For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Midweek Chuckles.
Hello everyone on this cool autumn day! I thought it would be a good time to share a few chuckles with you again from my collection of jokes. These are not my jokes but I do have permission to share them here. So, sit back, relax, and hopefully, chuckle a bit.
SIGNS THAT YOUR NEW CAR IS A LEMON (aka dud)
~ As you leave the used car lot, you see the owner rush out with a gigantic smile and high-five the salesman.
~ You notice that the car phone they threw in “for free” has a direct line to Moe’s Towing Company.
~ The booster cables are not in the trunk but are permanently soldered to the battery.~ The hood has been equipped with a push-button device for quick and easy opening.
~ The “Purchased From” sticker at the bottom of the rear license plate has been removed.
~ You get a “Good Luck” card from the previous owner.
~ As you drive up to a service station for gas, the mechanic opens the big door and waves you in.
~ When you leave for work the next morning, you notice a tow truck parked about a block from your driveway. As you go by, it silently falls in behind you.
The little “engine” warning light on the dashboard comes on and reads, “Me Again”.
====================================================
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. The next week, the man realized that he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight to Chicago. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (AND LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, “Please wake me at 5:00 AM.”
The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and that he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn’t awoken him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, “It’s 5:00 AM. Wake up.”
========================================================
An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.
The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, “Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.”
The gentleman replied, “Oh, I haven’t told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I’ve changed my will 3 times!!”
=======================================================
Well, I hope you have enjoyed today’s chuckles. Remember, it’s always a good thing to relax and laugh once in a while. It has also been proven that it’s good for your health. Enjoy your Wednesday everyone and God bless!

Midweek Coffee In The Park.
Good morning everyone on this cool autumn day! Well, I hope you brought some warm jackets with you today, this is certainly not like our warm summer coffee times. But by dressing warm it’s not so bad, I hope. Anyway, I do have lots of nice hot coffee and tea available for everyone who is willing to brave these much colder than normal temps we have been having this month. And Sheree has promised to bring some of her delicious chocolate cake along as well. Hmm, actually these colder temps started in mid August, so a whole month now of below normal temps for us here. It’s one of those years, that’s for sure.
But this nice little park that I have chosen for us this morning is quite sheltered so the wind won’t bother us at all. And it gets plenty of sunshine here as there are no large trees around to block it for us. Providing the sun peeks out for us this morning. Nice big shade trees are good on a hot summer day, but now we want that sun to help warm us a little today. This park, called Keewatin Beach Park, is right on the lake and has a nice small sandy beach which is very popular with families in the summer. I don’t think anyone would really want to try it today though.
Since we are into mid autumn here, most of our birds have now gone south. Only a few of our more hardy summer visitors are still with us. And of course our resident species which numbers only a couple dozen varieties. That will increase a little when the winter visitors arrive from the north. But that doesn’t normally happen until later in October. But it’s nice sitting here looking out across the lake. At least we do have the spectacular scenery to enjoy. Plus there are still many varieties of wildflowers in bloom.
Over here we have the pearly everlasting. This flower blooms all summer and into autumn and has a nice soft, fuzzy appearance. And over here along the edge of the park we have the small but beautiful hemp nettle.
And along this edge of the park is the creeping bellflower. It’s really a garden escape from long ago but is now well established in the wild and generally added to our list of wildflowers.
And I see one over here that most people would rather not see, a thistle. Considered more of a weed than a wildflower, but they do have pretty flowers on them nonetheless. Hey, why look at the negative part when it’s so much nicer to look at the beauty.
Ah well, it wasn’t so bad here after all, sitting at these picnic tables with the sun shining on us made it at least somewhat pleasant. And, although not much bird life we did get to see some nice wildflowers and enjoy the green space of this park before everything turns brown for another year. Thank you for joining me again today, I do hope your Wednesday is fabulous and God bless!
