The Memorial Committee would like to thank Emily Jackson for the gift she gave in memory of Marshall Jackson, Floy C. Jackson and R. Aubrey Jackson.

 

WORDS OF THANKS

 

Words are inadequate to express my gratitude for all the loving prayers offered on Cy’s and my behalf.  Also, thanks for the comforting cards and generous contributions to the Memorial Fund.  I am grateful to be part of such a loving church family.  I love you all.

Many thanks to all of you who sent cards and telephoned during my recent time in the hospital.  It means a lot to be remembered.

POETRY CORNER

 

Old Age

By

Jennie Lewis

 

I heard one day his footsteps soft,

A little pattery sound.

I paid no mind to him at all.

He needn’t hang around.

 

He came again one summer day,

A tapping at my door.

I turned the lock and shut him out,

“Don’t come by any more!”

 

Again he came.  Quite foolishly

I opened just a crack.

Old Age barged in.  “I’m here to stay!”

I couldn’t push him back.

 

“You may not like it, but I’m here.

I’ll call the shots, you see,

And we will get on very well.”

And Old Age smiled at me.

 

He took my life, my love, my health,

My home –just all of it.

“I am the boss,” he said to me.

I liked it not one bit.

 

I fought.  I cried.  I pouted, pled.

My will was quite denied.

It was a different kind of life

Old Age has supplied.

 

I liked it not to have to yield,

At heart, a rebel I ,

But Old Age comes to everyone,

No use to sit and cry.

 

We’ve had our wars and battles, but

He always has his way.

I know that I shall never win

For he is here to stay!

 

 

GIGGLES

 

Smith climbs to the top of Mt. Sinai to get close enough to talk to God.  Looking up he asked the Lord…”God, what does a million years mean to you?”

The Lord replies, “A minute.”

Smith asks, “And, what does a million dollars mean to you?”

The Lord replies, “A penny.”

Smith asks, “Can I have a penny?”

The Lord replies, “In a minute.”

My face in the mirror

Isn’t wrinkled or drawn.

The cobwebs are gone.

My garden looks lovely

And so does my lawn.

I think I might never

Put my glasses back on!

Where can men over the age of 60 find younger, sexy women who are interested in them?

Try a bookstore -------- under fiction

All eyes were on the radiant bride as her father escorted her down the aisle.  They reached the altar and the waiting groom; the bride kissed her father and placed something in his hand.  The guests in the front pews responded with ripples of laughter.  Even the priest smiled broadly.  As her father gave her away in marriage, the bridge gave him back his credit card.

What is the most common remark by 60+ year olds when they enter antique stores?

“Gosh, I remember these.”

Because they had no reservations at a busy restaurant, my elderly neighbor and his wife were told there would be a 45- minute wait for a table.   “Young man, we’re both 90 years old,” the husband said.  “We may not have 45 minutes.”  They were seated immediately.

*          *          *          *           *          *

I was in the express lane at the store quietly fuming.  Completely ignoring the sign, the woman ahead of me had slipped into the check-out line pushing a cart piled high with groceries.  Imagine my delight when the cashier beckoned the woman to come forward, looked into the cart and asked sweetly, “So which six items would you like to buy?

Wouldn’t it be great if that happened more often?

The reason politicians try so hard to get re-elected is that they would hate to have to make a living under the laws they’ve passed.
