Sunday Joke!

We are off to ND with the truck tomorrow.  Wish us luck!!!!


GOD LOVES DRUNKS TOO ! 

A man and his wife were awakened at 3:00 am
 
by a loud pounding on the door. 
The man gets up and goes to the door 
where a drunken stranger, 
standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.

"Not a chance," says the husband,
 
"it is 3:00 in the morning!"

He slams the door and returns to bed.

"Who was that?" asked his wife.
"Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answers.

"Did you help him?" she asks.
 
"No, I did not, it is 3:00 in the morning 
and it is pouring rain out there!" 
"Well, you have a short memory," says his wife. 
"Can't you remember about three months ago 
when we broke down, and those two guys helped us?  
I think you should help him, 
and you should be ashamed of yourself! 
God loves drunk people too.

The man does as he is told, gets dressed,
 
and goes out into the pounding rain. 

He calls out into the dark,
 
"Hello, are you still there?"
"Yes," comes back the answer.
 

"Do you still need a push?"
 
calls out the husband.
"Yes, please!" 
comes the reply from the dark. 

"Where are you?" asks the husband.
 

"Over here on the swing set,"
 
replied the drunk.

Family Visit.

We had a mini Waldschmidt family reunion shortly after the winter crew left.
I discovered that we did not take any pictures of all of us! Duh.... We had a great time tho.
It started out with Dave & I going to Heart Ranch to see Leon/Doris and Haley & the kids Conner & Carlie.  We rode into Rapid to have Pizza Hut for dinner.  Then on to Mount Rushmore for the evening light show. Conner wanted to do the hike around Mnt. Rushmore so we did.  We saw a mountain goat & her baby.  The show was very patriotic and moving.


               
                                                 Awwwww.........




                                                     Here we are!


                                                  The kids!

THE PASTOR'S CAT

This story made me laugh. Every time I think about it, the vision of that poor cat just amuses me to no end.
Whoever said the Creator doesn't have a sense of humor?

Dwight Nelson recently told a true story about the pastor of his church.
He had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard and
then was afraid to come down. The pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, etc.

The kitty would not come down. The tree was not sturdy enough to
climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and
pulled it until the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten.

That's what he did, all the while checking his progress in the car. He
then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be
bent sufficiently for him to reach the kitten. But as he moved the car
a little further forward, the rope broke!

The tree went 'boing!' and the kitten instantly sailed through the air - out of sight.

The pastor felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking
people if they'd seen a little kitten. No... nobody had seen a stray
kitten. So he prayed, 'Lord, I just commit this kitten to your > keeping,'
and went on about his business.

A few days later he was at the grocery store, and met one of his
church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was
amazed to see cat food. This woman was a cat hater and everyone knew
it, so he asked her, 'Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats
so much?'
She replied, 'You won't believe this,' and then told him how
her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing.
Then a few days before, the child had begged again, so the Mom finally
told her little girl, 'Well, if God gives you a cat, I'll let you keep
it.' She told the pastor, 'I watched my child go out in the yard, get
on her knees, and ask God for a cat. And really, Pastor, you won't
believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came
flying out of the blue sky, with its paws outspread, and landed right in front of her.'

Never underestimate the Power of God and His unique sense of humor.

Anyone can count the seeds in an apple; but only God can count the
apples in a seed .

GIVE ME A SENSE OF HUMOR, LORD

GIVE ME THE GRACE TO SEE A JOKE

TO GET SOME HUMOR OUT OF LIFE

AND PASS IT ON TO OTHER FOLKS

AMEN !

Sunday joke.






Ole lived across the Minnesota river from Clarence, whom he didn't like at all.

They were yelling across the river at each other all the time.

Ole would yell at Clarence, "If I had a vay to cross dis river, I'd come ofer dere an beat 
you up good, yeah sure, ya betcha, by golly!"

Clarence would yell back, "Ya don't scare me, ya old turd. I cud beatcha wit one hand 
behind me back, fer sure!"

This went on for years.

Finally, the state built a bridge across the river right there by their houses.

Ole's wife, Lena, says, "Now iss yer chance, Ole. Vhy doncha go over dere and beat up 
dat Clarence like you said you vud?"

Ole replied, "OK, by yimmy, I tink I vill do yust dat!"

Ole started for the bridge, but he saw a sign on the bridge and stopped to read it, then 
turned around and came back home.

Lena asked, "Vhy did you come back?" 

Ole said, " Lena, I tink I changed my mind 'bout beatin' up dat Clarence. You know, vhen 
I yell at him from across da river, he don't look so big. But dey put a sign on da bridge 
dat says "Clarence is 13 feet, 6 inches.

Big Kill

While visiting my son and daughter-in-law last night, I asked if I could
borrow a newspaper.

'This is the 21st century, Dad,' he said.  'We don't waste money on
newspapers.  Here, you can borrow my i-Pad.'

I can tell you, that pesky fly never knew what hit him ...
Dave is taking Luc to the Emerg. Vet in Rapid.  Little shithead has something stuck again.

We think Sarah is in the oven!

We called Charm Labs this week to find that Bear has come into heat early and has already been bred.




Here is Mom, Bear.

  

Here is Dad Titan.  His head is bigger but he looks a lot like Mr. Mac.
