Adam has a simple answer for this: “Your mother ate us out of house and home.” From the office--Ann’s Announcements Happy 4th of July!!! Birthdays

He told his assistant that he wasn't feeling well. He drove to a golf course in another city, so nobody would know him. He teed off on the first hole. A huge gust of wind caught his ball, carried is an extra hundred yards and dropped it right in the hole, for a 450 yard hole in one. An angel looked at God and said "What'd you do that for?" God smiled and said "Who's he going to tell?" From the office--Ann’s Announcements HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! Birthdays

We can never have too many prayers!!! 5) Some levity to share (because who couldn't use a good laugh these days?): A minister, a priest and a rabbi went for a hike one day. It was very hot. They were sweating and exhausted when they came upon a small lake. Since it was fairly secluded, they took off all their clothes and jumped in the water. Feeling refreshed, the trio decided to pick a few berries while enjoying their "freedom." As they were crossing an open area, who should come along but a group of ladies from town. Unable to get to their clothes in time, the minister and the priest covered their privates, and the rabbi covered his face while they ran for cover. After the ladies had left and the men got their clothes back on, the minister and the priest asked the rabbi why he covered his face rather than his privates. The rabbi replied, "I don't know about you, but in MY congregation, it’s my face they would recognize." From the office--Ann’s Announcements Birthdays
