Life already has enough pressures. There is no need to add more by pressuring yourself. Relax and let your efforts flow. That is how you can be your very best.

This little guy is almost ready to fly from his nest on our front porch. He’s a Phoebe.

After I finished the MANA News draft (whew!!) I took a little walk to photo the new wildflowers. I don’t remember seeing the bloom of the Sensitive Brier (above) before. Richard had shown me how the leaves of the plant (below left) will close up when you touch them (below right). Hence the name I guess!

A small, local gas station just can’t keep up with the high prices.
Their poor old pump can just do $2.99/gallon gas, hence the sign.

Jessica took all three of my grandkids to the Wal-Mart photography store on May 1 and got some great photos of my fine group of grandkids!

Sheldon’s getting to where he smiles so big!

They all cooperated quite well!

Killing Jack Bauer doesn’t make him dead. It just makes him angry.

If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and he had a gun with 2 bullets, he’d shoot Nina twice.

If you wake up in the morning, it’s because Jack Bauer spared your life.

Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas.

Richard and I went fishing today and had a grand time.
There weren’t even that many people, maybe because it’s
been raining a lot this week. Richard caught three and then “sport fished”
while I struggled. I didn’t catch my first fish until about 1:30,
but then I caught my four while Richard caught his last
(limit of four) fish by three o’clock. Then we came home to a wonderful
dinner of fresh fish! Richard knows how to maximize the
size of the fish in the photo, “hold them out in front of you Tina!”

Two hillbillies Ed and Red walk into a bar. While having a shot of whiskey, they talk about their moonshine operation.

Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough.

After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress.

One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, “Kin ya swallar?”

The woman shakes her head no.

“Kin ya breathe?”

The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.

The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up the back of her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue. The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth.

As she begins to breathe again, the hillbilly walks slowly back to the bar. His partner says, “Ya know, I’d heerd of that there ‘Hind Lick Maneuver’, but I ain’t never seen nobody do it!”
