The sun is out this morning very bright in the sky. There is a little snow on the ground and it's very cold, around 20 degrees. It's suppose to get up to 40 today, 50 tomorrow and the drop back into the the low 30's for the rest of the week and then lower then that and have snow. Oh how wonderful.
Today we continue to decorate the inside of our home. My wife is decorating our foyer with the staircase. When it is finished, I'll post a photo of her work or should I say our foyer Christmas. Me, I'm beginning to decorate our big Christmas tree. The tree is mine. No one helps with the tree except
to place the top. I can't climb on a ladder so my wonderful wife has to help me with the top.
Tonight our friends Al & Meilin are coming over. AS you have noticed that one day we go over to their home and a couple days later their come to ours. It's fun having good friends like them to visit and also going out for dinner. They will be coming over for Christmas dinner this year and Meilin has told me that she will bring a ham and some Chinese dumplings. They are very tasty, I've had them before at her place.

Saturday's Funnies
A
lawyer, a doctor, a little boy and a priest were all out on a small
plane for an afternoon flight when the plane developed engine trouble.
In spite of the pilot's best efforts, the plane started to go down.
Finally, the pilot yelled out to his passengers that they'd better jump,
grabbed a parachute and bailed out.
Unfortunately, that left only three remaining parachutes. Grabbing one, the doctor said, "I am a doctor and I save lives, so I must live," and he jumped.
The lawyer then grabbed a parachute and said, "I am the smartest man in the world. I definitely deserve to live." Then he jumped.
Looking at the young boy, the priest said, "Son, I have been fortunate to have lived a long and full life. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Take the last parachute and live in peace."
Handing the parachute back to the priest, the little boy said, "Don't worry, Father. The smartest man in the world just jumped out with my backpack!"

This
guy arrives at the Pearly Gates. He has to wait to be admitted, while
St. Pete leafs through his Big Book. He's checking to see if the guy is
worthy of entry or not. Saint Peter goes through the books several
times, furrows his brow, and says to the guy, "You know, I can't see
that you did lots of good in your life but, you never did anything bad
either. Tell you what, if you can tell me of one REALLY good deed that
you did in your life, you're in." The guy thinks for a moment and says,
"Well, there was this one time when I was drivin' down the highway and I
saw a Biker Gang assaulting this poor girl. I slowed down my car to see
what was going on, and sure enough, that's what they were doing. There
were about 50 of' em torturing this chick. Infuriated, I got out my car,
grabbed a tire iron from my trunk and walked straight up to the leader
of the gang. He was a huge guy with a studded leather jacket and a chain
running from his nose to his ear. As I walked up to the leader, the
Gang formed a circle all around me. So I ripped the leader's chain off
his face and smashed him over the head with the tire iron. Then I turned
around and yelled to the rest of them,' Leave this poor, innocent girl
alone, you slime! You're all a bunch of sick, deranged animals! Go home
before I teach you all a lesson in pain!'" St. Peter, extremely
impressed, says, "Really? Wow, when did all this happen?" "Er.. about
two minutes ago."
