[MaryBears]

father took his son hunting for the first time.

The father said, "Stay here and be very QUIET. I'll be across
the field." An hour later, the father heard a bloodcurdling scream and ran back to his son. "What's wrong?" the father asked. "I told you to be quiet!
" The son answered, "
Look, I was quiet when the snake slithered across my feet.
I was quiet when the bear breathed down my neck.
I didn't move a muscle when the skunk climbed over my shoulder.
I closed my eyes and held my breath when the wasp stung me.
I didn't cough when I swallowed the gnat.
I didn't cuss or scratch when the poison oak started itching.

But when the two chipmunks crawled up my pant legs and said, "Should we eat them here or take them with us? Well, I guess I just panicked!"


God is like Hallmark Cards, He knew enough to send the very best.

Good Morning Puddin,

Just winding down the week. Next week I think we only have two days of classes. Which would be a good thing.

Then the week after Thanksgiving is finals week and I have two days for that.

Won't be long and I will have a month to get some rest.

Enjoy your time off next week............and good luck with your finals. A month to get some rest.........now that is something that I can relate to. It is so nice to not have so many responsibilities once in a while. I hope that you enjoy that time off to the fullest extent. Have a great day Jaybird. I need to get going so I can get ready to leave for the hospital. I'll try real hard to get online long enough to leave a post to tell everyone how the surgery went.

Hugs..........Puddin
