Good morning crew,
It's gettin' 'bout that time. It's almost the second week in November and pretty soon we're going to be getting snow. That means one of these days soon I need to rake the leaves.
When I was a kid my dad had me out in the yard raking leaves every weekend from mid-September to the first week in December.
I'm not quite that compulsive. I feel giving the lawn one good clean-up is really all it takes to keep the house from looking like it's abandoned.
And a few leaves give the ol' homestead a rustic, kind of fall feel. I like to think of them as decorations I don't have to pay for.
Besides, any hour I don't spend with a rake in my hand is a good investment of time, as far as I'm concerned.
Laugh it up,
Joe

My sister, went to the department store to check out the bridal registry of our niece whose wedding was coming up soon. When my sister returned from the store, she tossed the gift list on a table and declared, "I think she's too young to get married."
"Why do you say that?" I asked.
"Because," she said, "they've registered for Nintendo games."
Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
After years of wondering why he didn't look like his younger sister or brother, a young man finally got up the nerve to ask his mother if he was adopted.
"Yes, you were son," his mother said as she started to cry softly. "but it didn't work out and they brought you back."
