What do I hear? It�s rain and how wonderful it sounds. We were all praying for rain and I hope we all thank the good Lord as he answers our prayer. I suppose the first complaint will be those who are going to the state fair. That�s one place I won�t or don�t go, just too much walking for an old gal like me. I was there once but it was many years ago. Today (Sat.) I just don�t have much to write, I�m just sitting by my desk, next to the window, listening to the rain come down, it�s music to my ears.

Two dogs met on the street one day and started talking. "I�m a mess," said one. "I think I�m headed for a nervous break-down."

"Why don�t you see a psychiatrist?" asked the other dog.

"I can�t," the first complained. "I�m not allowed on the couch."

When the new preacher moved to town, one of the first people he met said, "I certainly hope you�re not one of those narrow-minded ministers who thinks only the members of his congregation are going to Heaven."

"I�m even more narrow-minded than that," the preacher replied. "I�m pretty sure some of the members of my congre-gation aren�t going to make it, either."

The mule may be the world�s most frustrated animal, but one thing is sure�he�s not the dumbest.

A lot more people would
try to do right�
if they thought it was wrong.

He who is good for making excuses is seldom good for any-thing else.

Remember, a prune is a plum that worried too much and got wrinkles.

These times right now are stranger by far
Than any that our ancestors knew;
Miss a day�s work and the
government
Loses as much as you do

Needed a Proofreader
