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

Pat, the Potter

Introducing Pat; she's a well known and liked lady who comes to Wellness to exercise and strengthen her ankle. She was injured in an auto accident, and has had numerous surgeries in the past few years on her foot and ankle. She is progressing well in her exercise program and we are very proud of her efforts.

She has a 'potting shop' at her house, and stays busy making beautiful pottery, which she takes to show, all over.
She has traveled, and lived in other parts of the world, including Turkey.
She is a very interesting lady and we wish her the best.

This is Joe, the Patriarch of Wellness

Introducing Joe, probably one of our lst ones to start with the early birds about 3 1/2 years ago. He is such a regular, that if he is absent, which he seldom is, he gets a call from me to find out if he's ok. He has been known to get into some predicaments with his housekeeping and cooking. He does ok tho, and with his daily exercise routine, his doctor tells him that whatever he's doing; just keep it up, as his health is excellent. His usual parting words are: "Well, guess I'll go fix my hay and water", meaning his cereal and skim milk! He is quite learned about the computer and he loves the photography program. He took my 35mm pictures and digitalized them and scanned them to me, and this is one of them. Joe is an avid reader and sometimes stays up late reading. He was a pilot during WW11, and after the war, he owned his own aerial spraying service. Joe has a lifetime of experiences, and has shared many of them with his friends at the Wellness Center. He recently had his 86th birthday, and we all sang Happy Birthday to him. We are very proud of Joe and would do well to emulate him.

Education is what a man gets when he sits in a room with a group of teenagers.....

A paratrooper is a guy who climbs down trees he never climbed up.

A teacher is a person who use to think he liked children.

A husband is a man who gave up privileges he never knew he had.

May you always have Love to share, Health to spare, and Friends that care.

Heeere's Jean..............

Introducing another regular "early bird" exerciser. Jean is a joy, and we always love seeing her when she joins the other exercisers, to get in shape, lose weight and stay physically and mentally fit, which is what exercise can do for us. We're like a family group and sometimes we don't turn on the TV; we just visit and talk amongst ourselves. It's a fun time for all, and we love Jean and what she brings to our group. She is semi retired and is a nurse part time at the BMH, and Cardiac Rehab. Thanks Jean, for making our day and more importantly, making your day start and end well.

Money isn't everything, but look at how many things it is!

Running into debt isn't so bad, it's running into creditors that hurts.

They may not cure poverty, but the way they are raising taxes, they sure will cure wealth.

Money isn't everything; you get the same results with a checkbook.

Well, back to the old exercise machine..................

Introducing friends from the BMH

The Red Shirts has extended to the hospital staff also. Standing is Fay, and seated is Dawn. Irma usually wears her red shirt too, but today she had on black instead. Aren't they cute? We are so proud of them, and if you go to the hospital, they will surely take good care of you. I happen to be an employee there in the Wellness Center, where they all come to exercise. If I don't see them there, I see them when I clock in and/or out. I love to see their smiling faces and their friendliness makes my day!

A paradox is two doctors
A sadist is a doctor who keeps his stethoscope in the freezer
I don't like money, but it quiets my nerves
A penny saved is ridiculous
Money talks; all I ever hear it say is 'goodbye'
I married for money, and I'm earning every dollar of it!

I'll see ya' in the exercise room "early"!!
