At age 80, her sense of humor remains firmly intact and, of course, she loves groaners!!!!!!!!! Here's a short one that should cause a resounding groooooaaaaaaaannnnnn to end the week!
Keep 'em coming, Nancy!!!!!!!

  4. That was a funny one.

    If Nancy had a blog I would read it! I'll go check her out at the Story Telling place - I'd like to see what an 80 yer old has to say. ;-)

    Hello Kay,

    Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate them.

    You have made me a year older than I really am. I will not be 80 until 2008. I was born in 1928.

    I have a story coming up soon at Ronni's Story Telling Place, so hope you will all read it.

    I love reading all the blogs and commenting, but don't think I have the talent to do my own blog on a continuing basis. I really admire those who do have the creative abilities.

    Hi Stu,
    It is a send up of the expression that people think parrots say:'"POLLY WANT A CRACKER". By the way, Stu, what is a Yurpeen?

  8. I'm sorry Nancy! God knows nine of us need to be older than we are at this point! I think someone told me you were eighty and I ran with it. Mea culpa!

    I don't think I have to talent to blog either Nancy -- just do it anyway!

    Thanks for giving Stu an explanation -- we sometimes forget that those across the pond and beyond visit us, too.

    'Yurpeen' is an allegedly redneck pronunciation of 'European". Stu is an expatriate Scot who lives in Germany and is wedded to a lovely German lady. Their website is interesting.

  9. And of course I'll read your story! It's the third thing I do each morning after I log on.

  12. Thanks, Naomi! I know all too well! I'm not as good at telling them as I used to be either!

    Thanks, Virgina! Come back each Monday and Friday and we'll be happy to give you a giggle to get through the day!

    Kay I like the groanners.

    I tell Nancy regularly to start a blog. She has so much talent and lifetime of stories to tell.
