie]

You DID get here, Dave! Good! And what a sweet story about your granddaughter and the flags!

Hope your fishing trip is great fun, and be sure and check the thread again when you get back, so you can read the later posts to you!

Blonde takes taxi


After traveling a few blocks, a blonde realizes she had no money and immediately informed the driver. "You'd better stop. I can't pay you and it's ten dollars already," she said.

The driver checked her out in the rear-vision mirror.

"That's okay," he said. "I'll turn down the first dark street, get in the back seat and take off your bra."

"You'd be cheating yourself," she replied. "This bra is only worth five dollars."


Take that, Amy. ;-)

[Pippin]

HOWDY,LODWICK!
