An elderly couple were celebrating their sixtieth anniversary. The couple had married as childhood sweethearts and had moved back to their old neighborhood after they retired. Holding hands they walked back to their old school. It was not locked, so they entered, and found the old desk they'd shared, where Andy had carved "I love you, Sally." On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armored car, practically landing at their feet. Sally quickly picked it up, but not sure what to do with it, they took it home. There, she counted the money - fifty-thousand dollars! Andy said, "We've got to give it back." Sally said, "Finders keepers." She put the money back in the bag and hid it in their attic. The next day, two FBI agents were canvassing the neighborhood looking for the money, and knocked on the door. "Pardon me, but did either of you find a bag that fell out of an armored car yesterday?" Sally said, "No." Andy said, "She's lying. She hid it up in the attic." Sally said, "Don't believe him, he's getting senile." The agents turn to Andy and began to question him. One says: "Tell us the story from the beginning." Andy said, "Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday..."

While I like a number of males ... ... I appreciate and enjoy getting my mail, as well. 70 miles north of here, east of Lake Huron, where they get unusually large amounts of rain and snow, many rural people install a tall metal post with a curve in the top about 6 or 8 feet behind the usual mailbox post location. The pipe from the curve, about 6 to 8 feet above the level of the road, ends above just where the usual mailbox would be and there's a chain hanging down, holding the mailbox at the usual location. When the wing of the snowplough, or the snow that it throws, hits that box ... it just flies around a bit then settles down in its former location (with a smile on its face?). Maybe less smiling face on the mailcarrier on a windy day, though. Hi jem, you dandy, Is the person that repairs the dent in that car that hit your armored-car's cousin mailbox, called a "dent-ist"? o j

My DD was born in late December too. Her birthday presents were always wrapped as birthday presents. I spent the same amount of money on birthdays for her and her brother. I always tried to choose special presents for each child. Still when she grew update she said there were noticeable differences. Most of them had nothing to do with me. One was the weather was always too cold to have her party outside which was her favourite thing to do. The other was that her friends were often too busy with family to be able to have the party on her birthday day. Another thing that I could do nothing about. We just planned the party for a week later if her friends were busy. She said all in all she felt that the gifts were fair. She thought that I baked and decorated better cakes for her brother who has a mid May birthday. I never thought so but maybe I was a bit exhausted so simplified my design on the cakes. Kids can be so sensitive to this stuff even if it has nothing to do with how you feel about them. As an adult she understands that things can never be exactly fair and even. Now she says maybe her brother needs and needed very special cakes because of his illness. I won't be able to see my daughter at all for Christmas or her birthday. It will be hard but we have chosen the hard but safe route through this pandemic. Happy birthday to those of you celebrating this December. May you find a way to make it special for yourself and family.

My youngest’s current foster. Fingers crossed. This dog will be going home today with his forever family.
