Janet and Anita, newest red shirts

Introducing Janet and Anita, some of our 'newer' 'early birds'. We welcome them to our group. I haven't known them long, so don't have a lot to write about, except, I believe they both work at the school, which is a very good thing for the children. It is good to know they are in such good hands! We are happy to have them at the Wellness Center. We enjoy them very much.

I will include some "funnies". Only thing is, they are so close to the truth, that it isn't 'funny', but o well, as my husband likes to say, "I'm use to hardships".

I was a bear on Wall Street, and that's how I wound up!
Don't forget to turn your clock back. I'm turning mine back to when I was 20!
I'm getting so old that my friends in heaven will think I didn't make it!
As you get older, your secrets are safe with your friends, because they can't remember them either!
She says, "O gawd, I'm convinced my mind is almost gone". He says, "I'm not surprised - you've been giving me a piece of it every day for 20 years".
Don't let aging get you down; it's too hard to get back up............

If you need help, ask God --- if you don't, thank God!

Train Man

This is Jimmy. He is one of our more recent members, who is also Joe, our patriarch's, son. Jimmy's wife, Peggy, has urged him to join her at the Wellness Center for quite some time, and he finally did. Now he comes a lot more often than Peggy! We are quite proud of Jimmy and his weight loss.
He walks 2 miles every morning even before he comes to Wellness, where he uses all the other equipment. He is a train engineer by profession. We are very proud of Jimmy and his accomplishments, and his faithfulness in being one of our 'early birds'.

How's this for a political platform? Don't like through your teeth.....

I tried paying my taxes with a smile, but they wanted money!

If you must burn our flag - wrap yourself in it first.

The best way to get back on your feet - miss a car payment............

Don't sleep with a drip --- call your plumber. (maybe Joe the Plumber?)ha

Lord, keep your arm over my shoulder and your hand over my mouth!

Carolyn's Beauty Shop

These are the "red shirts" that were suppose to go with the introduction of these two 'beauties'! Janie is a customer that comes at about the same time as I do, and we have a good time 'cuttin' up. Carolyn performs miracles on Janie too, and Janie gets compliments from everyone, and is asked "who fixes your hair, it's beautiful?!" So Janie and I are 'walking advertisements' for Carolyn's Beauty Shop.

Carolyn's Beauty Shop

Introducing Janie, the Pshaw gal, and Carolyn, the hairdresser who is a known magician! She can make hair where there IS no hair! She can roll hair where there is NO hair! Carolyn does know hair! I go to see her every Friday morning, and when I go back the next Friday, it appears she has already done it!! She can put those "rats" in like nobody else, and the hair doesn't dare move all week! We nicknamed her the Magician! She is a beautiful gal herself and she is a faithful member of the EM (early morning) Wellness group. Sometimes she is still half asleep, and I tell her to "rise and shine", and she says, "I can rise and shine, but not at the same time"!!

The TV is on at Wellness, and if not for politics, I don't think they would have any news at all. The reason they hold elections in November, is that is the best time to pick a "turkey"! Voting is like choosing your favorite mosquito, out of a swarm! How can you tell if a politician is lying? See if his mouth is open! I don't like political jokes; too many of them get elected! Washington, DC - The DC stands for darkness and confusion. A politician has to be able to see both sides of an issue, so he can get around it! Soon there'll be nothing but honest politicians - there's nothing left to steal!

Save, you never know when your money will be valuable again!

O'Blackie

I have to introduce you to my new kitten. She is so unusual, in that she has a broad black nose and a black chin. She has a sister, but she's shy and won't let me close enough to capture her features. She has a yellow/orange stripe on her forehead and it goes down her back, reminding me of a skunk; thus her name: Peppe LePeu (O'Peppe) for short. We lost our beautiful cat that we'd had about 3 years, and loved very much, so we decided to try again, and hopefully these won't meet the same fate as our other cat. She was shot.......

New addition: O'Blackie
