470 – 7 Days till Vacation!

We’re in the home stretch now… a week from Friday afternoon I’ll be on vacation! We’ve made a lot of plans for the cruise, but for the most part, it’s going to be a relaxing vacation.

I watched a bit of the “Royal Wedding” and she really is a beautiful lady! Our future queen perhaps? So much pomp and circumstance!

Our first car show is Saturday, so I’ll have the Vette out finally! WHOO HOO! Supposed to be a nice day, around 70 at least.

Mom’s doing well, so at least our worries about her are relaxing a bit.

Other than that, just a busy weekend ahead (and I have to start getting my clothes out for the cruise).

On to something funny:

Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother. The first said, "I built a big house for our mother." The second said, "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver." The third smiled and said, "I've got you both beat. You remember how mom enjoyed reading the Bible? And you know she can't see very well. So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him. He's one of a kind. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot recites it."

Soon thereafter, mom sent out her letters of thanks: "Milton," she wrote one son, "The house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house."

"Gerald," she wrote to another, "I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude!"

"Dearest Donald," she wrote to her third son, "You have the good sense to know what your mother likes. The chicken was delicious."

Have a great weekend all!
