SKITTLES

Well there hasn't been much happening around here to blog about. I know some people can take one statement from someone and make a whole post about it. Not me. Writing is just not one of those things I'm that talented at. I certainly admire those who can.

We have been having gloomy days with rain for the most part. We do need the rain so no complaints there. It's that time of the year and it's due to start getting colder. Tomorrow it's going to be in the high 60's and then on Saturday it'll be around 45, so that's a pretty good drop, that will have me grabbing my sweater when I go outside.

Here's the latest critter to take up residence here. This one came along as a stray. It's a beautiful cat, as you can see, also very friendly. My neighbor said it had come to his house and he had petted it and gave it the name of "Skittles." So Skittles it is. Naturally it would like my house better than his. He has 4 dogs. I have 4 cats, not counting Skittles. It's okay. Skittles can stay. I haven't determined if Skittles is a male or female. My front porch is also very cat friendly with several nice warm places to get out of the wind with blankets and rugs to curl up on. There is also food readily there for eating or snacking. Then the owner comes out fairly often and pets you and scratches your belly, holds you, and tells you how cute you are. A cat's paradise you might say.

Here's a joke I hope at least makes you smile if it doesn't make you LOL.

Ma was in the kitchen fiddling around when she hollers out....
"Pa, You need to go out and fix the outhouse!"
Pa replies, "There ain't nuthin wrong with the outhouse."
Ma yells back, "Yes there is, now git out there and fix it."
So.......Pa mosies out to the outhouse, looks around and yells back,
"Ma There ain't nuthin wrong with the outhouse! "
Ma replies, "Stick yur head in the hole!"
Pa yells back, "I ain't stickin my head in that hole!"
Ma says, "Ya have to stick yur head in the hole to see what to fix."
So with that, Pa sticks his head in the hole,
looks around and yells back,
"Ma There ain't nuthin wrong with this outhouse!"
Ma hollers back, "Now take your head out of the hole!"
Pa proceeds to pull his head out of the hole, then starts yelling,
"Ma Help! My beard is stuck in the cracks in the toilet seat!"
To which Ma replies, "Hurt's, don't it ?!"

Here is a Prayer that I found and would like to dedicate it to Ralph.

Daily Prayer

So far today, God, I've done all right.
I haven't gossiped, haven't lost my temper.
I haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or over-indulgent.
I'm really glad about that.
But in a few minutes, God, I'm going to get out of bed,

and from then on, I'm probably going to need a lot of help!
Thank you in Jesus's name.
Amen.
