A Wee Chuckle for the day

When a woman got married she put a shoebox in the closet and told her husband not to open it.

After over 50 years of marriage she was dying and told him to open the box.

When he opened it there were 2 doilies and £85,000

He ask why this was in the box.

She replied “when I got married my mother told me to crochet a doily every time I got mad at you.

He smile thinking she was only mad twice and ask what the £85,000 was.

She replied ............that's the money from selling the doilies.

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Morning friends, hope everyone is ok.
Think we are in for a dull, wet day here, well if the forecast is right that is.
Am just having a cuppa and enjoying the peace while the family are in bed, I love this time of day, helps me keep sane............well as sane as possible.lol
Oh it's raining, what a surprise!!
Hope you all have a good day whatever you are doing.
Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx :-) :-) :-)

Hello Linda, sounds like you had a lovely birthday, so glad you enjoyed it.

Wonder where everyone is? having trouble getting on here or watching the funeral?

The GR site seems to be giving a lot of people trouble. wish the owners would all pull together and get all the problems sorted, they keep saying they are working on them, but nothing changes. If they want to keep paying members they are not going the right way about it.

Hope everyone is ok~~~~~~~~~~to all members.
Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx :-) :-) <3

Thank you for the Birthday Wishes and to Pauline for the e-card from you all too.

Marilyn hopefully you will feel a little better every day. Especially if the weather improves too.

Hubby took me out for lunch, that was nice, just the two of us.

Out with my friends again on Thursday so will need to be watchful. But I will still enjoy myself

Hope everyone has a good day

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi My Lovelies,

I have posted on Shelly thread for more news . :-)

I hope to get better by the day now although I'm still very weak I'm determined to join my friends on friendly....just give me time.

Stevey ...I'm so glad you had a good holiday, that was a lovely surprise for Mrs Stevey.

To all my friends on here so sorry to not have been able to talk to you all but I have been reading some of the threads from my bed . but too tired to answer you all.

Pauline has rang me several times but was unable to answer ....Pete has had the pleasure to chat her up ..LOL

I will ring her tomorrow , and have a well deserved chat .

Looking forward to Spring and better health.

Bless you all.......Marilyn xxxxxxxx <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Morning everyone
Any news on Marilyn? Hope she is doing OK

Glad you had a good time whilst away Stephen

Mo are you getting better too?

Yvonne sorry to hear about your horse, but at least you will keep her and enjoy her company

Huia are you still recovering from your walk? You do really well and keep yourself busy

Enjoyed having the family all here, but ate far too much, why do we do that at BBQ's? Still an active day today, babysitting Sebastian, so should burn a few extra calories.

Have a good day everyone and hopefully the weather is becoming more springlike.

A Wee Chuckle for the day

Late one night a mugger wearing a ski mask jumped into the path of a well-dressed man and stuck a gun in his ribs......

"Give me your money," he demanded.

Indignant, the affluent man replied, "you can't do this – I 'm a Member of Parliament!"

"In that case," replied the mugger, "give me MY money."

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Morning everyone,
Oh Yvonne you must be very upset about Ami, hope she will enjoy her retirement, and remain painfree so that she can at least have the occasional trot round her field. Will you get another horse so that you can still ride?
Marilyn I do hope you are starting to feel better now. Take care.
Stephen glad you enjoyed your holiday, don't work too hard now you are back home.
Huia, you are a very busy lady, hope you make time for a little relaxation.
Linda are you still knitting for your grandchildren or for the hospital? I hope your husband is feeling better now.
I had so many plans for working in the garden today but it is blowing a gale so nothing will get done.
~~~~~~~~~to all our friends, take care and stay safe.
Jean xx :-) :-) :-)

Morning Folks,

Life is getting back to normal.......had all the family round for a meal yesterday, magic , needless to say they brought a list of jobs they need doing :-D :-D :-D :-D

Lady Stephen got a big surprise when she opened her Easter Cards and found some Polish cash , Hotel Reservations and finally Flight Tickets to Poland. She was overjoyed to say the least. ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) Our family secret worked.

The snow in the Tatra Mountains was very deep but firm and with no wind it wasn't too cold so we managed to get some good walking done We didn't do any ski-ing as we wanted to stay high in the mountains.
In the town of Zakopane the snow was piled up at the edge of the road to a depth of about 6ft in places.
The buildings in Zakopane area are made in a particular style from wood and are fantastic.

The town square in Krakow is stunning. We visited the Jewish Ghetto area and Oscar Shindlers Factory also a trip to Auschwich Concentration Camps
.All very fascinating.

Did a bit of Family Tree Searching for relations of a Polish Brother in Law. Sadly no positive results but I have made a couple of contacts who will now help my search and we will keep in touch by email.

Yvonne, That's sad about your horse. No doubt she will still be happy being cared for and loved by the family.

I'll catch up on the rest of the news later.

Marilyn......Get well soon. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi everyone

cooeee I'm back! Been trying to get on here since Wednesday, logged on to change my email addy on GR which failed so I had to contact the support team to sort it out which they did quite quickly

Stephen, Pleased you and Mrs Stephen had a nice time away

Jean, Ami is out in the field during the day now but she is still lame so I've decided to retire her, the vet said that she will not get better so she is on painkillers to keep her comfortable.

<3

Morning all
Hope everyone is well
Sorry not been adding Jean, life taking over as usual
Hubby has had a really bad ear infection, still suffering.

I am still knitting like a crazy woman, at least it stops me eating. LOL

Have all the family coming on Sunday, hopefully for a BBQ, so long as it is dry enough for hubby to cook. Then babysitting Sebastian on Monday.

Waiting to see Marilyn back here.

Glad you had a lovely break Stephen, was Mrs Stephen surprised?
Back to the work now eh?

Have a good weekend all

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3

Morning Folks,

Home from a great holiday in the Tatra Mountains and Krakow.

Jenniwren.......we aint finished yet. The thread will keep going. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Heading out early to do some shopping for essential items.........Emulsion and gloss paint. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D Guess who has work to do.

Glad to see Marilyns back home from hospital. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hello Jeniwren. I still look in each day, but am usually going out for the day so dont reply. In fact I am going to a class reunion this morning so cant spend too long on here, and tomorrow morning I will be getting up at 4.30 or earlier in order to travel 45 mins to the Botanic Gardens, to do a 5km walk for the Hospice. Better finish my breakfast now and get ready to go out.

Huiaxxx

Hope Stephen and Mrs. Stephen enjoyed their break.
Marilyn are you feeling any better, I do hope you are.
Mo, take care love, hope you are soon feeling much better.
Yvonne how is Ami, hope she is now able to be turned out to enjoy the sun for a few hours each day.
