On to Winter...

Oh my. I've been so bad at updating this blog! My apologies. It's kind of hard keeping up-to-date with my Facebook page, Twitter (vtknitboy), emails, my etsy site, and the blog! Twitter has been fabulous--I've made dozens of contacts and friends. Many have purchased my handspun yarn, so my focus has been to keep posting new yarns, pics, etc., there. Sales on Etsy have been slow, but I've sold many more skeins just listing on my Facebook page!

Little Annabelle-nippy-diva, my REW (red eyed white) German Angora, grows about an inch a day! Here's her updated pic. Check out my last post for the July pic.

Sorry this is short, but I just wanted to update the blog. I hope to become a bit more consistent on doing more posts. I've been asked by friends on twitter to post recipes, so that may become a standard.

Hope you all had a safe and joyous Thanksgiving!

Ciao,

Joke - Being Honest

Taking his seat in his chambers, the judge faced the opposing lawyers.

"So," he said, "I have been presented, by both of you, with a bribe."

Both lawyers squirmed uncomfortably.

"You , Attorney Smith; gave me $15,000. And you, Attorney Paul, gave me $10,000."

The judge reached into his pocket & pulled out a check. He handed it to Smith....

"Now then, I'm returning $5,000 & we're going to decide this case solely on its merits."

Joke - The Flying Turtle

Deep within a forest, a little turtle began to climb a tree.

After hours of effort, he reached the top, jumped into the air waving his front legs and crashed to the ground.

After recovering, he slowly climbed the tree again, jumped, and fell to the ground.

The turtle tried again and again, while a couple of birds sitting on a branch watched his sad efforts.

Finally, the female bird turned to her mate, "Dear," she chirped, "I think it's time to tell him he's adopted."

Joke - Eats Shoots & Leaves

A panda walks into a bar, sits down and orders a sandwich. He eats, pulls out a gun and shoots the waiter dead. As the panda stands up to go, the bartender shouts, "Hey! Where are you going? You just shot my waiter and you didn't pay for the food."

The panda yells back, "Hey, man, I'm a panda. Look it up!"

The bartender opens his dictionary and reads - Panda: "A tree-climbing mammal of Asian origin, characterized by distinct black and white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves."

Joke - In Plain English

The man told his doctor that he wasn't able to do all the things around the house that he used to do. When the examination was complete, he said,' Now, Doc, I can take it. Tell me in plain English what is wrong with me.'

'Well, in plain English,' the doctor replied,' you're just lazy.'

'Okay,' said the man.' Now give me the medical term so I can tell my wife.'

Joke - Headed Which Way?

A priest was preparing a dying man for his last journey. Whispering firmly, the priest said, "Denounce the devil! 

The dying man said nothing.

The priest repeated his order. Still the dying man said nothing. The priest asked, "Why do you refuse to denounce the devil ?"

Joke - Where's Dad

A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagonload of corn. The farmer who lived nearby heard the noise and yelled over to the boy, `Hey Willis, forget your troubles. Come in and visit with us. I`ll help you get the wagon up later.`

`That`s mighty nice of you,` Willis answered, `but I don`t think Dad would like me to.`

`Aw come on boy,` the farmer insisted.

`Well okay,` the boy finally agreed, and added, `but Dad won`t like it.`

After a hearty dinner, Willis thanked his host. `I feel a lot better now, but I know Dad is going to be real upset.`

`Don`t be foolish!` the neighbor said with a smile. `By the way, where is he?`

`Under the wagon.`

Joke - Art Of Smuggling

Juan comes up to the Mexican border on his bicycle. He`s got two large bags over his shoulders. The guard stops him and says, `What`s in the bags?`

`Sand,` answered Juan.

The guard says, `We`ll just see about that. Get off the bike.` The guard detains Juan overnight and has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags. He releases Juan and lets him cross the border.

A week later, the same thing happens. The guard asks, `What`s in the bags?`

`Sand,` says Juan.

The guard does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to Juan, and Juan crosses the border on his bicycle.

This sequence of events is repeated every day for three years. Finally, Juan doesn`t show up one day and the guard meets him in a Cantina in Mexico.

`Hey, Buddy,` says the guard, `I know you are smuggling something. It`s driving me crazy. It`s all I think about...Just between you and me, what are you smuggling?`

Juan sips his beer and says, "Bicycles"

Joke - Taking No Chance

A busload of politicians were driving down a country road, when suddenly the bus ran off the road and crashed into an old farmer`s barn. 

The old farmer got off his tractor and went to investigate. Soon he dug a hole and buried the politicians. A few days later, the local sheriff came out, saw the crashed bus and asked the old farmer where all the politicians had gone. 

The old farmer told him he had buried them. 

The sheriff asked the old farmer, `Lordy, were they ALL dead?` 

The old farmer said, `Well, some of them said they weren`t, but you know how them crooked politicians lie.`

Joke - Afterlife!

"Do you believe in life after death?" the boss asked one of his employees."Yes, sir," the clerk replied.

"That's good," the boss said. "After you left early yesterday to go to your grandmother's funeral, she stopped in to see you."
