There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints
And calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above.

Looks pretty damn good for a 68 year old and a 61 year old huh?

There was a woman who was interested in getting a boob job, so she went to her doctor, Dr. Smith and questioned him about implants. He explained that, before you do anything too serious, there is a method that has worked for a lot of my patients. Every morning when you wake up rub your boobs and say ''Scoobie doobie doobie, give me bigger boobies.'' She did this faithfully for weeks and noticed one day that they actually were getting bigger, she was very impressed.

One morning she woke up, late for work and very rushed. By the time she got on the bus she realized that she forgot to go through her routine. So standing on the bus, while rubbing her boobs she says ''Scoobie doobie doobie, give me bigger boobies''. The man standing next to her says, ''You go to Dr. Smith?'' ''Yes,'' she said, ''how did you know?'' He replies ''Hickory dickory dock!''

I was just listening to the news tonight and they were talking about the damage estimates from the ice storm we had in Dec. They said for our town the damage was over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. We lost 42 trees and had other damage here as well. We are getting the town cleaned up once again. The city crews have been picking up limbs and debris and people are starting to get their properties back in order. I know I spent all day this last Sunday mowing the yard and getting it all cleaned up. The weather has been pretty nice, a little muggy but nice. We are having some rain tonight. They say a cold front is moving through so we are also in a severe thunderstorm watch until 1:00 A.M. I don't really know any news. Been busy around here and haven't been on the computer a whole lot. I will try and get comments answered soon. I'm gonna go to bed in a bit. I gotta go to the courthouse tomorrow and pay taxes and run a few errands. Maybe I'll get around tomorrow. Hope you are all doing well!
