A Senior Citizen and His Corvette

A “Quality Time” joke and more……

A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. "Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-94, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this," and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival. Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch, and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."
The old gentleman paused. Then he said, "Years ago, my wife
ran off with a State trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."

"Have a good day, sir," replied the trooper.

    “Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we loose in our self-indulgence, what glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb, what blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.”

Have a great day and always take the path less taken. (Photos from Cades Cove)

She Failed The Test

Take the Quality time Dementia test below and see how you do……



Your Yearly
Dementia Test (only 4 questions this year) Yep, it's that
time of year again for us to take our annual senior citizen
test. Exercise of the
brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's
important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you lose
it! Here is a very
private way to gauge how your memory compares to your last test. Some may think it
is too easy, but the ones with memory problems may have
difficulty. Take this test to
determine if you're losing it or not. The spaces below
are so you don't see the answers until you've made your answer. OK, relax, clear
your mind and begin. #1. What do you
put in a toaster ?




            Answer: 'bread.'
If you said 'toast', just give up now and go do something else. And, try not to
hurt yourself. If you said,
bread, go to Question #2.

# 2. Say 'silk'
five times. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink ?



                Answer: Cows
drink water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next
question. Your brain is
already over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with
reading more appropriate literature such as Women's Weekly or Auto World. However, if you
did say 'water', proceed to Question #3.

  # 3. If a red
house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and
a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black
bricks, what is a green house made from ?



              Answer:
Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said
'green bricks', why are you still reading this ??? PLEASE, go lie
down!!! But, if you said
'glass,' go on to Question #4.

    # 4. Do not use a
calculator for this: You are driving a
bus from New York City to Philadelphia. In Staten Island,
17 people got on the bus. In New Brunswick,
6 people get off the bus and 9 people get on. In Windsor, 2
people get off and 4 get on. In Trenton, 11
people get off and 16 people get on. In Bristol, 3
people get off and 5 people get on. And, in Camden, 6
people get off and 3 get on. You then arrive
at Philadelphia Station. Without going
back to review, how old is the bus driver ?





        Answer: Oh, for crying out loud ! Don't you
remember your own age?!?! It was YOU driving the bus! Please Go Quietly…Thank You…… Can anyone guess where the photos are from????
Have a great day…..,

 THOUGHTS ON GETTING OLDER AT MY QUALITY TIME & maybe a Sky Watch Friday post…. Be Your Own Best Friend

ONE LAST THOUGHT:: Friends bail you out of jail, Best Friends are in the cell next to you saying, "That was sooo much fun, lets do it again!"

Poor Man & His Wife

 MORAL: To love is nothing, to be loved is something...!!!

.....A very poor man lived with his wife.

One day, his wife, who had very long hair asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well-groomed. The man felt very sorry and said no. He explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken. She did not insist on her request.

The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife.

He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give to his wife.

He was surprised when he saw his wife with a very short hair cut.

She had sold her hair

and was holding a new watch band.

Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes,

not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.

MORAL: To love is nothing, to be loved is something...!!!

  Hope you enjoyed the story, but there is More….. Take a real good look at the first picture..Did you notice::::

“The real beauty in this picture is the attention to detail that the artist, Octavio Ocampo took. Try this: squint your eyes a little and you’ll see that the man with the guitar fades away, and the old man staring into the old woman’s eyes really starts to pop out at you. Perhaps the scariest part of this illusion is that the younger woman has some really mean sideburns! Look out! Also, keep looking until you find: the young girl, the tequila bottle, and the giant vase! Quite a crazy optical illusion painting!” ( when I first saw the photo it was just of an old man and woman looking at each other.)

Memo to self:: Friday… played 18 holes golf at Westchester… did ok…
