AMELIA ISLAND, FLORIDA:
Friday 7 September 2012
Son-in-Laws are the world’s greatest invention. One of mine (Peter) and both my daughters, Jayme and JayeDee, came up today at 4:30 to install a new microwave oven in my kitchen and a new dehumidifier in my garage. We had planned to go up to Sliders for dinner afterward, since it was only going to take thirty-minutes . . . at about eight o’clock, JayeDee, who has the patience of a gnat, (do I have to say she’s an Aries?) ordered a pizza and we decided to go to Sliders to have dinner and hear the Macy’s another day. The microwave looks great and everything works. Without Peter, I would still be heating up my cold coffee on top of the stove. I am blessed.

JOKE OF THE DAY:
Female patient:
“I have heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, dandruff, arthritis, gout, warts, diarrhea, restless leg, and many more ailments, but at least I don’t drink.”

“You should.”

TIP OF THE DAY:
Dining-room table scratches: For cherry or mahogany, use iodine. For other wood, rub with a pecan or other oily nutmeat or use peanut butter. Olive or vegetable oil also works. On dark wood, use a paste shoe polish. Buff with a soft clean cloth.
