Whoopeee---had a sale Thurs. with no snow, but we got a good cover (5 to 6 inches) again this morning. At least it is not blowing---yet anyway! To our beloved carpenter Mark who cut his finger badly this morning and YOU if you are having a bad day: Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But do not worry; God never blinks. (Freida)

Maxine says, *I was in the restaurant yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately needed to pass gas. The music was really, REALLY loud, so I timed my gas with the beat of the music. After a couple of songs, I started to feel better. I finished my coffee and noticed everybody was staring at me...Then I suddenly remem- bered I was listening to my iPod.... and HOW WAS YOUR DAY?*
MONDAY, February 8, 2010 11 loads today The sale was steady to strong, but not enough here to really test the market. The forecast kept MANY people away, but the weather actually turned out better than forecast...it is COLD and we have some wind after it snowed off and on all weekend. Tomorrow morning might be worse with wind and more snow!
DID YOU KNOW... Saint Valentine*s Day is a holiday celebrated on Feb. 14 by many people throughout the WORLD. It is named after two among the numerous early Christian MARTYRS named Valentine. The day became associated with love in the circle of Chaucer in the high middle ages, when courtly love flourished. Aristotle said *Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.*
A good test to discover who is your real and best friend at this Valentine Day time. This really works. If you don't believe it, just try this experiment. Put your dog and your spouse, lover, or significant other in the trunk of the car for an hour. When you open the trunk, which one is really happy to see you?

Government surveyors came to McGill's farm homestead north of the Valley and asked if they could do some surveying. Paul agreed and his mom even served them a nice meal at noon. Just recently the two surveyors stopped by and told Paul, *Because you were so kind to us, we wanted to give you this bad news in person instead of by letter. After our work we discovered your farm is not in Iowa, but is actually in Minnesota!* Paul looked at his mom and said, *That is the best news I have heard in a long time; I just said this morning, I do not think I can take another winter in Iowa!* Another mini we caught: *Last week the groundhog saw his shadow, meaning 6 more weeks of winter. That is good news. I was beginning to think winter would last until May.* Duane Behrens.

Some quotes from Ronald Reagan: Government is like a baby; an alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other. If we ever forget we are one nation UNDER God, then we will be a nation gone UNDER.

Brian, the gynecologist, became fed up with malpractice insurance & HMO paperwork & decided to become a mechanic. Off to a tech school to take classes he went & learned all he could. The practical final exam was taken & Brian was surprised to find he had gotten a score of 150%. Fearing an error, he called the instructor to ask if there was an error in his grade. The teacher said absolutely not! *Taking the engine apart perfectly was worth 50%. Putting it back to gather perfectly was worth 50% which equaled an A for you. But I gave you an extra 50% because you did it all through the muffler which I have never seen in my entire career!*
