Another Monday morning, however, this one is cold (burr). Walt's has gone or will be leaving to head out to Staunton again for a portion of the week. I told him that he really needs to dress warm. Most likely he'll take his coveralls with him this trip. Those should do the trick on top of his winter barn jacket.
I was able to get Miss Carla's nails trimmed this morning without her going into orbit. She even tolerated a second swipe at one as a demonstration to Lilly. Who without a doubt refused to have anything to do with getting her nails clipped. She was off and running like a rocket shot into space. Another day...
Half the laundry is done, now I just need Sean to bring his down and it will be through. I've left word on Mom's cell phone to come by and see the new outfit. I'm just so pleased with it. I had a lovely talk with Aunt Jo today, she was in quite a jovial mood and our conversation was such a delight.
Mom came by to see the new outfit. So I modeled it for her and she took pictures, which we sent to Alice, who fixed them. Now it looks much better.
I had a bit of unexpected excitement here this evening. I was watching television with the girls while Sean was upstairs and Dean was at school, when all of a sudden Tweat's cage bounced off the floor. The girls went whacky and there was seed everywhere. Turned out that the hook that her cage was hanging from worked its way out of the sheetrock and just let go. Ending with Tweat and her cage in the floor. Tweat was a bit shook up, but she seems to have settled down.

Thought for the Day: "This became a credo of mine...attempt the impossible in order to improve your work." Bette Davis
When I was married 25 years, I took a look at my wife one day and said, "Honey, 25 years ago, we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25-year-old blonde."
"Now, we have a nice house, nice car, big bed and plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 50-year-old woman. It seems to me that you are not holding up your side of things."
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 25-year-old blonde, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.
Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve your mid-life crisis.
Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by the pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humour. By the way, this airline is the only major airline that has never had an accident.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're for.
P:IFF inoperative.
S:IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right

Prayer Request
- May today there be peace within.
- May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
- May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
- May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
- May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
- Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think
there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is
what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have the compassion and ideas.
They give moral support
to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
