Ol’ Fred had been a faithful Christian and was in the hospital, near death. The family called their preacher to stand with them. As the preacher stood next to the bed, Ol’ Fred’s condition appeared to deteriorate, and he motioned frantically for something to write on. The pastor lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of paper, and Ol’ Fred used his last bit of energy to scribble a note, then suddenly died.
The preacher thought it best not to look at the note at that time, so he placed it in his jacket pocket. At the funeral, as he was finishing the message, he realized that he was wearing the same jacket that he was wearing when Ol’ Fred died.
He said , “You know, Ol’ Fred handed me a note just before he died. I haven’t looked at it, but knowing, Fred I’m sure there’s a word of inspiration there for us all.”
He opened the note, and read, “Please step to your left - you’re standing on my oxygen tube!”
Mom and DD went to the Cracked Barrel with Tracey and I for supper. We got to train another new waitress but we all pretty much agreed she was too lazy to ever be any good. She is one of those people who pretends to be blind when you wave ... as if anyone could miss seeing several people waving from only 20 feet away.
A&B spent the night at a friend’s house playing Pokeman card games. I am surprised they are still interested in these things. I know they weren’t interested in them for years and then just recently the game seems to have made a come-back.

Pokeman...wow....haven’t heard that word in years!! Andy had 3 ring binders filled with those cards! We had the little character toys here too.

It seems they have all new cards now and most of the old ones don’t “work” anymore. Couldn’t prove any of it by me but I guess Pokemon is better than Poker?
