Another laugh: We were at lunch with our friend Hilda at Stake and Shake. She asked us if we had read a certain book, I responded that I hadn't heard of "Life as a Mushroom". She and Spud began laughing very hard. She had actually said, "Life Everlasting". Yes, I am losing my hearing! Along with all the rest of the things going wrong. Then Spud asked the waitress how many butterflies it takes to make a steak. The flip chart menu advertised a "buttery steak burger". Then we take a trip to Key West and he orders a Tye Died Shrimp and Noodle dish at the floating boat restaurant. (Thai Pd ya). Oh well, we are senior citizens. We use to laugh at the funnies our parents and grand parents did. Now we are they!

The Irene Hurricane seems to be going up the coast off of Florida and now we hear that Virginia just had an earth quake. Wonder if it is connected to the one that hit Colorado? Maybe the local news will have something about it tonight.
