~ WORDS FOR LIFE'S JOURNEY ~

Going to church doesn't make you a christian

anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car.

A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter is not a nice person.

Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

Eat well; stay fit; die anyway.

No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.

Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.

Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

For every action there is an equal and opposite government program.

And never under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night !

What happened to Summer?

With this crazy weather, It seems as though it just got started and as quick as a flash ...it's over!

I kept waiting for the flowerbeds to fill up and it didn't happen. Come to think about it, we only had to cut the grass about 4 or 5 times.
I was driving home from work two evenings in July and the car was so chilly that I had to put the heater on. What's with that???

I demand a re-count...there's an awful lot of 90* days missin' somewhere.
