PIC OF THE WEEK - BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE

I captured two really cool pics of a resident butterfly during our weekend at Lake Martin last summer.  Mike's uncle let us use his cabin for a couple days, and I noticed this beautiful creature both mornings we were there.

BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE
 

It's so cool when they land on you. I've been told... when that happens, it's a kiss from God.

We spent the day Saturday at the Ridge Marina looking around at boats and collecting brochures. The memories of our pontoon days came flooding back and taunted us with temptation.  We've also been researching different camper styles and travel trailers. There's so many choices out there, it can be a bit overwhelming... but fun!

In trying to decide how we want to move forward with our adventurous spirits, we even sat on two brand new motorcycles Friday.  Yikes! Talk about temptations!

Hmmmm... our tickers are ticking. Have a great week everybody!

FRIDAY FUNNY - LEAN ON ME

The family wheeled Grandma out on the lawn, in her wheelchair, where the activities for her 100th birthday were taking place. Grandma couldn't speak very well, but she would write notes when she needed to communicate.

After a short time out on the lawn, Grandma started leaning off to the right, so some family members grabbed her, straightened her up, and stuffed pillows on her right side.

A few more minutes passed when she started leaning off to her left, so again the family grabbed her and stuffed pillows on her left side.

Soon she started leaning forward, so the family members again grabbed her, and then tied a pillowcase around her waist to hold her up.

A nephew who arrived late came up to Grandma and said... “Hi, Grandma, you're looking good! How are they treating you?”

Grandma took out her little notepad and slowly wrote a note to the nephew...

“Bastards won't let me fart”.

FRIDAY FUNNY - AN OLD PEOPLE LOVE STORY

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. 

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. 

When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love... I have concluded that your act displays a sound mind. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."  

Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry...
How soon can I go home?"

PIC OF THE WEEK - MARVELOUS MIMOSA

I can't remember if I posted pictures of this feathery light tree before... or not.  Let's just say I didn't... and here goes!

During this time of year, the Mimosa Trees are blooming and make the roadside scenery absolutely beautiful.  I love how they contrast against the dark green leaves and the blue sky.

Ain't it purty??  Sweet home Alabama!

Have a great week everybody!

FRIDAY FUNNY - FLY SOUTHWEST

A mother and her young son were flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago. The little boy, who had been looking out the window, turned to his mother and asked, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?"

The mother, who couldn't think of an answer, told her son to ask the flight attendant.

So the boy went down the aisle and asked the flight attendant, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?"

The very busy flight attendant smiled and asked, "Did your mother tell you to ask me?"

The boy said, "Yes, she did."

"Well then," the attendant replied, "you go and tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Ask her to explain that to you."

PIC OF THE WEEK - WHAT DO YOU SEE??

I'm posting a picture of a rock.

Not just any rock, mind you, but a rock with... attitude. 

Tell me... WHAT DO YOU SEE?


This rock is near one of the lookouts we stop at while exploring fire roads on top of Mt. Rebecca in the Talladega National Forest.

I think it has a distinctive feature about it.  So much so... I thought I would pass it on to my readers to help me come up with a cool title for this picture.

So tell me... what do you see?

Have a great week everybody!

HE'S ALIVE!!

John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.

He's Alive... sung by Dolly Parton



HAPPY EASTER!

FRIDAY FUNNY - SINGING IN CHURCH

A minister decided to do something a little different one Sunday morning.

He said, "Today, in church, I am going to say a single word and you are going to help me preach. Whatever single word I say, I want you to sing whatever hymn that comes to your mind."

The pastor shouted out, "CROSS."

Immediately the congregation started singing in unison, "THE OLD RUGGED CROSS."

The pastor hollered out, "GRACE."  The congregation began to sing "AMAZING GRACE… how sweet the sound."

The pastor said, "POWER."  The congregation sang "THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD."

The Pastor said, "SEX."  The congregation fell into total silence.

Everyone was in shock. They all nervously began to look around at each other, afraid to say anything.

Then all of a sudden, way from in the back of the church, a little old 87-year-old grandmother stood up and began to sing… "PRECIOUS MEMORIES." 

~~~~~

I know a lot of you look forward to my Friday Funnies, and I appreciate your visits! However, today is a very special Friday... Good Friday. 

It's Friday... but Sunday's Comin'.

Have a great weekend everybody!

PIC OF THE WEEK - ALABAMA RIVER

Looking back on my Spring riding pictures from last year, I couldn't help but notice how Harley and I would always gravitate toward water.  In doing so, I've collected quite a few "dam" pictures!  Alabama is blessed is rivers and lakes and we always found ourselves including them in our ride.

ROBERT F. HENRY LOCK AND DAM

We took the Jeep up around Lake Martin this past weekend and scoped out some campgrounds and talked about future purchases.  We are torn between a camper or a boat.  Hmmm... I'm really wondering how we can do both! 

Now you know why we keep an active lottery ticket every week.  We need to get lucky!

Have a great week everybody!
