Saturday, the 12 th the Outreach committee at Pecatonica Methodist Church will have a Taco supper that is open to the community. A free will offering will be taken for the all you can eat build you own tacos, hard and soft shell, taco salads with all the trimmings beverages, and ice cream sundaes
Last month, Carpenter's Place asked the community for help to take advantage of an amazing opportunity to purchase a 3-bedroom brick ranch for $53,437.50! HALF the market price! The purchase is through the Veterans' Administration and the use of the home is for Rockford area Veterans in need of housing.
We're THRILLED with the response! To-date, $34,996.13 has been raised! 65.5% of the purchase price! Only $18,441.87 needed to reach goal!
Donations ranging from $2.00 to $5,000 have been received; many in honor and memory of military family members. One woman sent a donation in memory of her two sons who died in the Vietnam War; another in honor of her father, grandfather and great grandfather who served America through military service. The individual notes are touching; Americans hold dear their departed military.
The house will give three Veterans a safe, secure place to call home----a place to get a fresh start and rebuild their lives here at home in the USA; here at home in Rockford, Illinois!
Will you join us? Will you help us reach our goal?
Will you give a gift in honor of a service person you hold dear?
Your donation of any size is appreciated!
Gifts may be sent to Carpenter's Place, 1149 Railroad Avenue, Rockford, IL 61104 or on line at www.carpentersplace.org.
If you have questions about this program or want to help in any other way, please call Carpenter's Place executive director, Kay Larrick at 815-964-4105, ext. 211.
Gentle Thoughts for Today--
When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the neighbor's dog run to the end of his chain and gag himself.
A penny saved is a government oversight.
The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
He who hesitates is probably right.
Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are ' XL.'
If you think there is good in everybody, you haven't met everybody.
If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.
The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.
There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. For example I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.
Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words 'The' and 'IRS' together it spells 'Theirs.'
Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
T he older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Some people try to turn back their odometers.. Not me, I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
You know you are getting old when everything either dries up, or leaks.
One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
First you forget names, then you forget faces. Then you forget to pull up your zipper. It's worse when you forget to pull it down.
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, it's called golf
Lord, Keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth...AMEN..!!
Bubbles and Barbie, two blonde sisters had promised their Uncle, who had been a seafaring gentleman all his life, to bury him at sea when he died. Of course, in due time, he did pass away and the two blondes kept their promise.
They set off from Clearwater Beach with their uncle all stitched up in a burial bag and loaded onto their rowboat. After a while Bubbles says, 'Do you think we're out far enough, Barbie?' Barbie slipped over the side and finding the water only knee deep said, 'nope, not yet Bubbles'.
So they row a little farther.... Again Bubbles asks Barbie, 'Do you think were out far enough now? Once again Barbie slips over the side and almost
immediately says, 'No, this will never do, the water is only up to my chest.
'So on they row and row and row, and finally Barbie slips over the side and disappears. Quite a bit of time goes by and poor Bubbles is really getting worried when suddenly Barbie breaks the surface, gasping for breath she says,
'OK, it's finally deep enough. Hand me the shovel.
A man came home from the office and found his new bride sobbing convulsively.
“I feel terrible,” she told him. “I was pressing your suit and I burned a big hole in the seat of your trousers.”
“Oh, just forget it,” consoled her husband.
“Remember that I’ve got an extra pair of pants for that suit.”
“Yes, I know. And it’s lucky you have!” said the woman, drying her eyes. “I was able to use a piece from them to patch the hole!”
A lot of folks can't understand how we came
to have an oil shortage here in our country.
Well, there's a very simple answer.
Nobody bothered to check the oil.
We just didn't know we were getting low.
The reason for that is purely geographical.
Our OIL is located in Alaska, California ,Coastal Florida ,Coastal Louisiana, Kansas, Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
and Texas
Our DIPSTICKS are located in Washington, DC!!!
Any Questions???
NO? Didn't think So.
Two physicians board a flight out of Seattle. One sits in the window seat, the other in the middle seat. Just before take-off, an attorney sits in the seat by the aisle. The lawyer kicks off his shoes, wiggle his toes, and starts to settle in, when the physician in the window seat says, "I think I'll get up and get a coke."
"No problem," says the attorney, "I'm by the aisle. I'll get it for you."
While he's gone, one of the physicians picks up the attorney's shoe and spits in it. When he returns with the coke, the other physician says, "That looks good, I think I'll have one too."
Again, the attorney obligingly fetches the drink. While he's gone, the other physician picks up the other shoe and spits in it.
The lawyer comes back and they all sit back and enjoy the flight. As the plane is landing, however, the attorney slips his feet into his shoes and realizes immediately what has happened.
"How long must this go on?" he asks the physicians. "This fighting between our professions? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and spitting in cokes?"
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY
