061 Tequila Christmas Cake

I showered and shaved, I adjusted my tie. I got there and sat in a pew just in time. Bowing my head in prayer, as I closed my eyes. I saw the shoe of the man next to me..touching my own, I sighed. With plenty of room on either side.I thought, “Why must our soles […]

060 Shoes in Church

Her hair was up in a pony tail, Her favourite dress tied with a bow. Today was Daddy’s Day at school, And she couldn’t wait to go. But her mommy tried to tell her, That she probably should stay home. Why the kids might not understand, If she went to school alone. But she was […]

059 Rembrance Day – Daddy’s Poem

I try not to be biased, but I had my doubts about hiring Stevie. His placement counselor assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. But I had never had a mentally handicapped employee and wasn’t sure I wanted one. I wasn’t sure how my customers would react to Stevie. He was short, […]

058 A Trucker’s Story

The pickle jar as far back as I can remember sat on the floor beside the dresser in my parents’ bedroom. When he got ready for bed, Dad would empty his pockets and toss his coins into the jar. As a small boy, I was always fascinated at the sounds the coins made as they were […]

057 And How Is Your Pickle Jar?

Hallowe’en is quite the thing in our household.  Old Clem has a sweet tooth, so he goes door-to-door every Hallowe’en with his scary get-up on, and drags Cranky Cat along on her leash. I do play along with him with his get-up because he thinks it’s downright scary. I don’t think scary is quite the […]

056 Hallowe’en At Our House If You Dare!

A funny memory came to mind as I was sitting reminiscing about the past. I was giving thanks for the beautiful summer and knew soon it would be over and the glorious fall would start. My memory recalled a humorous Thanksgiving Day many years ago. Soon this most important date in our history will be […]

055 Thanksgiving Run In The Rain Even If You Get Wet

You’d think after all these years I could be writing how-to books instead of reading them.  They tell me these books are booming in sales. How to lose weight and keep it off in only 12 weeks and no dieting.  Sounded real easy to me. I figured I could eat what I wanted and the […]

054 Self-Help Books for Self-Help Junkies!

Have you ever been invited, or uninvited, to someone’s house and made a visit to their bathroom? Come on now, be honest. That insatiable urge to visit the bathroom does not come from the urinary tract, it comes from the snoopy tract – that protrusion in the middle of your face. And I’ll just bet […]

053 It All Happens In The Bathroom?

Now here is a little note about how your weight can be jimmied around the healthy professionals. I went for my yearly physical. The nurse starts with certain basics. How much do you weigh?” she asks. “115,” I say. The nurse puts me on the scale. It turns out my weight is 150. The nurse […]

052 False Weight Tests!

After having some kidney stones blasted it was requested that I needed a follow-up done which consisted of an Ultra Sound and an Xray.  Didn’t seem like much of a task to me.  I’ve had Xrays before and they were a cinch – no big deal. I got the call to set up the date […]

051 Make Your Bladder Gladder!

Hi folks. Wasn’t this a summer! Now we can look forward to the cooling breezes of fall, kids back to school, and the many fall fairs.  I am still a litte kid at heart.  My favourite thing is  going into the cattle barns. That smell reminds me of being on the farm.  One good whiff, […]

050 Fun With My Outlaws! – Like Not!

This on again, off again weather has been a testing ground to see if I choose to commit hara-kiri or thank the good Lord that my feet are still above ground. At this time of year, I must confess I do get somewhat antsy and Clem offered to take me out to dinner. His treat! […]

049 Do You Require An Ambulance?

Hey.  I just turned 76 on August and I’d like to share with you the most marvelous 76 birthday I had.  Yes my friends, I just turned 76 on August 7.  That’s probably why some have noted my voice is becoming a wee bit crackly.  But my mind is still sharp..hahaha I digress.  It started […]

048 Seventy-Six And Stick Kickin!

Well folks it is one heck of a summer, if that’s what one can call it.  I usually sit outside with my feet up and whatever skin I decide I can expose, to get a wee of sun, and try to get some colour on some of my parts.  I’ve been told I’m so white […]
