Happy Wednesday Ex-Snook.

Thank you for sharing the "Catch of the Day."
" ‘What’s the matter?’ asked Little Johnny. ‘Giving up?’ "
That is so cute and I picture a little boy saying that. :)

Have a warm and fuzzy Wednesday.

[JustAmy]

Oh what a lovely graphic!!
That looks so peaceful and relaxing. Thank you, Meg.

Hope you are having a Warm and Fuzzy Wednesday.

Marissa is into making cookies or brownies (probably anything sweet.. *smile** )

[JustAmy]

Ahhh .... she is so cute!

Thank you.

The Leaves Of Autumn Skies

To hear the birds start singing And the sweetness of their call, Their gracefulness and beauty Send a message to us all, Floating through the darkness As the sun begins to rise, And carried on the wind amongst The leaves of autumn skies. The sound so reassuring Like an old beloved friend, The comfort that they give me And the goodwill that they send, As I waken from my slumber Every note a treasured prize, And carried on the wind amongst The leaves of autumn skies. The day is now beginning And the air is full of song, I listen to each melody That seems to flow along, They fill my heart with gladness As the morning dew now dries, And carried on the wind amongst The leaves of autumn skies.

Haha. I like the first one the best.

*BLONDE JOKE*

A Blonde is watching the news with her husband when the newscaster

Says 'Six Brazilian men die in a skydiving accident.'

The blonde starts crying to her husband, sobbing 'That's horrible.'

Confused, he says, 'Yes dear, it is sad, but they were skydiving, and there is that risk involved.'

After a few minutes, the blonde, still sobbing, says, 'How many is a Brazilian?'

[JustAmy]

Thanks GG.
I think the trees are Aspens.
They have the white bark.

Mamabear sent me that graphic yesterday.
She asked if I wanted it;
Well .... yesterday was "Ask a stoopid Question Day". LOL

[JustAmy]

LOL
Hey .... ya making fun of me? :)

I thought I'd heard every blonde joke.
That is funny and cute.

Thank you, Dita.

Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

[JustAmy]

Happy Birthday Lori

Ohhh, those cookies (see, I said I always hone in on the food holidays).... they're very much like the ones we (my family) call "Sand Tarts", except the Sand Tarts have 1/4 cup powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar, and 1 tsp baking powder and no salt. The other ingredients appear to be the same. I LOVE them! They're also one of our Christmas cookies!

Cute holiday illustrations today - love the blue-haired ladies. :)

[Billie]

LOL! Women who look like that are those who are having a hard time getting older! What a cutie though! :)
