Add a little Humor

Here is a joke I found over the summer, and since my children (and husband) have great senses of humor I thought you would like it. (See what happens when I clean my house and can actually find stuff.)

THE HELICOPTER RIDE

Morris and his wife Esther went to the state fair every year, and every year Morris would say, "Esther, I'd like to ride in that helicopter."
Esther would reply, " I know Morris, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars and fifty dollars is fifty dollars."
One year Esther and Morris went to the fair, and Morris said, "Esther, I'm 85 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, might never get another chance."
Esther replied, "Morris, that helicopter ride is fifty dollars and fifty dollars is fifty dollars."
The pilot overheard the couple and said, "Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll take both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say a word I won't charge you! But if you say oen word, it's fifty dollars."
Morris and Esther agreed and up they went.
The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard. He did his daredevil tricks over and over again, but still not a word. When they landed, the pilot turned to Morris and said, "By golly, I did everythhing I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm impressed!"
Morris replied, "Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Esther fell out, but you know fifty dollars is fifty dollars."

Thanks for Coming

I suppose everyone is home now after a fun filled weekend in Utah. It was certainly fun to have all the Turner kids and grandkids together. Sorry about the Saturday snow storm which kept everyone from traveling to Wyoming for dinner. The weather since then has been beautiful. Here are some photos that were taken with Dad's camera.
We do have the world's cutest grandkids. (And the best behaved ones, also.)

This coming Weekend

Everyone is invited up on Saturday to help Dad celebrate his ?? birthday. We are planning on having a nice dinner; turkey and all the trimmings. Cheryl, Jason, and Benjamin have promised they will be here to help Dad enjoy his early birthday. I think Jason and Nate have planned some activities, too. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate.
Let's plan on eating around 3 or so. Just let me know if you are going to make it and what time works best for you. Everyone travel safely. Love, Mom
