A retired man went to the Social Security office to apply for ben- efits. He forgot his drivers license to verify his age. But the woman said it was ok to not have it. She asked him to just unbutton his shirt; took one look at his silver hair on the chest and said it was proof enough and went on to process the benefits for him. When John got home, he told his wife about his experience. She retorted that if he would have unbuttoned his pants, he likely could have gotten disability, too. And then the fight started....

Bobby, 5, had practiced his line for the program: *We found the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes.* But he was nervous and said, *The baby was wrapped in wrinkled clothes.* His 4 year old sister, Mary, said, "That's not wrinkled clothes, silly. That's dirty, rotten clothes.* The siblings broke out in a wrestling match. Mary lost the doll representing Baby Jesus and it bounced down the aisle crying, *Mama.* The fight was finally stopped by an angel, who bent her halo and lost her left wing. It was funny to all the audience, except the parents of the fighters, Bobby and Mary.

Just before Christmas, an honest politician, a generous lawyer & Santa Claus all got in the same elevator at the Ritz Hotel. As they travelled to the 5th floor, one by one, they noticed a $100 bill lying on the floor. Which one picked up the bill and turned it in to the lost and found? Santa, of course; the other 2 do not exist.

Lewis was returning from a business trip near Christmas time. The airport had turned a tacky red and green & loudspeakers blared annoying Christmas pop songs. Lewis loved Christmas and tried to remain positive. As he approached the check-in desk, he saw cheap plastic mistletoe hanging near the counter. He jokingly said to the attendant, *I would never kiss a beautiful you under such a ghastly mockery of mistletoe.* The check-in gal replied, *Look more closely where the mistletoe is. It is above the luggage scale and is there so you can kiss your luggage goodbye. Merry Christmas.*
MONDAY, December 21, 2009 37 loads today Alfalfa was called steady today while the prices on grass reflect lower quality in general.
This quote is from one of Freida's favorite authors, Max Lucado: *When it comes to goodies and candy, cherub cheeks and red noses, go to the North pole. But when it comes to eternity, forgiveness, purpose and truth, go to the manger. Kneel with the Shepherds. And worship the God who dared to do what man dared not dream.* Luke 2:11 *Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord.* HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS
MONDAY, December 28, 2009 10 loads today Light sale today because of the weather.
Wasn't this a great way to celebrate Christmas? Certainly slowed me down, all we could do was wait and enjoy the great snow storm. Our kids and families made it home, one a few days early and the others a day or two later. One of our sons is a physician and when he comes home my husband can't help but ask him about his latest owie. When Jim asked Chris about his toenails which have turned gradually darker, Chris said, sit down Dad and let me take a look. After examining them a few minutes, he put his hand on his dads knee and said sympathetically, Dad, your career as foot model is over!

A few quotes from Bill Gates Life is not fair - get used to it. You will not make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You wont be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. If you mess up, its not you parents fault, so dont whine about your mistakes, learn from them. Be nice to nerds. Chances are youll end up working for one.
