That's up to you, I guess, me, I'm just gonna wear an old pair of denim shorts & a non-see thru-when-it-gets-wet t-shirt. Might wanna bring a towel but that's about all you'll need.
Hey everybody!! Just got back from scoutin' out the site for the picnic, what a beautiful place this park is, even saw a few deer & a rabbit while we were there!!
And what great people Don "The Kansan" and Jackie "Jackson" are!!!! We met this morning for the first time and they made me feel right at home with them. Ya'll are just gonna love them. Soon as they get home Don will be posting some pics he took on his cell phone of the picnic site we picked out. Don't worry folks there are restrooms right there!!!
Oh, and lots of trees to hide behind for when we have our watergun fights!!! lol Which reminds me, anybody got a checkerboard or backgammon game or any other type of board game they would like to bring along?? There are lots of places to relax & play a quiet game if you've a mind to. Maybe even a deck of cards & we can play Hearts or Spades or Poker or whatever.
Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, 'Why is the bride dressed in white?' The mother replied, 'Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life.' The child thought about this for a moment then said, 'So why is the groom wearing black?' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as she could, trying not to be late for Bible class. As she ran she prayed, 'Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord, please don't let me be late!' While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and fell, getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She got up, brushed herself off, and started running again! As she ran she once again began to pray, 'Dear Lord, please don't let me be late...But please don't shove me either!' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, 'My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50.' The second boy says, 'That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100.' The third boy says, 'I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it takes eight people to collect all the money!' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An elderly woman died last month. Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, she wrote, 'They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, I don't want them to take me out when I'm dead.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A police recruit was asked during the exam, 'What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother?' He answered, 'Call for backup.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Sunday School teacher asked her class why Joseph and Mary took Jesus with them to Jerusalem. A small child replied, 'They couldn't get a baby-sitter.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to 'Honor thy father and thy mother,' she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?' Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, 'Thou shall not kill.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs. Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and she said, 'Johnny, what is the matter?' Little Johnny responded, 'I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two boys were walking home from Sunday school after hearing a strong preaching on the devil. One said to the other, 'What do you think about all this Satan stuff?' The other boy replied, 'Well, you know how Santa Claus turned out. It's probably just your Dad.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing! Take heed and pass these along to people who need a laugh.
What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others."

My son just got home from work and said a few trees were knocked over and one hawk escaped when a tree fell on the display & broke a hole in the fence. No animals were hurt or killed though. One of the female chimps was pregnant and the stress of the storm caused her to go into labor a little early. Mom & baby are just fine!!!
We had quite a storm here yesterday!!! The power was knocked out about 5:30 pm and didn't come back on on until after midnight. We had no tv, cable or internet. I was going crazy without my computer!!! lol. In our next door neighbor's yard a 40 to 50 foot pine tree was knocked down by the wind!!! Luckily the tree didn't fall on the house or cars, or on our property. We didn't suffer too much damage, just a few big branches were knocked down, mostly in our driveway, (it's a long driveway, about 75 yards long). There was a lot of damage of trees & power lines knocked down all over the Knoxville area, but so far on the news there have been no deaths, Thank God!! They said on the news this has been on of the worst storms in this area in a very long time, I'm just thankful we are all ok.
Well that's about it for now, I'm getting ready to go help my brother clean up the yard & driveway. My son has his work cut out for him at the zoo today, I just hope none of the animals were hurt or killed. I'm sure I'll get a full report from him when he gets home this afternoon.
