~CRACKPOT FRIENDS~


~THIS IS FROM ONE OF MY MOST TREASURED "CRACK POT" FRIENDS I HOPE IT MAKES YOU DAY AS IT DID MINE ;)

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. 'I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.' The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?' 'That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.' 'For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.' Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them. SO, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!

farewell to the fisherman!


Dylan came home with us from our 4th of July vacation & fishing trip w/ Judy & Hamp & he has fished almost everyday since then if the heat would allow it! He also went home w/ 2 turtles (sorry y'all) they were the smallest ones it could've been worse! :) He was Cocoa's personal trainer He put her thru the "ringer" most evenings. He's been a lady's man also, he went off to Lake Guntersville w/ Kathy & Jerry & a little gal from New York. Then later on He danced w/ the cutie from Belgium at Aunt Eugenia & Uncle Melvin's 50th ann. party!! Even though he said He wasn't a cowboy he went w/ Aunt Kathy to "cowboy church" & to her place down on the Lake. He's been my guinea pig on trying new dishes. He didn't like the Alabama caviar or the spinach & vegetables medley! (hehae) I did win him over on the Elvis Presley banana sandwich & the pork & beans w/ hamburger meat! I tried to enroll him here at Douglas & he said "My mom will have a fit" (hehahe) We were just picking at you! We love you D-butter & can't wait till next summer! :)
