Good Morning LaDivaLoca! Another fantastic thread! You really have put a lot of work into it and the results are great! Good morning to our military and good morning to the whole Canteen crew.

Warm up exercise for today . . . . .
(Special "Rain" Joke for Kathy)

A preacher and his flock at a very poor church in the hills of Tennessee took up collections,
baked cakes and washed cars for months to get enough money to buy paint for the church exterior
which was bare and weatherbeaten. Finally they went to Walmart and bought enough paint
for the job and all joined together on a Saturday morning to complete the job. When they
were about half finished they realized that they were going to run out of paint before
finishing. The preacher said, "Its a water base paint, just thin it down with water." They continued
painting and thinning until the color started losing its depth and when they finally finished it
was dark green at the top, light green in the middle and a very light green (almost white) at
the bottom. The preacher and his flock were standing on a nearby hill admiring their work
when a dark cloud appeared and the heavens opened up with a deluge of rain which washed
all of the newly applied paint off the church. The preacher was in tears and the congregation
was stunned at all the hard work they had done for nothing.

Just then there was a huge lightening flash followed by the roll of thunder and a loud voice from
the heavens rang out, "REPAINT, REPAINT AND THIN NO MORE."

LOL!! Thank you for thinking of me! The drizzles have stopped, but there does seem to be hope for later in the week.
