Snapdragons.

Post 755 ~ ~ ~ Sunday, 25th September, 2011.

Hello My Friends ~~ How is the world treating you -- all well I hope.
I am going OK and the weather is sunny but not overly warm yet,
The washing gets dry which is great, but I have to water my plants.
I cooked a big casserole overnight in my Slow cooker and this morning
made some dumplings to cook in the top of it, Nice and tasty and
I have some for John when he calls in later.

My friend, Warren fron Queensland sent me a nice e mail with the
picture and title of "Snapdragons". Thanks Mate !!!
~~FROM ME TO YOU~~


Nice patch of pretty Snapdragons.

I just wanted you to know that I have reached the snapdragon part of my life.
Part of me has snapped and the rest is dragging.

Here is the plan: send these flowers to four people you want to have a great day.
I picked you. If you don't have 4 friends, then don't bother sending any.

This is so positive and there is nothing attached . . . . . Let's continue to send this
along. Have a bright sunny day.

A friend is someone who thinks you're a good egg, even though you're
slightly cracked. Or Sometimes slightly scrambled.

May you always have Love to share.
Health to spare and
Friends who care.

From one of your slightly cracked friends.
<><>
One written by B. J. Morbitzer.

May you always have :

Enough happiness to keep you sweet,

Enough trials to keep you strong,

Enough sorrow to keep you human,

Enough hope to keep you happy

Enough failure to keep you humble,

Enough success to keep you eager,

Enough friends to give you comfort.

Enough wealth to meet your needs,

Enough enthusiasm to look forward,

Enough faith to banish depression.

Enough determination to make each day better than yesterday.

A Pearly Gates item. Six Days in Jail.

An 80 year old woman was arrested for shoplifting.
When she went before the judge, he asked her, "What did you steal?"
She replied, "A can of peaches."

The judge asked her why she had stolen them and she replied that she was
hungry. The judge asked her how many peaches were in the can.
She replied, " Six."

The judge then said, "I will give you 6 days in jail."
Before the judge could actually pronounce the punishment, the woman's
husband spoke up and asked the judge if he could say something.

The judge said, "What is it?"
The husband said, " She also stole a can of peas."

I had a really nice story to post today about a dog named Daisy who
supposedly rescued nearly 1000 people from the 9/11 disasters, but
found out it was a hoax. So I am going to re-post an oldie but a goody.

CURTAIN RODS; sent by Linda in Canberra, as was the Daisy story.

She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and
suitcases. On the second day she had the movers come and collect
her things.
On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining
room table by candlelight, put on some soft background music, and
feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water.

When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited
a few half eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of the
curtain rods.

She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. When the husband returned with
his new girlfriend, all was bliss for a few days.
Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything; cleaning,
mopping and airing the place out.

Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were steam cleaned. Air
fresheners were hung, everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set
off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days and
in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpet.
Nothing worked.

People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house.
The maid quit.

Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.
A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not
find a buyer for their stinky house.

Word got out and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their
calls.
Finally they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase
a new place.
The ex -wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told her the
saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old
home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in
exchange for getting the house back.

Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price
that was about one tenth of what the house had been worth, but only if she
were to sign the papers that very day.

She agreed and within the hour, his lawyers delivered the paperwork.

A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the
moving company pack everything to take to their new home........

And to spite the ex-wife, they even took the curtain rods !!!

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?

Another one from Warren - - - Thank you.

A cowboy appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.

"Have you ever done anything of particular merit?" St Peter asked.
"Well. I can think of one thing," the cowboy offered.

"On a trip to the Black Hills out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of bikers
who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone,
but they wouldn't listen.

So I approached the largest and most tattooed biker and smacked him in the
face, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it to the ground.
I yelled, "Now back off or I'll kick the crap out of all of you."

St. Peter was impressed, "When did this happen?"

"Couple of minutes ago."
