HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 17 VOL 5
DECEMBER 17TH 2007
WEATHER; COLD, LOW HUMIDITY, 28/51 DEGREES! NO SNOW YET!
8 DAYS AND COUNTING! BETTER GET IN GEAR OR ALL THE THINGS YOUR WIFE, GIRFRIEND/BOYFRIEND KIDS HAVE ASKED FOR WILL BE GONE OFF THE SHELVES! THERE’S ALWAYS THE “99 CENT STORES!
WE GOT UP AND MADE 9:30 MASS! AFTER CHURCH WE WENT BY SHANNONS AND PICKED UP HER FOOD FOR THE BUFFET ON CHRISTMAS DAY! AS OF NOW THERE WILL BE 13 HERE INCLUDING PEGGY AND PAUL! COLLEEN AND DICK ARE GOING TO HIS FAMILIES IN SAN ANTONIO BUT THEY SHOULD BE BACK 26TH OR 27TH SO THAT’S WHEN WE’LL HAVE THEIR CHRISTMAS WITH US! I HOPE THAT’S WHEN THEY GET BACK PEGGY AND PAUL HAVE TO FLY BACK HOME ON THE 28TH!
TIM GOT HERE THIS AFTERNOON AND TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE DECK ROOF. NOW MAYBE THERE WON’T BE ANY DRIPPING ON US AND THE FURNITURE WHEN IT RAINS! WE REALLY APPRECIATE HIM COMING UP HE’S BEEN REAL BUSY IN HIS WOOD WORKING SHOP AT HOME! WHEN HE GETS FROM WORK. HE SAID HE WENT IN THE SHOP YESTERDAY AT ABOUT 5:30 PM AND GOT OUT AND IN THE HOUSE AT 11:30PM! HE REALLY LIKES TO WORK WITH WOOD. HE BOUGHT THE EQUIPMENT I HAD IN MY SHOP FROM KELLY WHO GOT IT WHEN WE SOLD THE HOME PLACE TO HIM! I REALLY MISS THE EQUIPMENT I HAD IT WASN’T HIGH DOLLAR BUT IT DID WHAT I WANTED TO DO! NOW, IF I NEED SOMETHING DONE I CAN USE MY RYOBI BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS. THEY’LL DO MOST EVERYTHING I REALLY NEED TO DO FROM REMOVING THE PAINT FROM THE CAR WHERE IT’S SHOWING THE PRIMER SO I CAN RE-PRIME IT TO CUTTING 4X4s OR RIPPING 1XsOR 2Xs. I JUST DON’T GET IN A HURRY!
WE FINALLY GOT ALL THE CHRISTMAS CARDS SIGNED SEALED AND STAMPED. YESTERDAY I THOUGHT WE ONLY HAD 2 MORE TO DO. RIGHT! WE HAD ABOUT 10 MORE TO DO AND THEN HAD TIM TAKE OUR PICTUR AND MOM PRINTED IT OUT TO GO IN EACH LETTER SO WATCH FOR IT WHEN YOU OPEN THE ENVELOPE! MOM JUST WON’T QUIT TILL SHE HAS DONE WHAT SHE WANTS TO GET DONE! I’M NOT A WHOLE LOT OF HELP AND MOST OF THE THINGS SHE DOES ONLY SHE KNOWS WHAT TO DO!
THE TREE IS STILL STANDING THERE BARE NAKED WAITING FOR US TO DRESS IT. EVERYTIME I GO NEAR IT I WANT TO PUT ALL THE DECORATIONS ON IT BUT I’M USUALLY GOING TO DO SOMETHING ELSE AND THEN I FORGET IT! OH! IT’LL GET DONE AND SOON! TOMORROW I HOPE!
TWO JEWISH TAYLORS HAD THEIR SHOPS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM EACH OTHER, ABE WOULD GET THE CUSTOMER GOING IN ONE DIRECTION AND ISADOR WOULD GET HIS FROM THOSE GOING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION! IT SEEMED TO WORK OUT TILL ISADOR PAINTED A BIG AD ON HIS FRONT WINDOW; “HAND MADE LINNEN SUITS $49.95”! NOW ABE KNEW THAT UNLESS ISADOR HAD GOTTEN A GOOD BUY ON BULK LINNEN THERE WAS NO WAY HE COULD SELL HAND MADE LINNEN SUITS FOR $49.95! HE WAS SETTING ON HIS TAYLORS BENCH WITH IS LEGS CROSSED UNDER HIM ONE NIGHT PONDERING THIS DELIMA WHEN HIS FAIRY GODMOTHER APPEARED AND TOLD HIM SHE WOULD GIVE HIM ONE WISH FOR ANYTHING IN THE WORLD! HE STARTED TO THINK WHEN SHE ADDED “BUT YOUR WORST ENEMY GETS TWICE AS MUCH”! HE THOUGHT, IF I VANT A MILLON DOLLARS ISADOR GETS 2, IF I VANT A BLOND ISADOR GETS 2, IF I VANT A CADILLAC ISADOR GETS 2! MY, MY VHAT TO ASK FOR THE FAIRY GODMOTHER SAID “HURRY UP ABE I’VE GOT OTHER STOPS TO MAKE” “I’VE GOT IT SHOUTED ABE, I VISH I VAS HALF DEAD!”
REMEMBER;
REMEMBER; HE IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
