Looks as if Jim needs a little backup in his effort to keep our website active. I'm sure the summer weather is keeping everyone busy. A little humor may help. The photo below may be an example of what keeps people our age busy.

Jim, if it's as hot at your house as it is in Illinois, I bet you will miss those trees for some shade.  What a cute puppy you are getting.  I hope you post more pictures.

For about the last month, I haven't been getting notified when someone post something.  Or birthdays.  Liz Spillman Alex's birthday is today and nothing has been posted, either for the seven days, or today.  She is unable to post so she gave me permission to post for her.   Happy Birthday, Sis and many more..

MUFFIN arrives home in 3 days.... 

then begins the sleepless nights.... 

We're too old to be having babies !

SANDY .... no shade on pool at least is saving money because the heater isn't running as much as previously .... pool is 82 without the furnace running!

BOO .... Muffin (she) is a ShihTzu ... and is promised to be the "Queen" of the domain once she matures a bit!

ANOTHER FRUSTRATING thing to deal with is that after 2 months since the neighbors tree fell on our pool and destroyed the fence.... NO RESOLUTION from ALLSTATE to agree to get it replaced.  The pool area is like a war zone for the summer !

Marvin, Liz said she did receive a notice today that someone had posted on the website.  I still haven't received a notice when someone posts something.   I checked my "notify me" settings and it is still marked so I should be getting notified.

Also, Marvin, have you seen the boats that look like cars?  I thought maybe you have in Florida.  I thought of you when I saw pictures of them on Facebook.  

Also, loved the text codes for seniors.  I'm in the minority of people that don't text, but I still found humor in them.

Jim, maybe your pool is staying cleaner with no leaves from the trees, too?   What a cute puppy.  I don't think I'm up to training a new puppy.  But there are two of you so that will help.  Muffin is sure adorable.

For all you golfers in the class:

Having been a looper, there's a lot of truth in this:

 

The ten best caddy responses

 

Number :10

Golfer:    "I think I'm going to drown myself in the lake."

 

Caddy:    "Think you can keep your head down that long?"

 

Number : 9

Golfer:    "I'd move heaven and earth to break 100 on this course."

 

Caddy:    "Try heaven, you've already moved most of the earth."

 

Number : 8

Golfer:    "Do you think my game is improving?"

 

Caddy:    "Yes . . . You miss the ball much closer now."

 

Number : 7

Golfer:    "Do you think I can get there with a 5 iron?"

 

Caddy:    "Eventually."

 

Number : 6

Golfer:    "You've got to be the worst caddy in the world."

 

Caddy:    "I don't think so . . .That would be too much of a coincidence."

 

Number : 5

Golfer:    "Please stop checking your watch all the time. It's too much of a distraction."

 

Caddy:    "It's not a watch - it's a compass."

 

Number : 4

Golfer:    "How do you like my game?"

 

Caddy:    "It's very good - but personally, I prefer golf."

 

Number : 3

Golfer:    "Do you think it's a sin to play on Sunday?

 

Caddy:    "The way you play, it's a sin on any day."

 

Number : 2

Golfer:    "This is the worst course I've ever played on."

 

Caddy:    "This isn't the golf course. We left that an hour ago."

 

And the Number : 1

Golfer:    "That can't be my ball, it's too old."

 

Caddy:    "It's been a long time since we teed off, sir."

This is our oldest grandchild, Chase, with his mother, our daughter Krista.  Chase is 21 today and will be a junior at Western Illinois University in the fall.  He is studying to become a fireman and EMT.  I love this picture of the two of them, so I thought I'd share it today.

SUE....  Nice looking family !  Grandson to be proud of !

 

OUR Puppy "MUFFIN" came home today !  Now begin 

the sleepless nights at least not due to aches and pains !

Sandra Jeakins (Singletary Sizemore)

Sue, I saw this on Facebook and is a good picture of your Grandson.  Thanks for sharing with the class, who may not be on Facebook.

Jim, Muffin will have you and Carol trained in no time!

Melvin (Mel) Theobald

Sue, I love the photo of your daughter and grandson. They are beautiful. Thanks for sharing. We should all be so lucky to be surrouned by such love.

James (Jim) Rookus

Yes Sandy .... I'm already beginning to believe that !!!! SHE is training US already !!!


06/28/25 12:41 PM #11730    

 

James (Jim) Rookus

FYI ... a few days ago Sandy mentioned that she has not been receiving notifications of new postings .... now I realize I haven't also !  The last email I received notifying me of a new post was June 11 ... prior to that I would get an email every time a new posting showed up ... wonder if a glitch in the program ????

Jim & others--I don't live on the computer, but I don't miss a lot of days without something coming across. I know service here is spotty, and cell service is crazy, but I have been getting regular e-mails and posts from the Raider site.  Hope your service picks up.

Why do Easter Eggs hide? 

 

Because they're a little chicken!  🐣

El Paso just had a heavy rain that lasted 15 minutes.  We need the rain, of course!   We live in a desert!

I still don't like to get wet!  I still don't like for my shoes to get wet!   That's why I live here.

Linda, I also live in the desert and yesterday we had a hail storm  that blanketed the ground.  Only the second time in thirty years.
