God is Good ...

Hope this finds everyone doing fine during these

hot days! Do you remember how nice it was last

winter?

If you missed the game party and watermelon,

you missed a blessing. We have some that are

progressing along in 42, and it is hard to beat

them. When you do beat them, they look like

they are in a daze. The same thing in chicken

foot. I have decided that you better watch the one

keeping the score closely and maybe count your

neighbor’s dots on each domino for them!! Just

joking, glad you can have fun in both of these

games.

Since we have some big fisherman in our group, I

think that I am learning about catching the big

ones. A friend from Oklahoma sent me an old

book about Texas, and I ran across something

interesting about fishing and telling someone how

big the catch was.

An Easterner went fishing with a Texan in the

gulf. The Texan landed a huge tarpon.

“How big do you suppose he is?” inquired the

visitor excitedly?

“About fifteen inches,” replied the Texan.

“Why, man, he is bigger than you are! What do

you mean by fifteen inches?”

“Well,” replied the Texan, “down here we find it

easier to get people to believe us if we

just measure the distance between

their eyes.”

Have a great week and stay COOL,

Bro. Royce

This great nation,

In a struggle for what was right and free,

Was proudly born ...

For which our forbearers

The freedom that is inherent

In the Stars and Stripes,

Something to Think About ...

A bicycle can’t stand alone, it is two tired.

A will is a dead giveaway.

A chicken crossing the road: poultry in motion.

When a clock is hungry, it goes back for seconds.

The guy who fell into an upholstery machine was

fully recovered.

A boiled egg is hard to beat.

He had a photographic memory which was never

developed.

Those who get too big for their britches will be

exposed in the end.

When you’ve seen one shopping center, you have

seen a mall.

When she saw her first strands of gray hair, she

thought she would dye.

Bakers trade bread recipes on a knead to know

basis.

Show me a piano falling down a mine shaft and I

will show you A-flat miner.

A plateau is a mild form of flattery.

A calendar’s days are numbered.
