TODAY IS...TOM SAWYER DAY !
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" was Mark Twain's first novel. The book was a failure when it was published in 1876, but it was a stepping stone to bigger things. He went on to write the great "Huckleberry Finn" and other stories of childhood or the Mississippi Valley. By the time he died, this failure had become an American classic and is the most popular of all his books today

TODAY'S SMILE
A 10 STEP GUIDE TO BEING HANDY AROUND THE HOUSE
1. If you can't find a screwdriver, use a knife. If you break off the tip, it's an improved screwdriver.
2. Try to work alone. An audience is rarely any help.
3. Above all, if what you've done is stupid, but it works, then it isn't stupid.
4. Work in the kitchen whenever you can ... many fine tools are there, its warm and dry, and you are close to the refrigerator.
5. If it's electronic, get a new one ... or consult a twelve-year- old.
6. Stay simple minded: Get a new battery; replace the bulb or fuse; see if the tank is empty; try turning the switch "on" ; or just paintover it.
7. Always take credit for miracles. If you dropped the alarm clock while taking it apart and it suddenly starts working, you have healed it.
8. Regardless of what people say, kicking, pounding, and throwing sometimes DOES help.
9. If something looks level, it is level.
10. If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
Young at Heart.

TODAY'S REFLECTION
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice Ephesians 4:31
Indigestion can be miserable; spiritual indigestion is even worse. Peevishness causes the heart to burn. One of the saddest aspects of slowburning anger is that it finally turns on the one who inflicts it from Daily Miscellany
TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC
