Snow... It's finally here!!!

The three of us posing with the first snow man of the year....

Me, posing in my favorite weather condition.... Snow!!!!!

It was the beautiful fluffy flakes that were falling this morning...


Can you believe... Oct. 28 and the second day that it has snowed in Salem, Ohio!!!! My students were very distracted by the georgous display of the falling white stuff... so I allowed them a few moments outside to enjoy it while it lasted... As of the writing of this post the snow had already melted... :-(

So Back to the Ghetto Runner....

Ok, so you know that the bumper was ripped off my car, with virtually no damage to the human cargo driving the car, except maybe a totally shattered self esteem... But almost two weeks later, I walked out of the church on Saturday morning, to discover that my tire was flat!!!!



Thanks to the terrific help of Angel #1 My donut was put on... the tire was checked, but there didn't seem to be a problem... I took the tire to Wal-Mart, where I had purchased the tire less than a year before.... Oh there was nothing in the tire, they checked!!! Later that night after work, I came out to a very low tire :-( Being throughly disgusted and with nothing to do, being too late to do any thing, I went home....



Sunday morning it was as flat as a pancake.... A friend of mine, Angel #2 changed it from the regular tire to the donut (narrowly avoiding several bee stings in the process)... As if my ghetto runner hadn't produced enough stares :-( Now I had a donut.....



Needless to say I found a shop that could repair my tire and within one week I had my tire repaired, my bumper fix and even an old dent on the hood hammered out, well almost...



It feels like I have a new car!!!!!

Happy Mental Day!!!

This story sounded toooo much like what will happen later in my life!! lol!!!

The love story of Ralph and Edna...

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool. Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end.

He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'

Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself; I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?'

Happy Mental Health Day!
