Goofy Jokes

We're still basking in the memories of the 5-year-old Whirlwind's visit yesterday. Hubby and her brother had a good visit while we girls checked out a new local boutique - the brother is a lot more animated in a one-on-one situation. In a group, he's pretty quiet.

One of the entertaining things we were all charmed with yesterday - individually - was a joke that the 5-year-old thought was hilarious (it was a bathroom joke). It was pretty funny, and after we heard it four or five times it was pretty well ingrained in all our minds.

This morning I was reminded on Facebook that Hubby's niece is putting together a 365-day desktop calendar of goofy jokes. She put out a last-minute call for jokes. And since the Whirlwind's joke was so fresh in my mind, I sent Hubby's niece a Facebook message - giving the Whirlwind credit, so hopefully it will be her name that appears on the calendar.

We had some stormy weather last night. We had a fan on as we slept, and it was raining so hard that the sound woke me up above the fan noise. The wind was blowing as well - there were a lot of little sticks and leaves blown off the trees. We had something over two inches of rain, and there was water standing in the fields as we traveled to Marshall this morning. Even though there hadn't been much rain lately, what we got last night came down to hard and fast that it couldn't soak into the ground.

We had a good shopping trip, grabbed food at a local restaurant, and were home by noon. The laundry facilities are getting more and more "iffy" as time goes on. It makes finding an opportunity to do laundry a real challenge. We noticed as we came home that the laundry room was completely empty, so I grabbed ours out of the apartment and started washing. It went smoothly - and it seemed strange to find everything empty after people being lined up most of yesterday waiting for the machines.

So, shopping's done and laundry's done. I have a haircut appointment tomorrow, but that's the only thing on the calendar. I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again (probably multiple times!) - for being retired, we sure do seem to keep busy!
