We are getting ready for our Third Annual Craft Show on August 13th. I truly love art and beautiful craft work. It reminds me of a time when I saw these three foreign individuals looking at a painting of Adam and Eve at the Carnegie Museum.

There was the time a friend of mine decided to include my thesaurus in a raffle without asking me first.
I was at a loss for words.
So we are getting ready for our annual craft show and raffle. This is our big Summer fundraiser. The Raffle will begin on August 13th along with our craft show and will be drawn on Labor Day. We are looking for people that would be interested in donating baskets. All of the proceeds will go to our patient care fund. If you are interested please let us know.

Not to be confused with Peter Piper or a tongue twisted wood chuck, our opening questioning is prepping you for a poll on our 98 year old vintage soda fountain! Charlie Scott and Art Passante have done a tremendous job of restoring our fountain so that our soda jerks (Bev, Tammy, Deb, Jacob, Emenet, and Sasha) can actually jerk soda fountain heads. That is how the job title of soda jerk came about, because of the jerking motion they made when using the soda fountain. For the time being we have club soda on the head to the furthest right, we will have water on the middle head (it is only designed for water and can not produce a carbonated beverage), and that leaves us with the head on the left. Do we use a cola or root beer? Root beer has the obvious joy of creating frothy floats and maybe even an option for a bottomless root beer float! On the other hand, having cola on that head opens up options for cherry colas, vanilla colas, chocolate colas, etc. While we wait for the results, you should come in and order a vanilla soda, a cherry soda, a chocolate egg cream, or whatever else using the club soda on our fountain along with whatever syrups you want us to add.

So our Fourth of July celebration is coming up and it means I need to inundate you with bad jokes related to Independence Day!
Why was the teacher cross-eyed on the last day of school?
She lost control of her pupils.
Apparently her and the students had a hard time seeing eye to eye.
We just finished celebrating Memorial Day and now we are getting ready for our anniversary event. Memorial Day was fantastic with the parade coming past our store and a level of pride could be seen in our community as everyone watched the participants. During the parade I overheard a kid’s question to his mother, “Mom, do soldiers ever go to heaven?”. “Of course they do!” protested his mother. “What makes you ask?” “There are so many soldiers with beards but I never saw any pictures of angels with beards.” he replied. The mother responded “Oh, that’s because most vets who go to Heaven get there by a close shave.”
A small boy was staring at the names on the wall of an old church when the pastor noticed him. “What are you looking at?” asked the clergyman. “All those names. Who are they?” the boy asked. The pastor nodded, and said, “They are the reason we have Memorial Day. They are those who died in the service.” The little boy considered that, then asked quietly, “The 9 o’clock service or the 11 o’clock?”

When I was growing up I had musicians, like Axl Rose, singing sweet lullabies with lyrics that included, “Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games.” Unfortunately now that I’m older, I realize that the jungle is full of cheetahs.
