Payback is coming...

After moving from a house to a one bedroom apartment it appeared that I didn't need quite so much to fill the space.  I've been working diligently going through every box, book and article of clothing to get rid of things I just don't need.  While doing that I came across an old diary that I wrote in when I was really young.  If you ever want to know who I thought was cute or who liked who,  no worries, every detail was documented!   How fun would it be to read through all that again?  After opening to the front page, I noticed that I wasn't the only one who was interested in reading my locked diary...

Paybacks hurt Bjorn.  Real bad. Even worse 15 years later...

Fishing...

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.
Along comes a game warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies. (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.
"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."
"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

Capitol Tour

I was strolling the famous farmers market last Saturday morning when I decided to venture into the Capitol and check out a tour.  Totally a mad deal being that it's FREE and on the hour all week long.  Lots of history and beauty all wrapped up into a fab 45 minutes.

• Reaching over 200 feet, it's the only granite dome in the United States. 
• It's the only state capitol built on an isthmus.
• The Badger state was named after early miners in the area.
• 43 different kinds of stone from around the world line the inside of the capitol with hand carved furniture and glass mosaics.

Johnny the Baptist

Johnny's Mother looked out the window and noticed him 'playing church' with their cat. He had the cat sitting quietly and he was preaching to it.

She smiled and went about her work.

A while later she heard loud meowing and hissing and ran back to the open window to see Johnny baptizing the cat in a tub of water.

She called out, 'Johnny, stop that! The cat is afraid of water!'

Johnny looked up at her and said, "He should have thought about that before he joined my church."

Whoop there it is!

My sister just started her season ranked second overall for a combination of fitness and technical testing for the Gophers.  That'a girl!

What a weekend!

My weekend began in New Glarus for breakfast with friends from Marshalltown and then on to lunch in the Chicago area with this little lady and her wonderful mom and dad!  Seriously, how could it not be fun?!
