LUCY, I'M HOME!
Celoron, N.Y. is the hometown of the "First Lady of Comedy"...Lucille Ball.
This is Lucy's childhood home. It was open for tours for many years but now is a private residence. The video below was made by the present owners:
The town park has a statue that was donated by a local family. A few years ago, there was a lot of talk about how the town wanted it removed because they thought it didn't look like Lucy, but it's still there!
If you ever get the chance, it's worth the visit!

It's a small town near Jamestown, N.Y. We visited there this past spring and the whole town is dedicated to her.
They are Lucy crazy!!
Huge photo billboards all over town,
a Lucy- Desi Museum, (that was great)
Desilu Studios that was part of the tour,
One of the displays was a magazine advertisement saying in the 50's you could buy a bedroom suite just like the one Lucy and Desi had on the show!
Every year there is a Lucille Ball Comedy Festival.
These huge murals were on parking garages.

In the video, notice the unusual painting of the garage doors,
painted like the dress we all remember!

On the lighter side...
It was autumn, and the Indians on a remote reservation asked their new Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was an Indian Chief in a modern society he had never been taught the old secrets, so when he looked at the sky he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared.
But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is the coming winter going to be cold?"
"It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed," the Meteorologist at the weather service responded. So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood in order to be prepared.
One week later he called the National Weather Service again. "Is it going to be a very cold winter?"
"Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter."
The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of wood they could find. Two weeks later he called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"
"Absolutely," the man replied. "It's going to be one of the coldest winters ever."
"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.
The weatherman replied, "The Indians are collecting wood like crazy."

Did you read about the little boy who returned home after his first Sunday school class?
His mother asked, "Who was your teacher?'
and the little boy answered,
"I don't remember her name, but she must have been Jesus' grandma because she didn't talk
about anyone else."
Have a blessed Sunday!

On the lighter side........
An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly."
The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?"
The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the one that is red and has thorns."
"Do you mean a rose?"
"Yes," the man said. He turned toward the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"
Enjoy the day!

A man came home from work one day and found total mayhem. The three children were outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud. Empty food boxes and wrappers were strewn across the yard. When he went inside, the mess was even worse. A lamp had been knocked over and the throw rug was wadded against the wall.
In the front room, the tv was loudly blaring on a cartoon channel and the family room was strewn with toys and clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, cereal had been spilled on the counter, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over more piles of clothes and toys to look for his wife. He was becoming worried that she may be ill or that something serious had happened. He found her in the bedroom, still curled in the bed in her pajamas, reading a book. She looked up at him and smiled and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked "What happened here today?" She smiled and answered "You know how every day when you come home from work, you ask me what I do all day?" "Yes" he said, baffled. "Well," she said "today I didn't do it."

As the plate was passed, a little boy in the second pew, quickly slipped off his neck tie and placed it into the offering plate. His mother, absolutely mortified, asked him what in the world he thought he was doing. The boy replied, "The pastor said put your ties in the offering plate and do it joyfully. I love that man!"
It's a bummer to get old.....
Two very elderly ladies were enjoying the sunshine on a park bench in Miami.
They had been meeting at the park every sunny day, for over 12 years...
chatting, and enjoying each others friendship.
One day, the younger of the two ladies, turns to the other and says..."Please don't be angry with me dear, but I am embarrassed, after all these years... What is your name? I am trying to remember, but I just can't."
The older friend stares at her, looking very distressed, says nothing for 2 full minutes, and finally with tearful eyes, says...
"How soon do you have to know?"
Stop on over.....

Little Rodney, 4 years old, walked down the beach, and as he did, he spied a matronly woman sitting under a beach umbrella on the sand. He walked up to her and asked, "Are you a Christian?"
Look at that profile photo, isn't she just too cute?
I just became a follower, I think you will too.

"Yes," she replied.
"Do you read your Bible every day?"
She nodded her head, "Yes."
"Do you pray often?" the boy asked next, and again she answered, "Yes."
With that he asked his final question, "Will you hold my quarter while I go swimming?"
Friday the 13th...Bah Humbug!
The fear of Friday the 13th
is called friggatriskaidekaphobia, frigga, meaning "Friday ... 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day.
LEGEND HAS IT: Never change your bed on Friday; it will bring bad dreams.
Don't start a trip on Friday or you will have misfortune.
If you cut your nails on Friday, you cut them for sorrow.
It is believed that spilling salt brings bad luck. To undo the bad effects of spilled salt one is advised to throw some salt over the shoulder to prevent bad spirits from following him.
Most U.S. buildings mislabel their 13th floor. The same strategy often applies to hospitals, city streets and air travel.
Ships that set sail on a Friday will have bad luck – as in the tale of H.M.S. Friday ... One hundred years ago, the British government sought to quell once and for all the widespread superstition among seamen that setting sail on Fridays was unlucky. A special ship was commissioned, named "H.M.S. Friday."
They laid her keel on a Friday,
launched her on a Friday,
selected her crew on a Friday
and hired a man named Jim Friday to be her captain.
To top it off, H.M.S. Friday embarked on her maiden voyage on a Friday,
and was never seen or heard from again.
Hogwash.....I don't believe in luck, good or bad and all this seems very exhusting to me ...trying to stay lucky.

My wife was in labor with our first child. Things were going pretty well when suddenly she began to shout, "Shouldn't! Wouldn't! Couldn't! CAN'T!"
"Doctor, what's wrong with my wife!" I cried.
"It's perfectly normal," he reassured me, "She's just having her contractions."
( Oh, come on, you KNOW that made you crack a smile...:) :)
A church-going cowboy lost his favorite Bible while he was mending fences out on the range.
The next morning a cow walked up carrying the Bible in it's mouth. The cowboy couldn't believe his eyes!
He took the book out of the cow's mouth, raised his eyes heaven-ward and exclaimed, "Praise God! It's a miracle!"
"Not really...." said the cow. "Your name was written inside the cover."
Have a great day!

"What Seems to Be the Problem, Officer?"
Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 mph. He thinks to himself, "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over.
Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies -- two in the front seat and three in the back -- wide eyed and white as ghosts.
The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?"
"Ma'am," the officer replies, "you weren't speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers."
"Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly...Twenty-two miles an hour!" the old woman says a bit proudly. The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that "22" was the route number, not the speed limit.
A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error.
"But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask . . . Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time," the officer asks.
"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119."
Have a good weekend!

Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car.
Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a white bag on the seat next to Sally.
"What's in the bag?" asked the old woman.
Sally looked down at the bag and, smiling, said, "It's a box of chocolates. I got it for my husband."
The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said: "Good trade."

Thought to Ponder: Why is it that when you eat too much for lunch, you feel drowsy all afternoon, but when you eat a big meal in the evening, you stay awake all night?
Have a good Thursday!
Have you ever ...
come home after a busy day
and just want to relax watching a mindless comedy?
Tonight I watched
" I love you to Death "
with Kevin Kline
and Tracey Ullman
1990
Joey works with Rosalie in their pizza parlor. She is convinced that he works all of the time for them and her world dissolves when she finds that he has been fooling around for years. Divorce is against her religion, so she and her mother and her best friend decide to kill him. Hopelessly incompetent as killers, they hire incompetent professionals as they beat, poison, and shoot Joey who remains oblivious to their attempts.
Not Academy Award material... but just what I needed.
