New car for me

Bought a 2024 Honda Pilot today.  I think this is just the right size car for me.

Watch out for the jarn

Sophie went to pick Paige up at the house of a friend. On the way her car started making a weird noise. When she got to the friend’s house, she found out her muffler was on the ground. The dad of Paige’s friend wired it up for her and told her she should be good to get home and to “just watch out for the jarn.” 

Sophie thanked him and got down the road a little bit before she pulled over and called Andi and Shaun to ask them what the jarn was.

Jarn…jarring -- but said with an accent. 

Christmas party

Kidnapped toaster!

My toaster was kidnapped today while I was at the doctor.  The culprit must have had a guilty conscience when I called her and told her I was really craving a warm Pop Tart, because shortly thereafter, my doorbell rang and I was greeted by this when I opened the door.

WKDQ Story on my Mother's Day gift

This was written by a friend who attends church with me.

When I started going to church at The Refuge Christian Church over a year ago, I met a lady named Perri Huddleston. At the time, I had no idea how much I would enjoy being her Facebook friend. You see, Perri is surrounded by jokesters and occasionally posts fantastic pranks they have pulled on her.

There was that time her friend Vicki hijacked her planner and made sure that she penciled in enough "Vicki time."

And it seems Perri's kids get in the game of torturing her too. For Mother's Day, Perri received a very special gift from her son and daughter-in-law. But alas, it wasn't sweet family photos that she got. Poor Perri started to notice these horrific distorted images of actor Nicolas Cage popping up on her new frame.

She told me that the images will coordinate with the gifts from her daughter - a lap blanket and sequined pillow that features Nicolas Cage. Also, she's not some uber-fan. They just like torturing her with his face.

I have to say, this is pretty genius. Hats off to Zac and Sarah for their ingenuity and to the entire family for their good-natured spirits. We could all use a little more laughter in life! I can't WAIT to see how she retaliates.
