Today we woke up very early to catch the final flight to Beijing; about
5 AM. We were waiting a while after sitting down in our seats and I
took a little nap. I think I mostly relaxed on the plane and didn?t
really do a whole lot. I ended up cracking up at some of the
entertainment on the TV. There was a funny TV show showing people doing
quirky things similar to a Charly Chaplan silent film. It was shot in
high speed like the Chaplan films and it was hilarious seeing people?s
reactions.

We got into Beijing and we had a bit of a wait
because our bus wasn?t there, so out in the parking lot me and some
other people decided to do it like the locals and we whipped out the
Majongg set that I purchased the night before. We started playing on
the concrete and were stacking them, but then the bus rolled up. We had
some touring to do before we checked into the hotel and we drove to the
Temple of Heaven. I really did not feel like touring much this morning
and I wanted to . . . Read More..

I really embarrassed myself when I called the veterinarian's office. When the receptionist answered the phone I said, "Do you have a good product for dogs to get rid of flicks and teas?" When I heard her laughing, I said "I'm sorry I meant teas and flicks." At least I gave her a good laugh along with my daughter Michele who heard me on the phone.

I was the second youngest of six children. My Dad had the most contagious laugh. He died twenty five years ago. But he had one or two funny stories he would tell about each of us kids. He had two stories about me. He waould laugh and laugh about them. They both took place when I was about three. My parents took all six of us kids to a drive-in movie in our station wagon. My dad said everyone was quietly enjoying the movie when they heard a small voice from the back seat say "Heads heads thousands of heads."
The other incident happened when I answered the front door one afternoon and a friend of my parents asked if my mother was at home, I called for her. He struck up a conversation and asked if I had a kitty. "No" I replied. "Do you have a Dog?" he asked. "No", I replied, "all we have are six sick kids!" I think we all had colds or the flu or something. It doesn't seem that funny as I type it, but it makes me chuckle to think how my dad laughed and laughed about it.

Children say the cutest things. When my daughter Christy was three, she asked me if I was sad to be all alone. I replied that I wasn't alone beacause I had her daddy and her older sister and brother and her. So I had plenty of people to be with. She said, "No Mommy, you are all alone with brown eyes."

When my daughter Christy was three, she went to the doctor with me. I was expecting her little brother. I needed to get a rhogam shot. She asked the nurse if I would fall down. The nurse and I gave each other a puzzeled looks. The nurse replied no. Then I realized why she had questioned the nurse when we picked up her older brother Jeff at school. She yelled down the hall to him. "Mom was shot today."
