On being serious...

Not serious in 1954...

Another year, another birthday...

After I turned 30, I had my first baby and thought: "This is it, time to grow up and get serious."

It didn't happen. Then I turned 40.

Nope.

50 came soon enough and it still didn't happen.

Now I'm one year shy of my 60th and I'm beginning to suspect that I'll never be a real grown-up or get serious.

Just older...

Miracle

Mrsgunka has an endless supply of lovely short jokes (lucky us!).

A religious farmer lost his Bible out in the field.

A few days later he went to answer a noise at his door. Standing there was a cow, with his Bible in its mouth!

The farmer raised his eyes to heaven and thanked the Lord for this miracle.

"Not really," said the cow. "Your name was written inside."

Thank you, Mrsgunka.

This is a good cartoon to accompany this joke:

La Vezere

It's a glorious day here (for a change) and we went for a walk by the river after lunch. It's nice and cool, with the lovely relaxing noise of the water going through the rocks. Here's the Vezere, where they do the kayaking competitions during the summer:











And here is a little bit with sound:

Short and sweet

Today's laugh comes courtesy of our Mrsgunka.


Two blondes were sipping their Starbucks when a truck went past loaded up with rolls of sod.


"I'm going to do that when I win the lottery," announced the first blonde.


"Do what?" asked her friend.


"Send my lawn out to be mowed."


Thank you, Mrsgunka.
