How about a joke today. A drunk comes in and orders five shots of Crown Royal, “Quick!” He slams down 1, 2, 3, without stopping to take a breath. The bartender says, “Hey, slow down, that’s expensive sipping whisky.” As the drunk slams down the 4th, he says, “You’d drink fast, too, if you had what I’ve got!” “Well, what’ve you got?” The drunk slams down the 5th, “Seventy-five cents.”

I agree with the old farmer who told me one time, “The trouble with a milk cow is she won’t stay milked.”

Ole had been drinking much too often, so Mrs. Larsen suggested that Lena rent a devil’s costume and try to scare him into sobriety. Lena thought that was a fine idea and rented a devil’s suit at the costume shop. The next time Ole came home drunk, there was the Devil waiting for him at the door. “Who are you?” Ole asked. “I am the Devil,” said Lena in a disguised voice. “Vell,” said Ole, “shake hands, brother, ‘cause I married your sister.”

There isn’t much out of the ordinary happening at our household lately. One remarkable occurrence was the sunrise this morning. At first it reminded me of a live coal in a fire, then as it rose, pink and orange shades glowed all over the eastern sky. With the early spring temperatures coming now, it won’t be long before the trees in the valley will start to bud and leaf and turn beautiful, as it does every year. Many people want to share the beauty of the river, evidently, as there is more and more housing development occurring all the time on the bluffs and along the banks.

Mary got a new computer system set up and running. The prices of them has definitely dropped, but we decided to go with their set-up costs, software, and warranty which about doubled the purchase price. So much for cheap computers!
