HAPPY FRIDAY!
Yesterday was a lot cooler, but still on the muggy side, Today will be cooler yet and we are looking at the low 70’s for the weekend.
My weekend plans include a little ‘house blessing’ and the usual visit with my Dad Saturday evening and R&R on Sunday…maybe I’ll even have a chance to do some painting.
All is quiet here and I’m so glad it’s Friday !
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY IS…PLAY TENNIS DAY
And just why are tennis balls fuzzy? The only reason is to slow them down. It helps the players rally longer by increasing the wind resistance and keeping the ball from flying off the court in one bounce. The fuzz also increases racket control by holding the ball against the strings for just a fraction of a second longer. Smooth balls might equal faster serves, but they would make the game harder to play and less fun to watch.

A few Doctor Jokes for you today
A distraught patient phoned her doctor's office. Was it true, the woman wanted to know, that the medication the doctor had prescribed was to be taken for the rest of her life? She was told that it was.
There was a moment of silence before the woman continued, "I'm wondering, then, just how serious my condition is. This prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS!'
More and more doctors are running their practices like an assembly lines. One fella walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he had. He said, "Shingles."
So she took down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat. Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aid came out and asked him what he had. He said, "Shingles." So she took down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told him to wait in the examining room.
A half-hour later a nurse came in and asked him what he had. He said, "Shingles." So she gave him a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, told him to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.
An hour later the doctor came in and asked him what he had. He said, "Shingles." The doctor said, "Where?"
He said, "Outside in the truck. Where do you want them?"
A doctor, a nurse, and the top executive of an HMO have died and are in line together at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter speaks with them and asks them what good they have done in their lives.
The doctor says, "I have devoted my life to the sick and needy and have had a part in caring for and healing thousands of people. St. Peter replies, "That's great. Go ahead in to heaven. And what about you?"
The nurse states, "I have supported the Doctor and his patients my entire life as an adult, have taken time to explain things to patients and have helped them lead healthy lives."
"Wonderful. Please proceed in with the Doctor.
And what about you?" The HMO executive says, "I was the president of a very large Health Maintenance Organization. I was responsible for the health care of millions of people all over the country.
St. Peter says, "Oh, I see. Please go on in ... but you can only stay two nights!"
