<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
<strong>Three men were hiking through a forest when they came upon a large raging, violent river. Needing to get to the other side, the first man prayed: </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>'God, please give me the strength to cross the river.'</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Poof! .. God gave him big arms and strong legs a</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>nd he was able to swim across in about 2 hours, having almost drowned twice.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>After witnessing that, the second man prayed:</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>'God, please give me strength and the tools to cross the river' </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Poof! .. God gave him a rowboat, strong arms and strong legs and he</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>was able to row across in about an hour after almost capsizing once. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Seeing what happened to the first two men, the third man prayed: </strong></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Sister</span><br />
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. <br />
So love the people who treat you right.. <br />
Love the ones who don't just because you can. <br />
Believe everything happens for a reason. <br />
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. <br />
If it changes your life, let it. <br />
Kiss slowly. <br />
Forgive quickly. <br />
God never said life would be easy. <br />
He just promised it would be worth it. <br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Sister's Day! </span><br />
<br />
I LOVE YA SISTA'!!! :-) <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Girlfriend and Sister's Week </strong></span><br />
I am only as strong as the chocolate I eat, <br />
the hair spray I use and <br />
the friends I have. <br />
To the cool women that have <br />
touched my life.. Here's to you! <br />
National Girlfriends Day <br />
What would most of us do without our sisters, confidants and shopping, lunching, and traveling girls? <br />
Let's celebrate each other for each other's sake! <br />
TO MY GIRLFRIENDS! <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>It is good be a woman.</strong></span><br />

Mae, a little old 'blue hair' about 80 years old, came along with them---all in all, a pleasant bunch. When the menus were presented, we ordered salads, sandwiches, and soups, except for Mae who said, 'Ice Cream, please. Two scoops, chocolate.'<br /><br />I wasn't sure my ears heard right, and the others were aghast.<br />'Along with heated apple pie,' Mae added, completely unabashed.<br />We tried to act quite nonchalant, as if people did this all the time..<br />But when our orders were brought out, I didn't enjoy mine.<br />I couldn't take my eyes off Mae as her pie a-la-mode went down.<br />The other ladies showed dismay. They ate their lunches silently and frowned.<br /><br />The next time I went out to eat, I called and invited Mae.<br />I lunched on white meat tuna. She ordered a parfait.<br />I smiled. She asked if she amused me.<br />I answered, 'Yes, you do, but also you confuse me.<br />How come you order rich desserts, while I feel I must be sensible?<br />She laughed and said, with wanton mirth, 'I'm tasting all that is Possible.<br /><br />I try to eat the food I need, and do the things I should.<br />But life's so short, my friend, I hate missing out on something good.<br />This year I realized how old I was.. (She grinned) I haven't been this old before.'<br />'So, before I die, I've got to try those things that for years I had ignored.<br />I haven't smelled all the flowers yet. There are too many books I haven't read. There's more fudge sundaes to wolf down and kites to be flown overhead.<br /><br />There are many malls I haven't shopped. I've not laughed at all the jokes.<br />I've missed a lot of Broadway hits and potato chips and cokes.<br />I want to wade again in water and feel ocean spray on my face.<br />I want to sit in a country church once more and thank God for His grace.<br />I want peanut butter every day spread on my morning toast.<br />I want un-timed long distance calls to the folks I love the most.<br /><br />I haven't cried at all the movies yet, or walked in the morning rain.<br />I need to feel wind in my hair. I want to fall in love again.<br />So, if I choose to have dessert, instead of having dinner,<br />then should I die before night fall, I'd say I died a winner,<br />because I missed out on nothing. I filled my heart's desire.<br />I had that final chocolate mousse before my life expired.'<br /><br />With that, I called the waitress over... 'I've changed my mind, ' I said. 'I want what she is having, only add some more whipped cream!'<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">Be mindful that happiness isn't based on possessions, power, or prestige, but on relationships with people we love and respect.

Since this is in close proximity, we will leave you to make your own carpool/travel arrangements. Lunch will be Chicken Salad served on Lettuce, Cherry Congealed Salad, Fresh Fruit, Mini Muffins, and Ice Cream Balls with Chocolate Sauce. Lunch will be served at 11:30. The cost of lunch will be $14 including tax and tip. We would like to collect lunch money as you arrive so we will not be concerned with that after we eat. A tour of the home will follow lunch at 1:00 or 1:15. Cost of the tour is $5...seniors $4. The home is not air conditioned but the dining area in the parlor has fans and good circulation. We recommend that you dress in comfortable red hat attire for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. But do not forget your Red Hat!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Parking is on the hill pass the house. Passengers can be dropped at the front of the house to avoid walking down to the house. Enter the house through the front door where there will be someone to greet you. On the map that was handed out at the last meeting, it does not show Springhill Lane NE on the map which is the street south of Springhill Ave NE (past the Lake Ave intersection). Turn left onto Springhill Lane NE not Springhill Ave. Attached is a better detailed map.
