A Homeless Man's Funeral

As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Kentucky back country.
 
As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions.
 
I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.
 
I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.
 
The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man.
 
And as I played 'Amazing Grace,' the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.
 
As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."
 
Apparently I'm still lost.... it's a man thing.

Our friend Pam sent us this hilarious video. I'm all too familiar with this kind of behavior!

Bridgette sent us a funny story that all sleep-deprived moms will relate to:

I recently had my 5th baby in December. Last week my oldest daughter lost her top tooth and I had sent a picture of her to my friends asking if they had seen her missing tooth for fun. I had taken her tooth and placed it in an envelope for safe keeping and placed it in my desk. It just so happens that my sister-in-law was visiting and saw me do it.

The following week my daughter lost her other tooth. I was looking everywhere for the envelope I had put her previous one in but could not find it. Once again I took a picture of her and sent it to everyone asking if they had seen the other one.

A day later I got an e-mail from my sister-in-law (who had returned back home) telling me that one of my daughter's missing teeth had been found. You see I had put her tooth in an envelope that was from a wedding card I had filled out and given to my sister-in-law to give to this new happily married couple. Little did I know it was in that envelope!

Since my sister in law was the one who gave them this card, I was told that they had the tooth and thought it was very funny it was inside!

Don't forget that Monday is the deadline for the Pick One Spot Contest. See you then,

Friday Favorite (and Funny)

For those of us who have trouble getting up early, we found a novel solution over at the What's Best Next blog--Clocky, an alarm clock that runs away from you!

"Can’t wake up? You’re not alone. Stats show that 40% of people ‘abuse’ the snooze. Typical alarm clocks just don’t work well. Ours never lets you oversleep again. Clocky runs away and hides if you don’t get out of bed. When the alarm sounds, Clocky will wait for you to get up. But if you snooze, Clocky will jump off of your nightstand (from 3 feet), and run around your room, determined to get you up on time. Clocky’s hip, innovative and charming. What could be better to wake up next to?"

Clocky even comes in a girltalk pink (and other colors). It's a little pricey, but if it helps you (or someone you love who loves to sleep) get up early in 2011, it just might become your favorite purchase of the year.

May God's grace be yours in abundance this New Year!

We leave you this week with a woman whose age caught up with her. Have a good one! Nicole for the girltalkers

A woman was sitting in the waiting room for her first appointment with a new dentist. She noticed his DDS diploma, which bore his full name. Suddenly, she remembered that a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in her high school class so many years ago. Could this be the same guy I had a crush on way back then? she wondered.

She quickly discarded any such thought when she met the balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face. He’s way too old to have been my classmate, she thought to herself.

Still, after he examined her teeth, she asked, “Did you happen to attend Morgan Park High School?”

“Yes! I’m a Mustang,” he gleamed with pride.

“When did you graduate?” she asked.

“1959,” he replied. “Why do you ask?”

“You were in my class!” she exclaimed.

“Really?” he said, looking at her closely. “What did you teach?”

Our good friend Cindy from PA sent us this cute anecdote.

Have a super weekend,
Nicole for my mom and sisters

A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe. So she had an idea of how to handle it.

She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her. She said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.

The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew. She did this for the whole week. As the two walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week.

Finally she said to Timmy, 'Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week? Do you know her?'
Timmy nonchalantly replied, 'Yeah, I know who she is.'
The little girl said, 'Well, who is she?''
That's just Shirley Goodnest,' Timmy replied, 'and her daughter Marcy.
''Shirley Goodnest? Who is she and why is she following us?'
'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much. And in the Psalm, it says, 'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my life', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!'
