My nephew's boys - Forest and London


Well here we are in beautiful downtown Portland.  Just joking, we are actually at my Brother's and Barb's home.  We got here by 10:30 this morning.  The roads were pretty icy to Biggs Junction, but after that it wasn't bad.  We made it here in 4 hrs. so that's not bad at all.  Mick's son and family ( Holland, Rosa, Forest 9 and London 7 ) came from Cal. and it took them 13 hrs.  The worst part was when they got within an hr. of here and, because of the traffic, it took another 2 hrs.  Very frustrating for them But they arrived safely so that's what really counts.  Forest was named after Mick's and my dad.  We went to the IKEA store and if you have never been to one of these stores you have missed out on a lot of fun, but plan to stay at least 3 hrs.  It is amazing!!! 
Now, everyone, have a wonderful, safe Thanksgiving.  It's the best Holiday of the year.


BOOKSMART
Scene:  A bookstore
Customer:  Can you help me find a book?
Me:  Of course.  Do you know the author or title?
Customer:  Well, I was at the beach and I saw this girl reading a purple book.  She looked like she was really enjoying it.  I want that book.
Me:  Ma'am, you're going to have to be more specific.  There are a lot of books with purple covers.
Customer:  Can't you search on your computer for purple books?
Me:  Unfortunately, no.
Customer:  In that case, I'll take my business to a bookstore that has better computers.



THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
If you follow your dreams, the money will come.  Follow the money and you will lose your dreams.
