I KNEW THERE WAS A CHANCE IT COULD BE AN EMOTIONAL DAY

I knew there was a chance it could be an emotional day, with a second day to follow.  Kelly's two daughter's Sabra and Rebecca, arrived today to spend a couple of days finalizing their Mom's room and closing another final chapter in their Mother's life.  The day went well.

FOR KELLY'S CELEBRATION OF LIFE IN SPENCERPORT NEW YORK THIS PAST SATURDAY, SABRA PUT TOGETHER THESE THREE PICTURE BOARDS

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A man who absolutely hated his wife's cat decided to get rid of it one day by driving it 20 blocks from his home and leaving it at the park. As he was nearing home, the cat was walking up the driveway. The next day, he decided to drive the cat 40 blocks away and try the same thing. As we was driving back into his driveway, there was the cat! He kept taking the cat farther and farther away, but the darn cat would always beat him home. At last, he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again and another right and so on until he reached what he thought was a safe distance from his home, and he left the cat there. Hours later, the man calls home to his wife: "Jen, is the cat there?" "Yes," the wife answers. "Why do you ask?" Frustrated, the man answers: "Put that damn cat on the phone. I'm lost and I need directions!"

A famed English explorer was invited to Dartmouth to tell of his adventures in the African jungle. "Can you imagine, a people so primitive that they love to eat the embryo of certain birds, and slices from the belly of certain animals? And grind up grass seed, make it into paste, burn it over a fire, then smear it with a greasy mess they extract from the mammary fluid of certain other animals?"  When the students looked startled by such barbarism, the explorer added softly, "What I've been describing, of course, is a breakfast of bacon and eggs and buttered toast."

Two businessmen in Florida were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new store. As yet, the store wasn't ready, with only a few shelves set up. One said to the other, ' I bet any minute now some senior citizen is going to walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what we're selling.'
No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a curious senior citizen walked to the window, had a peek, and in a soft voice asked, "What are you sellin' here?" One of the men replied sarcastically, "We're selling idiots." Without skipping a beat, the old timer said, "You're doing well. Only two left."

  2. Kelly thought the world of you, Al. I remember her emailing me with questions about prostate cancer, as I had gone through it. I could tell how worried she was for you. She was a gem. I regret not meeting her in person.

  3. Lorraine, it was kind of you to make the muffins and tarts before the girls came. A little love to make the difficult task a bit better.
