Jerry’s Jottings 5-23-2018

Wet or dry, it depends on what you are doing. The only thing we can count on is that  it will not be your usual year.

This past Sunday I was at the Dedication Ceremony for Six Native American Women at the St. Rose of Lima Cemetery, Avoca MN. The program was good and the ceremony was very interesting. Two hours went by quickly. There was a feeling of understanding and bonding.

The first round of mowing is over and already I feel it will be a long season of green grass. The thought of giving more room to flowers will grow stronger as the days go by. First, we will celebrate the the memory of those who have gone before us. This three day holiday weekend holds the promise of being warm with a slight chance of rain Sunday morning. I think I will go fishing.

A woman stood inside the front door, her arms full of coats. Four small children scurried around her.

Her husband, coming down the stairs, asked why she was standing there.

The heart specialist was operating on the patient when he suddenly said, “Don’t worry, Adam. This is a minor operation. Everything will be all right.”

The patient replied, “Thank you Doctor, but my name is Jose.”

The heart specialist said, “I know that. Adam is my name.”
