I must tell you about how distracted my mind has been. I keep in touch with Patti's husband and he emailed to tell me he visited a friend for a couple of days at his beautiful home. He wrote "on a hill with 16 acres, got to drive his '41 Ford. Wow, 450 horses". So I replied that I'm glad he had a nice visit and where is this home with 450 horses? Was I embarrassed when he said the 450 horses were in the Ford's engine? No. It wasn't as bad as 40 years ago when my husband was out of work. We took a long drive out of town into the country and I saw a sign at a large farm and recognized the company name. The sign stated - 23,000 happy employees. "WOW!!! They probably hire often with that many workers - maybe you should apply here!" Husband said he wasn't qualified. "You're the smartest person I know and can do anything. Why wouldn't you be qualified?" He looked at me and said "because I can't lay eggs like the other 23,000 employees". Sometimes you feel so silly you laugh hard enough to wet your pants. And the older you get, it happens if you just smile too hard.

Thanks for the laughs!
Merry 2 days after Christmas.
I so needed a chuckle today! After days of cooking, cleaning and food prep etc, my back hurts like crazy and quite frankly I don't think I have any circulation to either leg. Oh well, at least everyone is well fed!
I just adore your strawberry with that cap. Too cute.
😆
I just started using labels....after all these years I finally realized they would help ME (thought it was just in case someone else wanted to do a search..seriously? Why would anyone else want to search my blog posts LOL). So, after that admission, I know you understand how I can totally relate to your "funnies." And it's not wetting your pants when it happens that way....it's tears of joy running down your leg. ;-) Love that strawberry pinkeep!!! ~Robin~
Perfect start to my day. Thanks. I really needed that.
Happy 2021 for you and family
love your stories; love the innocence of them! amazed at the transformation of that tree- would never believe it is the same one!
Thanks for the much-needed laugh! keep the stories coming...Happy Holidays!
I have one of those stories too. Years ago my husband had rebuilt a side porch and would shingle the roof. The shingles were in the back of the pick up truck. It was going to rain so I said " shouldn't you put something over them do they don't get wet" hahahaha, he just stared at me. Have a great day, love the strawberry on the hook.
Absolutely sounds like something I would say. My husband and I were heading to town one day when I saw a Huck's convenience store tanker truck (Huck's popular in Illinois)with a coffee ad covering the entire tanker to which I replied wow, that is a lot of coffee in there. Of course, the second I said it, I wanted to slap myself, so there you go! Have a blessed New Year friend.
