ReMarx?

As Groucho Marx once said, "I have had a perfectly lovely evening, this was not it."

Joshua Tree Spree

Some good friends are heading down to Joshua Tree National Park today and it reminded me of my last visit there. We hiked all day, we drove out across the desert in rental cars, we ended up at this bar in Joshua, which was supposed to be frequented by Marines, but alas no. But, that did not stop the girls from raising a little Cain. As our guys kept the Juke Box Jumping, some of us got a little over the top. As I was the Designated Driver, despite listening to Sousa Marches on the CD player, we all arrived safely back in Palm Springs. I hope my dear friends have even half as much fun as I did.

Tease!

Just in case you have not seen this yet, I have included it for your enjoyment.

Souvenirs?

So to help show how Mitt relates to the common man, I think he should offer campaign souvenirs that appeal to everyone. He could offer the oven mitt to keep your bun in the oven or the bath mitt so you can both be washed up at the same time. Maybe he could offer cans of Mitt Romney's Hominy, Eat Grits with Mitt.

Weighing In.

So I was talking to my husband this morning and I told him he looked good, had he lost some weight? He said yes, he had lost two pounds, but he didn't think that the scale was right. He thought we should go and try a bunch of new scales and buy the one that says we weigh the least. 

Do It Anyway!

I went today and am freshly squeezed. It's funny but, it's serious too. Make your appointment soon, please.

Couldn't Cut It!

I asked Kevin if he would please pick us a lemon for our scampi.

Laundry Show.

Little Joshua loved to watch the laundry show, eat hot dogs, and figure out where things fit. After he had gone home with his dad, I decided it was time to fold the clean clothes. I reached into the dryer handle, only to feel what felt like a finger already in there. I bent down to see what horrible thing I had touched and found a hot dog, stuffed perfectly from the top of the handle to the bottom.

Ode to Joy!

                ENJOY! 
 It's a woodworking masterpiece.


    

Overheard.

Some time ago, my husband and I were on Maui and decided to go snorkeling in Turtle Bay on a day cruise. One of the crew members named Yves was very helpful and instructed us on many safety topics and dos and don'ts for the cruise. He was helpful and nice. He was talking to some people seated behind us and they were asking for his favorite island hideaways and obscure places to visit. He was telling them of a little deli, coffee shop in Keokea called Grandma's Coffee House, with a beautiful view of Lahina and the ocean beyond. That sounded right up my ally, so I turned around and said, "Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to Grandma's? I am afraid I was Yves dropping." They all laughed and gave me the directions. It was as delightful as Yves had said it was. It's still there by the way.    

Hello Kitty!

This nice man came to work for us several years ago and to be prepared to work in our wood shop, he purchased some big black Red Wing lineman boots. We were babysitting our son's kittens as they were to young to be left alone at his house. On his way out the door of the house, he pretended to kick the kittens with his big boots. I raised an eyebrow at that and he smiled, it was just a joke.

Later that day, I asked him if he had a nickname and he said that some people just shortened his name, but he being a black belt in several Marshall arts, thought it would be cool to take on the name of an animal that he had fought, like a guy that kicked the *ss of a pitbull, took on the name Pitbull.  So I asked to clarify, any animal you kick the *ss of you could take on the name of that animal? "Yes" he answered. Oh then we should call you Kitten. He winced but knew it was way too late, he was known to us all as Kitten from that moment forward.

Now That's Hot!

My 85 year old Mother in law has rental property that she rents for a good deal as long as the tenants take care of their own maintenance. One of her tenants called her and said she had a problem at the house and Mom said, "Your father is visiting, have him fix it."
The tenant said, "He's in the shower, he has a hot date tonight."

So Mom went over and knocked on the door. When her tenants Father answered the door wrapped in only a towel, Mom said with her arms open wide, "Here I am, I'm your hot date!"

Outside!

So today as I was walking home barefoot in the rain holding my dear Grandson who didn't want to go back home yet, just because Grandma had broken her sandle, it occured to me that there are few things that are more difficult to hold, than a two year old that wants to get down.

What Day Is Today?

So, when your children are out of school and you don't know what day it is any more, because your life is not dictated by spelling tests and soccer practice, you don't have to worry, you'll get one of these pill boxes that tells you what day it is.

Spreading Smiles

We were eating at a resturant, the kind where the servers wear flare, and some people in brightly colored clothing were making balloon animals and hats for the diners. They were handing out cards for their web site. I highly recommend this and hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Oh Darling, Darling!

We all may be in different places, but we all stand together on this planet, and when we do sometimes really special things happen.

I Can't Help It.

Several years ago I was up in Oregon visiting my Sister and her boyfriend Dave was expected to come over in the afternoon. He didn't have a ride and was waiting for some guys that lived near him to get home from picking moss, which they sell to the florist in town. It was pretty close to dinner time when Dave finally showed up and said, "It turned out that the guys changed their minds and drove up to town instead and picked up a bag of pot. So they never made it to the florist."  I said, "Are you trying to tell us that the rolling stoned gathered no moss?" I just couldn't help myself.

Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty!

When I saw this sign it reminded me of something a friend of mine does on occasion. He is a gentleman of many accomplishments. He raises exceptionally lovely Yellow Labradors and sells the puppies, more to add to the lives of the people that the puppies will go to, than for monetary gain. How ever he is also a terrible prankster and can't resist calling other breeders  inquiring into their price per pound, for puppy, as his wife love puppy. (just to hear the reaction).

Fun With Sheep.

When I saw this video it made me laugh and think about how men with too much time on their hands can be so amazing. Bravo Men!

I Know How He Feels.

Don't you Think?

Not Quite the Same.

A tourist in San Francisco is walking around in Chinatown and sees a sign that says: “Moishe Levy’s Chinese Laundry”.

He thinks, “Moishe Levy?!? Where does that come from?”

So he walks in and sees an old Chinese gentleman behind the counter. He asks, “How did a place like this get a name like “Moishe Levy’s Chinese Laundry?”

The old man answers, “Is name of owner.”

The tourist asks, “Well, who and where is the owner?”

“Me right here,” replies the old man.

“You? How did YOU get a name like Moishe Levy?”

“Is simple. Many year ago when come this country, I stand in line at Documentation Center. Man in front is Jewish gentleman from Poland. Lady look at him and go, ‘What your name?’ He say, ‘Moishe Levy.’ Then she look at me and go, ‘What your name?’ I say, ‘Sem Ting’.

So of course, when ever any one in the house makes a reply that anything is the same, it is always Sem Ting.

This joke has been around forever. I don't know the original author.

Someone Had Some Upsadaisium.

This picture was taken in my kitchen too. My husband has broken out the accordion and his wood shop teacher from high school is doing a head stand. Of course this must happen in every ones kitchens. Right? I believe this occurred after a day of bottling wine with a bunch of dear friends. Getting to know my husband's shop teacher, explains a lot about why he is called The Mad Woodchuck.

Wilder Love.

The other day we got to thinking about Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner, how funny they were and how much they added to our lives. Then we got to thinking about how their marriage must have been and yes, their sex lives.

"Gildna, are you awake? I thought we were going to play doctor."

"Geeene, you want me to do what? Is this right? If my mother knew how right she was, I'd never hear the end of it."

Look Up!



On a warm spring day we took some friends of ours for a ride in the Santa Cruz Mountains and then over the hill to see the beach and stop in Pescadero to have a look around. It was so nice that we put the top down on the car and laughed at the wind. Upon arriving in Pescadero, we parked the car near the Wood Fire Pizza Resturant and left the top of the car down. We bought some coffees and headed out doors to take some photos and head south down the coast to complete the Sunday drive. When we got back to the car we noticed that the birds had been busy. They were having a competion to see who could land one on the drivers seat, who could hit the passengers seat and which one was cunning enough to cover the back seat. I'm sure they kept score. We laughed thinking what they said to each other, 'Stupid humans, left their top down, hey you guys get over here, stupid humans, look Charlie hit the steering wheel Ca Ca Ha.' It didn't take too long to clean it up, and it reminded us to look up when we park with the top down. 

I'll get it!

What'd He Say?

The man behind the wheel swears under his breath,
as he sees in his rear view mirror that he is getting pulled over by a state trooper.
 His almost deaf wife says in a loud voice, "What'd you say?"
"I am getting pulled over," He shouts to her.
As the trooper walks up to the window and asks the driver for his license.
"What'd he say?" yells his wife.
"He wants my license." He yells back.
"You Carl Freeze?" the trooper asks.
"What'd he say?" the wife yells again.
"He asked my name?" her husband retorts.
"You from Trenton, New Jersey? I got the worst piece of @ss I ever had in my whole life in Trenton," the trooper states.
"What'd he say? she shouts again.
"He said he thinks he knows ya." Her husband replies forcefully.
Carl Freeze told me this joke, I have no idea where he heard it first. Yet in our lives we answer the question, "What'd you say?" with," He says he thinks he knows ya."

Dalai Joshua?

As Joshua has shown a fixation for his Grandfather's Tibetan Singing bowl it made us wonder...
Once the High Lamas have found the home and the boy they believe to be the reincarnation, the boy undergoes a series of tests to affirm the rebirth. They present a number of artifacts, only some of which belonged to the previous Dalai Lama, and if the boy chooses the items which belonged to the previous Dalai Lama, this is seen as a sign, in conjunction with all of the other indications, that the boy is the reincarnation. I think it is safe to say that Joshua is not the reincarnation, however one never really knows.
