Was doing some hand sewing the other day and I needed a certain color, so I went to my sewing basket and sure enough I had the right color and it was a wooden spool and the price was marked 15¢. I don’t know how old it was, but I do know a spool of thread is about ten times that now and it comes on plastic spools. I have been saving my empty spools thinking someday I might have a cute shelf made out of all my spools, but it’s just a thought now. I would have to mix the wooden and plastic and don’t know how that would look, and they all are a different size - maybe I’ll just forget it.

Chuckle
He told the boys at the coffee shop that next week is our 50th wedding anniversary. He told them that he took his wife to South America for their 25th anniversary. “Oh my that was great. What are you going to do for the 50th?”
“I’m thinking about going back down there and picking her up!”
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
After falling down a flight of stairs, a man asked his landlord why he didn’t light up his dark hallway. The landlord replied “I had a light there for three years, no one fell, so I took it away.
. . . . .
When we have to swallow our own medicine, the spoon always seems too big.
. . . . .
The only time some folks hesitate to pass the buck is during the collection.
. . . . .
There are two things some people never seem to get - all they want, and all they deserve.
. . . . .
Don’t criticize your spouses judgement - after all, look who he married.
. . . . .
When watering my hanging plants,
Despite proceeding with care,
I always end up watering
The sofa, rug and chair.
. . . . .
Have you ever noticed?
More people might live to a ripe old age, if they weren’t working so hard providing for it.
Glasses have an amazing effect on vision - especially after they have been filled several times.
A reckless driver is one who passes you on the highway in spite of all you can do.
By the time he whispers “We were made for each other,” she’s already planning alterations.
. . . . .
Remember, Top Box Stars-1948
Bing Crosby Bette Grable
Gary Cooper Bob Hope
Cary Grant Humphrey Bogart
Spencer Tracy Ingrid Bergman
Jane Powell Ann Blyth
Bud Abbott Lou Costello

“Sunburned?” Dissolve pinch of baking soda in cup of whole milk and put it on your sunburn.
