reminding us that it’s best to make WISE choices!
An elderly man in Houston decided he’d had enough of his job and, as a subtle farewell, drove a bulldozer through the office at the auctioneer house where he had been employed. The damage costs estimate to about $1.5 million. Good thing he has a job to pay it o—never mind

Good Morning---I am up early as I am meeting the "boys" for coffee and my friend who now lives in Arizona is also coming for breakfast there. Then a quick stop at the LSS to drop out our every-other month swap and then to Madison to meet LJ for lunch and to do some shopping.

Today is Chicken Dance Day Farm Safety Day, National Punch Day,

On this nonsensical holiday (Gibberish Day), even the most articulate among us may utter gobbledygook, gabble, babble and drivel.

Please excuse the interruption, but here’s a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
reminding us to look at life through the eyes of child!
A woman was driving her old beat up car on the Highway with her 7 yr. old son, Little Johnny. She tried to keep up with traffic but they were flying by her. After getting caught in a large group of car's flying down the road she looked at her speedometer to see she was doing 15 miles over the speed limit.
Slowing down, she moved over to the side and got out of the clump that soon left her behind. She looked up and saw the flashing lights of a police car. Pulling over she waited for the officer to come up to her car. As he did he said, "Ma'am do you know why I pulled you over?"
Little Johnny piped up from the back seat, "I do! Because you couldn't catch the other cars!"

Noodles sounds good and it's on my way home if I every can get out of the school tonight. I have 10 yards of fabric to cut into squares. I did buy a cute large unmounted santa stamp for 20 cents when I went to buy stuff for cards for the womens shelter for my humanitarian aide class to make tomorrow.

Good Morning All---Happy Friday!
I am headed to church for a bit to sign the Stewardship letters that are going out next week and a quick stop at the grocery store. Then, three stamping friends who used to be in my former stamp club are coming over this afternoon to make cards for OWH--Operation Write Home. I made 18 card kits of 12 cards each for the event we had last winter at an event at the Milwaukee Admirals hockey game, but there was only one other stamper in addition to the four of us that attended, so we did not get to these card kits. It will be good to get together with Christine, Lora and Laurie as we have not seen each other since May! Not sure how long we are "playing with ink", but I have supper planned.
Tomorrow morning I am heading to a new stamp/scrap show that is being held in Milwaukee--they are not showing many vendors, but I am going to check it out anyway.
I hope you have a wondeful day and a great start to the weekend!
Have a good time, Barb. Hope the rain here stops for the soccer games tomorrow. Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Love, hugs and prayers=grandmajudy
Love Little Johnny jokes.

Please excuse the interruption, but here’s a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
reminding us that there are some Dumb Crooks in the world!
The Apple Store alarm triggered at midnight, notifying the local police that the premises had been compromised. Police arriving at the scene discovered that a security gate at the front of the store had been destroyed, and there was substantial damage to the business. No suspects were found at the scene, so officers reviewed footage from the surveillance cameras.
In the video, a blue BMW X5 SUV can be seen crashing through the plate-glass window in the front of the store. Three suspects exited the vehicle and started to grab items from nearby display tables. While the hooded crooks grabbed the loot, the wheelman attempted to back out of the store, but quickly discovered a security gate had fallen down, blocking his path. Undeterred, the driver repeatedly smashed the back of the BMW into the gate until it finally gave way and the SUV was able to exit the business and drive away.
A clean getaway? No, far from it.
During one of the BMW's frenzied attempts to smash through the security gate, the vehicle's license plate was torn from the vehicle and was discovered among the broken glass and rubble. The BMW was also left crippled with two flat tires. The burglars managed to use a spare to change one, but the other remained an encumbrance. The solution? Why, a second theft, of course.
One of the men allegedly entered a nearby convenience store and stole a can of Fix-a-Flat. Unfortunately for the thieves, the damage to the tire proved to be too substantial for the liquid magic to do its thing. So, rather than limp the battered beast back to their hideout, the thieves abandoned it not far from the crime scene. The car, which once had a new dealer price of between $40,000 and $60,000, had "extensive damage," according to police.
And it gets worse, for at least one of the alleged crooks. While police were busy following up on leads in the case, they spotted a young man walking near the mall. As it turned out, he was the registered owner of the BMW. In fact, he had the keys to the vehicle in his pocket.

Hello SCS buds! The stamp show this morning was nice--small, but a few new booths. I got a couple of new dies and embossing folders. We are doing a couple of projects in the new garage--insulation, plastic and sheetrock. We actually had a bit of hail early this morning and when I went to get the paper, there was a small pile of snow/ice on the side of the driveway--about the size of a platter. Too early for that!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend--the first fall one!

Good Afternoon--late check in. We are heading out for a hike and then back to work on the project in the garage. Hope to see some football this afternoon too.
