Eleven

Eleven.

Eleven pillows. There are eleven pillows in my hotel room.

I love pillows. I like to prop them behind me while I read or work. I like to use them as a tray while I eat. But most of all I like to snuggle them when I sleep.

This hotel room has two queen beds, and each bed has two large square pillows -- what I'd call 'floor pillows', then two regular pillows and a smaller square decorative pillow. Five pillows on each bed. And one in the closet with the extra blanket.

Do I need eleven pillows? No.
Am I in pillow heaven? Oh, yeah.

Yes, I did get the one out of the closet.
No, I'm not using the decorative pillows. Yet.

So far, I have seven pillows on the bed. I don't think the other two big ones will fit, but I may try.

When else am I going to have the chance to sleep with 11 (or even 9 pillows)? There are probably about a dozen pillows on the bed at home, but I have to share some of those with Mike. These are all mine.

My favorite joke, ever

I know it has been a while, so I'll go back and do some posts to fill you in. But just to get me started, here is my favorite joke in the whole world.

The Frog's Loan

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.

"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday."

Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.

Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.

The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.

Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.

She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral."

She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"

The bank manager looks back at her and says...


(you're gonna love this)



(its a real treat)




(a masterpiece)




(wait for it)



"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

The Birth Of A Humming Bird

From an email forward, but wow!

This is truly amazing. Be sure to click on NEXT PAGE at the bottom
of each page; there are 5 pages in all. A lady found a hummingbird
nest and got pictures all the way from the egg to leaving the nest.
It took 24 days from birth to flight! Because you'll probably
never in your lifetime see this again, enjoy, and please share.
