These two jokes below were furnished by Mary. DAD.

..
There was a man walking down the street, and a security guard came up to him and said “why is there a penguin following you”? The man said I don’t know, he just followed me. The security guard, said “you take that penguin to the zoo right now”. And the man did. A couple of hours later, the man came out of the zoo with the penguin and they were walking down the street again. The security guard said “I thought I told you to take that penguin to the zoo”? The man said, “I did, he enjoyed himself so much that now I’m taking him to the park”.
**********************************************
A young businessman had just started his own firm. He'd rented a beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques. Sitting there, he saw a man come into the outer office. Wishing to appear busy, the businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal working. He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments. Finally, he hung up and asked the visitor, "Can I help you?" The man said, "Yes. I've come to install the phone!.

************************************************

Why don't we slip in and see Oreo and Misty early this morning, they may be asleep and then they may be getting ready for a little training this morning. ( I do beleive that today they have something special going on. ) You will get a welcome what ever they are doing, I always have. You know the way there by now so click Sara's Dog Training and we will see what we fiind. Be ready to smile. DAD.

Have you looked at American Profile Magazine this week. if not you should. Dad.

And here is another one Shooting My Universe that I never miss looking at.

I should stop and have one more cup of coffee, and then I need to begin to get ready for Sunday morning. Mary and I enjoy our Sunday's very much. Our Sunday morning meeting's are so helpful to keep us encouraged to keep true untill the very end.

I do want to come back to see you early Monday morning. I hope that you have a nice weekend. Smile and be kind to everyone, you might be an encouragement to someone.

I am very proud of Dad's Smile Album . This morning we added three more smiles, Misty, Oreo and Katie. That makes the album even more enjoyable to look at. You would remember that Oreo & Misty belong to Sara. DAD.
...
I like this joke, Mary gave it to us today. Thanks Mary we all need a little smile this morning. DAD .
.
There was once a man from the city who was visiting a small farm, and during this visit he saw a farmer feeding pigs in a most extraordinary manner. The farmer would lift a pig up to a nearby apple tree, and the pig would eat the apples off the tree directly. The farmer would move the pig from one apple to another until the pig was satisfied, then he would start again with another pig.
..
The city man watched this activity for some time with great astonishment. Finally, he could not resist saying to the farmer, "This is the most inefficient method of feeding pigs that I can imagine.
..
Just think of the time that would be saved if you simply shook the apples off the tree and let the pigs eat them from the ground! The farmer looked puzzled and replied, "What's time to a pig?"
.
It is Starbucks Coffee time again , and I am ready for it. It is perking now and it smells so good. I am feeling good this morning so I am going to serve, All of you sit down and relax for a few minuets it will do you good. I appreciate all of you that stop in early to see me. It makes my day. DAD.
.
We must go and see our beautiful Shelties early this morning. Yesterday I added Oreo & Misty to my Dad's Smile Album I am so proud to have them there. They are still bring a smile to my face every morning. Come on let's go. Just click Sara's Dog Training and you are there. Thanks Sara for all you do for us, DAD.

An old man was sitting on his porch, when a young man walked up with a pad and pencil in his hand."What are you selling, young man?" he asked."I'm not selling anything, sir," the young man replied. "I'm the census taker.""A what?" the man asked."A census taker. We are trying to find out how many people are in the United States.""Well," the man answered, "you're wasting your time with me; I have no idea."

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY.
.
A Wonderful Comfort for Us Who Are Older.
.
Youth so rarely understands what age allows us to know. We need to go through many life experiences before the power within is brought forward in all its glory. As long as we see ourselves as unfolding beings, there is no wish to go back one single day, and age becomes a beautiful thing.
.
Note: this above was found in the Bible of Virgie Thompson, who died this year (2009) at the age of 106.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
.
A woman got on a bus holding a baby. The bus driver said, "That's the ugliest baby I've ever seen."
In a huff, the woman slammed her fare into the fare box and took an aisle seat near the rear of the bus.
The man seated next to her sensed that she was agitated and asked her what was wrong.
"The bus driver insulted me," she fumed.
The man sympathized and said, "Why, he's a public servant and shouldn't say things to insult passengers."
You're right," She said. "I think I'll go back up there and give him a piece of my mind."
"That's a good idea," the man said. "Here, let me hold your monkey."

*****************************************
.
I must not forget that good strong Starbucks Coffee and I almost have it ready. It will be by the time that you get a good comfortable seat. Now if you have time tell me some of what is going on in your life. I always try to be a good listener. DAD.
.
You’re Drinking Too Much Coffee When:

You ski uphill.
You speed walk in your sleep.
You answer the door before people knock.
You just completed your third sweater today, and you don’t know how to knit.
You soak your dentures in coffee overnight.

God can’t be a shepherd to us unless we are sheep to Him.
.
Monday morning I forgot to get our Starbucks Coffee ready. I was busy with my cams. So this Tuesday morning I am doing that the first thing. Several of my readers reminded me during the day of what I had done. Now you just sit down and Dad will serve you. You are always welcome here. DAD.
.
I think that
DAD'S OUTDOOR WEB CAM # 2 is working, the other two will be on soon and I hope no more trouble with them.

Let me grow lovely, growing old.
So many fine things do: laces & ivory & gold and silks.
And there is healing in old trees; old streets a glamour hold.
Why may not I, as well as these, grow lovely, growing old?
************************************
.
Now I don't want to do Sara like I did the coffee, I wan't to always remember to go to her house by clicking on this Sara's Dog Training When I do this I always come away with a big smile and it makes my whole day much brighter, DAD.
.
When I saw this link mini-pig! I had no idea what to expect. And was I surprised and I think that you will be too. DAD.
.
Here is a good joke.

Ever guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, surely I can't look that old?Well, you'll love this one. A lady was sitting in the waiting room for her first appointment with a new dentist. She noticed his diploma, which had his full name. Suddenly, she remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in her high school class some 30-odd years ago. Could he be the same guy that she had a secret crush on, way back then? Upon seeing him, however, she quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been her classmate. After he examined her teeth, she asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High school. 'Yes. Yes, I did.' he gleamed with pride. 'When did you graduate?' I asked. He answered, 'In 1967. Why do you ask?' 'You were in my class!' she exclaimed. He looked at me closely. Then he asked, "What did you teach?

BUSINESS SLOGANS

...

At a Towing Company:"We don't charge an arm and a leg. We want tows."

Outside a muffler shop:"No appointment necessary, we hear you coming."

Outside a hotel:"Help! We need inn-experienced people."

On a desk in a reception room:"We shoot every third salesman, and the second one just left."

In a veterinarian's waiting room:"Be back in 5 minutes. Sit! Stay!"

God can’t be a shepherd to us unless we are sheep to Him...
.

A photo from our friend and neighbor,Ted who is visiting out west

Mt. Thiesen Or. El. 9182 Ft.

Here are some more good thoughts about sheep that some one shared with us.

"The nature of sheep is to be together; something wrong if alone. No defensive weapon except togetherness. Other animals have teeth for defense; sheep have just eight, all on the bottom for eating. Things we eat express our nature. Lambs don’t eat flesh. Only time sheep “baaaaas” is when it is looking for fellowship. Rough shearers take skin, wool, sheep never murmur. No animal suffers like a sheep and gives more, it clothes us, feeds us.".

I wish that it was daylight I would like to go over and see Sara & those two beautiful tallented Shelties. It won't be long and I know that you have to click on this Sara's Dog Training to get there. DAD.

Count That Day Lost

By George Eliot

If you sit down at set of sun

And count the acts that you have done,

And, counting, find

One self-denying deed, one word

That eased the heart of him who heard,

One glance most kind

That fell like sunshine where it went-

Then you may count that day well spent.

But if, through all the livelong day,

You've cheered no heart, by yea or nay-

If, through it all

You've nothing done that you can trace

That brought the sunshine to one face-

No act most small

That helped some soul and nothing cost-

Then count that day as worse than lost.

*****************************

A few things to help us smile--corny, but cute.

Q. Why was the elephant wearing pink tennis shoes?

A. They didn't have white ones in his size.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q. Does an elephant ever forget?

A. Only if you lend him money.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: How do you know if there is an elephant under your bed?

A: Your nose is touching the ceiling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: Why are elephants wrinkled?

A: Have you ever tried to iron one?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A fool-proof method for sculpting an elephant: first, get a huge block of marble then you chip away everything that doesn't look like an elephant..
