Friendship.

Post 241 - - - - Tuesday, 26th June, 2007.

Hi Everyone ~~ I sincerely hope that none of the disasters that
are happening overseas are not directly affecting any of you.
I refer to the flooding in England, and the fires in the States. My
sympathy to those who have lost loved ones and possessions.

This will be a short post tonight as it is already late and I have a
few things to do. I am having my younger daughter's three
eldest kids coming to visit for a couple of days, which will be
really terrific. Kate is heading for 20, Joh turned 18 today and
Kristen is 14. Joh's name is short for Johannes. Today was
my regular shopping day, so we are all stocked up again.
I see my brother got his gift and liked it- see Peter 's blog.

I found a short poem called "Friendship." It was in a War
Widow's Magazine that I get. Lots of Friendship ones are all
so similar, but most are nice. My late husband served in
Papua New Guinea during the Second World War.

There's a miracle called Friendship
That dwells within the heart
And you don't know how it happens
Or when it gets it's start.
But the happiness it brings you
Always gives a special lift
And you realise that Friendship
Is God's greatest gift. Author Unknown.

A man went to the cinema and was surprised to find a
woman with a collie sitting in front of him. Even more
amazing was the fact that the dog always laughed in the
right places in the comedy.

'Excuse me, " the man said to the woman, "but I think it is
astounding that your dog enjoys the film so much."

"I'm surprised myself," she replied, "He hated the book."

Henry's new job had him spending a lot of time on the road,
and out of concern for his wife's safety he visited a pet shop
to look for a watchdog.

"I have just the dog for you," said the salesman, showing him
a miniature Pekingese.
"Come on, " said Henry,"that little thing couldn't hurt a flea."

"Ah, but he knows karate," the salesman replied. "Here let me
show you." He pointed to a cardboard box, and ordered,
"Karate the box !" Immediately the dog shredded it. The sales-
man then pointed to an old wooden chair and instructed,
"Karate, the chair." The dog reduced the chair to matchsticks.
Astounded Henry bought the dog.

When he got home, Henry announced that he had purchased
a watchdog, but his wife took one look at the Pekingese and
was unimpressed. "That scrawny thing couldn't fight it's way
out of a paper bad.

"But this dog is special," Henry insisted. "He's a karate expert."

"Now I've heard everything," Helen replied. "Karate my foot !!"

"And what would you like for Christmas this year?" a store
Santa asked the child sitting on his lap.

The little girl was indignant, "Didn't you get the fax I sent you?"

A sceptical customer asked the used car dealer, "And how is
your customer service?"

"Oh, that's first class. Anybody who buys a car from us gets
a free copy of the latest train timetable."

What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?
I don't know and I don't care.

Question: What's the difference between a hunter and
a fisherman?
Answer: A hunter lies in wait while a fisherman waits
and lies.

A couple of quotes - - - -

Time is :
Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love, time is
Eternity. Hours fly, Flowers die,
New days, new ways,,,,,, pass by.
Love stays.

Bye for now, my friends. I hope you are having a good week.
Take care and be happy. Love and Best Wishes to all. Merle.
