HAPPY SATURDAY!
Today we’re off to help DS#6 celebrate his birthday. DD and hubby are picking me up and we’ll meet everyone for lunch. Then we will go back to the Newlyweds apartment for some cake and fun. I should have pictures for you to see tomorrow. I always put the pictures in my journal – Good Morning Sunshine - because it’s easier to put a lot on at a time.
TODAY IS...ELECTRIC BLANKET DAY
In 1912, S.I. Russell patented an electric heating pad for tuberculosis patients. The small square of fabric with insolated heating coils was to meant to warm the chest and help them breathe. It sold for $150 - a staggering price at the time. People immediately wanted to make larger, bed-sized pads, but it wasn't until the 1930s that the first electric blanket was made. Today, we have standards for electric blankets that regulate both heating and safety.

TODAY'S SMILE
Grandpa Gets Lost!
A police car pulls up in front of grandma's house and grandpa gets out. The polite policeman explained that this elderly gentleman said that he was lost in the park and couldn't find his way home.
Grandma looked at her husband and said, "You've been going to that park for over 30 years! How could you get lost?" Leaning close to Grandma, so that the policeman couldn't hear, Grandpa whispered, I wasn't lost. I was just too tired to walk home
ONE MORE…
The manager of a large office noticed a new man one day and told him to come into his office. "What is your name?" was the first thing the manager asked the new guy. "John," the new guy replied.
The manager scowled, "Look, I don't know what kind of a namby-pamby place you worked at before, but I don't call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my employees by their last name only - Smith, Jones, Baker - that's all. I am to be referred to only as Mr. Robertson.
Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?" The new guy sighed and said, Darling. My name is John Darling
The manager replies, Okay, John, the next thing I want to tell you is...
TODAY'S WORD
stymie • \STYE-mee\ verb
: to present an obstacle to
: stand in the way of
Golf was being played in Scotland as early as the 15th century, but it wasn't until the 19th century that the sport really caught on in England and North America. It was also in the 19th century that the word "stymie" entered English as a noun referring to a golfing situation in which one player's ball lies between another ball and the hole on the putting green, thereby blocking the line of play.
TODAY'S REFLECTION
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, 'Do you love me?' He said, 'Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.' Jesus said, Feed my sheep.
John 21:17
We can faithfully attend worship services, Bible studies and prayer meetings, but that isn't what loving God is all about. We claim to love God, but are afraid to put our love into action. God has given you gifts and talents of which you may not be aware.
TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC
To cure hiccups, try rubbing one earlobe between your thumb and forefinger
58 DAYS UNTIL SPRING
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your Heart
Psalm 37:4
I Love You All !!!
Be Blessed !!!
