Could Only Happen In My Ole Home Town!

Tho I moved away from PA many years ago, I still have a lot of family & friends that reside in and around there so keeping up with local events, news etc is always of interest. Not much happens there
and folks are pretty low keyed, but I couldn't stop laughing when I read this the other day:

"Police in PA, Sask. recently pulled over a man for using a lawn chair as a driver's seat.  No word on how the front seat of his car went missing, or why he decided a lawn chair would make an adequate substitute."

Geez, would I  have loved to have seen the look on the officer's face when he saw and pulled over this car. And to listen in on the conversation that must have ensued would  have even been even more hilarious.

Lest We Forget

He so proudly fought for a country he dearly loved - my Dad during WW2. The picture has deteriorated so much over the years, but I thought I would use it anyway to make this page in his memory just in time for Remembrance Day. The prayer added was written by a Canadian soldier - the name of that soldier/author is unknown.



Thanks Dad & likewise to all those brave men & women who have fought & served to preserve our freedom.
