Wish I Had A Snooze Alarm!!

I am tired this morning...not ready to begin the day.

In the words of a fellow blogger, my brain is fried...though I don't have a picture of a bacon-wrapped Paris Hilton to spice up my post. (nor do I want one!)

The county stock show began yesterday and hubs and I worked the concession stand. It doesn't take a lot for us to feel a change of routine. Lucky him, he gets to sleep in this morning.

I have two salads to prepare for a bereavement meal at the church today...plus helping with the meal and the clean up. The bereavement committee is a vital part of our community. It is a way that a person can be of service to a family when there might not be another way.

Since this is Saturday, I probably won't post again until Monday or Tuesday. In lieu of this, I'm posting the church bulletin bloopers that I think is so funny.

More than being funny, if you're alert at church, and listen to the announcements, many times you can detect the miswordings of intended serious announcements.

I've probably got some right here in this post...ill placed words that change the meaning of a statement. It's easy to do!!

I've got to get busy so enjoy the bloopers and have a great weekend!

My mother- in-law,"'a saint" after she came down with alzheimers,She was visiting Us at our Church. The preacher got a little windy she held up her arm & looked at her watched & said real "LOUD IT'S TIME TO GO". I replied "AMEN SISTER" He ended the service real quick even forgetting altar call. This was not like My Mother -in-law ,for she loved going to church & didn't care how long they held the service
