We had mentioned there would be sandwiches, chips, and drinks. WRONG...When everyone began bringing their food, we filled the gazebo. Even had someone furnish a roasted pig.
Several brought salads and we had hamburgers, hotdogs and plenty of desserts and several watermelons. We even had some freezers of home-made ice cream.
Very good time enjoyed by everyone. Looks like we are going to have to enlarge our gazebo for our get togethers.
This is the story of their life in the wilds, a secret the hero has been keeping, and the resolution of her secret past. Even though this is a novel, all the facts are based on history as to the founding of Florida and the war with the Indians which was declared by President Andrew Jackson.
I had a good history lesson, but the book also kept me waiting to turn the page to see what happens next.
This is the funniest movie I have seen lately. It surely is a spoof of the Westminster Kennel Club Annual Show. The characters and the dogs are sweet. I think anyone who watches this will enjoy. There aren't really any famous stars, but many who will seem familiar. ENJOY!!

But somehow it seems to me
That maybe we are stationed
Where God wants us to be.
That little place we're filling
Is the reason for our birth,
And just to do the work we do,
He sent us down to earth.
If God had wanted otherwise
I reckon He'd have made
Each of us a little different
Of a worse or better grade;
And since God knows and understands
All things of land and sea
I fancy he has placed us here,
Just where He wanted us to be.
Sometimes we get to thinking,
As our labors we review,
That we should like a higher place
With greater things to do.
Then we come to the conclusion
When the envying is still,
That the post to which God has us
Is the post He wanted filled.
There isn't any
service we should scorn,
For it may be just the reason
God allowed us to be born.

Although it's no doubt hard to ignore the pleading eyes of your adoring pet, it's best to turn away and not give in to his pleas for more food. Here are some suggestions to help with this problem your pet might be having:
USE FEEDING GUIDES AS A RECOMMENDATION ONLY. Pet food packages will often recommend how much to feed your pet. However, this really depends on your pet's age, activity level, and size. Use your own judgement.
TRY NOT TO USE THE "FREE FEED" METHOD. In other words, resist leaving food out for your pet all day long. This can contribute to overeating.
PROVIDE YOUR PET WITH MORE EXERCISE. Take him out for an extra little walk, or play with her in the house for half an hour. Every little bit helps.
SEVERE WEIGHT LOSS OR GAIN SHOULD BE CHECKED BY YOUR VET. If you think you're feeding your pet adequately but he loses weight, or your pet suddenly starts gaining weight, consult with your vet.
OLDER AND OVERWEIGHT PETS MAY BE SWITCHED TO SPECIAL DIETS. There are lots of high-quality pet food formulated especially for senior pets, as well as plenty of low-calorie diets. You may want to consult with your vet to get recommendations.
2. In an office in Detroit, Michigan: Would the person who took the step ladder yesterday kindly bring it back or further steps will be taken.
3. Dinner Special-- Turkey $2.35; Chicken or Beef $2.25; Children $2.00.
Complaint: 1. Unlawful entry/use of established business
2. Defamation of character
3. Disturbing the fish
4. Loud and raucous noise
5. Sub-letting said building to relatives and sundry characters.
In as much as my client has enjoyed (for over 3 years) the use of the building in question as SmokyJim's Bait Shop, it appears that another person(s) have chosen to commandeer said premises for their own use.
We, the team of WantItAll and Cheetum, are proceeding in court to have this woman evicted, along with her noisy family, so that He can continue his business in a friendly and quiet atmosphere.
We would like to reach a peaceful solution to this matter. However, if said defendant(Babe) chooses to be stubborn, obstinate and/or otherwise annoying, we have no choice but to ask the court to forcibly evict her and compensate our client for his loss of privacy.
We shall look forward to your publishing this in your newsletter and/or handling it in any way you see fit... as long as my client wins!!!!
Sincerely, Dewey Cheetum

At first Doris' group began as a ceramic class of 18 women that met once a week on Wednesdays. Now it has become a group of friends that spend a great deal of time together. They are all widows that enjoy movies, eating out, and especially bus trips. The members suggest different places to go. They have found that there are so many things planned for seniors to get involved with. Not all members can go to every activity, but they are always busy. Doris says that they are a great bunch of women that all have one thing in common...FUN!!!
DIDYOUKNOW?In the 6th century, the Pope made it a law to say "God Bless You" when someone sneezed. That is where it got its start.
