It is with great regret and sadness --

My Mother loved each & every one of you.. I made her a promise,
With a smile on her face, surrounded by her loving Family, Mother
slipped into a comma last Friday eve. and found her way to
Summerland.

I will leave with you a Poem she wrote:

Summerland

Oh Great Spirit, hold me tight
Carry me into your Blessed Light.

Take away all pain & then
gentally lay me in Summerland.

God & Goddess, stay with me
till my Spirit becomes free.

No tears, no weeping,
A soft smile for keeping.

And when the wind brushes your face,
it is me, from my Summer place.

Thank you for being her FRIEND!

Julie Andrews

It wouldn't be funny if it wasn't so true... Julie Andrews turns 69 - To
commemorate her 69th birthday on October 1, actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews
made a special appearance at Manhattan 's Radio City Music Hall for the
benefit of the AARP. One of the musical numbers she performed was "My
Favorite Things" from the legendary movie "Sound Of Music."
Here are the lyrics she used: Go on: sing along with it !!


Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillac's and cataracts, and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the pipes leak,
When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Back pains, confused brains, and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short, shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ache,
When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.


(Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over
four minutes and repeated encores.)
Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humor with others who would
appreciate it.

ULTIMATE FEMALE JOKE

It has long been contended that there are male jokes and there are
female jokes, and there are unisex jokes. Here is a joke I consider a true female joke. I offer it to you in the hopes that women will love it and men will pass it along to a woman who will love it.

A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy,middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off of him.

The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her. (As All men will.) Before she could offer her apologies for staring so rudely, he leaned over and whispered to her,
"I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $20.00................on one condition"

Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words."

The woman considered his proposition for a moment, and then slowly removed a $20 bill from her purse, which she pressed into the man's hand along with her Address.

She looked deeply into his eyes, and slowly and meaningfully
said..............>

"Clean my house."

(YOU GO, GIRL!)

May your neighbors respect you, Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you, And Heaven accept you.

THE REDHEAD

A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to talk with her.

Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket toward the man.

He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back.
"Oh my, I am so sorry," the woman says as she pops her eye back in place.

"I'm sure that must have embarrassed you so let me pay for your dinner to make it up to you," she says.

They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they go to the theater followed by drinks. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he listens, he shares his and she listens.

After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast.

They have a wonderful, wonderful time.

The next morning, she cooks a gourmet breakfast with all the trimmings. The guy is amazed and totally impressed. Everything had been SO incredible!

"You know," he said, "you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet? "

"No," she replies. . . .







"You just happened to catch my eye."


(oh shut up!) ROFLMBO!

Dick Cheney and George W. Bush were having breakfast at the White House.
The  attractive waitress asks Cheney what he would like, and he
replies, "I'd like a bowl of oatmeal and some fruit..."

 "And what can I get for you, Mr. President?"

 George W. looking up from his menu, replies with his trademark wink and slight grin.... "How about a quickie this morning?"

 "Why, Mr. President!" the waitress exclaims "How rude! You're starting to act like Mr. Clinton! "

 As the waitress storms away, Cheney leans over to Bush and
 whispers........."It's pronounced, 'Quiche'"
