Here is a funny

I think this is funny, and maybe most of you will not "get" it but I hope so! At work, I sit by this young girl. she is all of 20 almost 21. During the first part of the summer when we were concerned about flooding and such she made a comment someting like, What do they think will happen, water running down the streets or something! I looked at her dumbfounded and said don't you remember the floods of "83? Then it was her turn to look at me dumbfounded and she said I was not even born until 8?. I started to laugh and said well then I guess you do not remember that.

Today I was help a customer. When I pulled up the account the persons name was Lavern. His wife was on the phone so I asked her what her name was, she said Shirley. I smiled and when I got off the phone I chuckled a little. The same girl sitting next to me said what is so funny? I told her that I just talked to a lady whose name is Shirley and her husbands name is Lavern. She looked at me dumbfounded again like so... Then I remembered that I am an old fart and she is just a young kid, I started to laugh as I said to her Lavern and Shirley means nothing to you does it. She said "NO" I forget that I am so much older than all these people I work with.

Thought of Marilyn

Ok, two saturdays ago we went to Wendy's mom's house and cut down an apple tree in her back yard. I sit all day at my job and then when I get home I do some more of nothing. LAZY or something. Well, I had been cutting for not long maybe 15-20 min maybe less I really do not know and I was tired. I had to sit down and rest. My mind told me I could keep going but my body said sit. I remember Marilyn telling me the same story about herself. I know my experience is very minimal to hers but I did think of her and think how frustrating that must be. Last saturday my neighbor took out a bunch of cement and was throwing it into his truck to take to the dump. Again, I got too pooped to pop anymore. I am not as butch as I use to be. I did remember that I am closer to 50 than 40, that is depressing!!

For Melonie

On Sunday Debbie blessed her little Trevin. Dad decided he wanted to go and I was the "choosen one" to go with him. Keelee was a brave trooper and went as well. Dad arrived at my house around ten so we went early. We got to the church early enough to get in the sacrament meeting before Debbies so I am good for the year. (Ok, maybe the next ten years!) It was good to see everybody. Melonie and her clan was there. I have not seen them since we had Dads 80th birthday party. Earl and his family is always a joy as well. Ellie is getting along so good in the wheel chair it makes everybody around her smile. Becky's liitle one is a sleeper. He bareley made a peep the whole time at church. I even tried to wake him so I could take him out but he was not playing nice. I later found out that they gave him a bath before church and he was not happy about that so he was pretty worn out from that event. Oh well. It was good to see everybody again. I look forward to doing it again when Henry gets his blessing.
