I just looked up the word "cooperation" and this is what it said, "a joint action or undertaking," and that it was for us out at Big Spring on our Chicken Dinner on Sept 29th. Everybody knows we all have to work together as our membership is getting smaller, but we still try and it takes a lot of "cooperation." After it is all over with, yes we are "pooped," but we had so many nice complements on our chicken this year, it was worth all the aching feet and backs. "Thanks" to all you wonderful people who came and a big "thank you" to the committee who worked so hard and a special "thanks" to Jeanette.

Thoughts from Ole:
• Unless you're da lead dog - da scenery never changes.
• If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?
• Life is funny - we must be built backwards - my nose runs and my feet smell.

Don't drop the ball and you won't have to complain about the way it bounces.

A sense of humor goes a long way in overcoming the problems of everyday life.

God gives us all the ingredients for our daily bread, but he expects us to bake it.

When I was a child, we had portraits in our home of the Pope, former president John F. Kennedy, Harmon Killebrew and Tony Oliva of the Minnesota Twins. So it should be no surprise that I hold baseball players in high esteem.

It's a relief that 9/11 has come and gone with no additional terrorist attacks. But, it seems that there is still a lot to worry about--impending war with Iraq, more attacks, West Nile and other exotic viruses, the lagging economy and climate change.

It’s been raining wedding invitations lately at our house. There’d been a drought for a few years—just long enough for this guest to gain a few years in age, if not in wisdom. I’m not much on ceremony, but weddings interest me. Like many people, I’ve
