Traveling to MI via I-80 on Dec. 21,
we noted an unusual amount of 18
wheelers headed west. My husband
set the odometer and I started counting-
only the semis!! (What else can you
do when traveling?) When I reached
100, Jim said we had gone 10 miles.
This was just east of Iowa City. Nearer
Chicago I decided to do it again. This
time when I reached 100, we had gone
8.5 miles. Where were all those semis
headed? West for the holidays?
As we enter a New Year: the bad news
is time flies; the good news is you are
the pilot.

A blonde in Florida went to her
local shoe store, wanting to buy
alligator shoes. She was upset
by the price and said she*d go catch
an alligator and get her pair much
cheaper. *Be my guest,* said the
clerk. On his way home, he decided
to drive by the local swamp and see
if the blonde was there. Yep, he saw
her toting a shotgun and dragging
out a 9 ft. gator. He got out and
watched...She flipped that gator
over and laid him beside 9 others
on shore. *Well, drat it, this one
is not wearing shoes either!* she
called out.

The quality of alfalfa was very
good today. Grass was steady
to weak today.

a powerful & just weapon...
which cuts without wounding &
ennobles the man who wields
it. It is a sword that heals!*
His was a voice of reason in a
time of insanity, silenced too
soon in 1968. (from Ann

COLD, but sunny & calmer wind.
Even though Christmas has passed,
the nativity scene in a small southern
town had a feature that bothered me.
The 3 wise men wore firemen*s helmets.
When I asked a local at the Quik Stop
about it, she exploded! *Don*t you
stupid Yankees read the Bible?* I
assured her I did, but couldn*t recall
anything about firemen in the Bible.
She jerked her Bible from behind
the counter, ruffled some pages &
jabbed her finger at a passage.
Sticking it in my face, she said in
her drawl, *It says right here,
*The 3 wise man came from afar.**

Winter has come to Rock Valley. Since
Thurs. 6 to 8 inches snow fell. The market
was weak. Crowd was small, so it was a
light test today.
Heard in church yesterday:
2 brothers lived in a small town & were
disliked by all the townspeople. These
brothers were scoundrels, always pulling
off scams & just no-goods. One brother
died. The other went to the local priest
to ask him to eulogize his brother at his
burial. *No way,* said the priest, *You
know everyone is happy he is gone &
how he*s cheated everyone and more.*
The brother said, *I*ll pay you well to say
just a few words & I want the word SAINT
used in the eulogy.* The priest thought &
decided maybe he could work something out
for the big bucks being offered. So when he
spoke, the priest said, *The brother lying
here was no good and not liked by anyone
in this town, BUT compared to his brother
over there, he was a saint.*
(used to illustrate Zaacheus before he met Jesus)

Beautiful weather for January.
Our annual HAY DAY event is set for MARCH 29!
Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that
says, *If there*s an emergency, notify ______,* I
put DOCTOR. What*s my husband going to do??
Joe met a woman wearing a sweat shirt with
*GUESS* on it; so he said *Implants?*

Super Bowl XLVI on Sun., Feb. 5, 2012:
If your wife is pregnant and due soon, you must
never say, "Can*t they induce labor this week?
Super Bowl is Sunday!*
What do you call a New York Giant fan holding
a bottle of champagne after the Super Bowl?
A waiter.

around you was smiling. Live your life so that when
you die, you are the one smiling and everyone around
you is crying.* - Laura Fletcher
