Pearly Gate Joke 2

The pope dies and is met at the new pearly gates by Saint Peter who's still a bit flustered and unsettled, and has to confess to the pope "Sir, I'm sorry, we had a rather interesting day and have not had the time to get your mansion ready, The biggest problem is that we couldn't decide the best way to thank you for all good work you did.  We thought we'd ask you what you would like to do for your eternities."

The pope says "I've always wanted to read the original scriptures in the original forms.  The scrolls, the tablets, would that be possible?"  

Saint Peter smiles and says "Of course, we just put your name on the heavenly library, let me show you the way."  Saint Peter leads the way to the library and settles the pope in with all the books and such around him, with a promise to check back in with him in a few hours, and leaves the pope to his joy.

Several hours later Saint Peter returns to library and finds the pope, with his head down on table, crying. He'd obviously been crying for quite some time as the floor around him wet with tears.  Alarmed, Saint Peter runs up to the Pope and asks, "Sir, what's wrong, what happened, what did you see?"  The Pope looks up and with a tear streaked face say "THE WORD IS CELEBRATE!"

 

I need to preserve my favorite "Pearly Gate" Jokes
37 East Los Angeleans show up at the pearly gates.  A bus had fallen off San Pedro Pier Saint Peter finds himself at a loss as what to do, so he asks them all to wait and moment and hussles off to the big throne.  "Ah, Sir, Ah, there are 37 East Los Angeleans at the gates and I'm not sure what to do with them.  The Good Lord looks down and smiles.  "Let them in, I have a special project I need their help with."  Saint Peter heads back to the gates, but he's back at the Big Throne less than a few moments later. "Sir, they're gone"  "The Los Angeleans?"  "No, Sir, the Pearly Gates"

Another joke pops up
A big mouth frog walks up to a mama giraffe and asks "Hey Mama Giraffe, what do you feed your baby" Mama giraffe looks down and politely replies "Oh, the finest youngest leaves from the top of the trees"  The big mouth frogs say "OH Really?"  and hops on his way.  He comes to Mama Hippo and asks "Hey Mama Hippo, what do you feed your baby?" Mama Hippo softly says "The soft reeds and grasses from the bottom of the river" "Oh Really"  and hops on his way. He comes to the river and sees Mama Alligator "Hey Mama Alligator, what do you feed your baby?" Mama Alligator says "Oh, big mouth frogs"
Our little frog says "Oh really"

Driving to Utah notes

Has it really been that long since I posted?
Lessons learned from a drive to Utah to see Grand Kids. #1 DO Not attempt to leave after an 8 hour day at work and expect to get there in one spell.  #2 Make reservation at Green River, or Grand Junction, especially on a holiday.  #3 Fast food is call fast food for a reason.  Eat it, even if you don't care for it.  It saves time.  #4 The new insulated cups with the straw are marvelous for long distance drive.  Easy to fill without spilling.Walk into the "gas station" Fill their very large cup full of ice.  Add Gador-aid to the top.  Go back to your cars and fill 2 glasses w/the ice, as they melt, they stay cold and you can see where you're going even with bifocals on.  #5 Go over your "take with" list 3 times so you don't forget things and have to leave family to get what you need to fulfil a promise to a grandchild. Two this time.
#6 Don't plan to do much, the next day. 

Colorado Waltz

Went to WFF w/ R several weeks ago and heard a new song. "Colorado Waltz" Decided I had to learn it on the HD. First I had to find it. Could find 2 performances, but no music or lyrics. Listened the the two youtubes and got it transcribed. Am posting it here. Want it preserved. It's lovely. Have it down on the HD, will post soon. Want to go back to WFF with my flip camera and catch the 80+ lovely woman that sings it. Want to play if with her. Maybe....

Colorado Waltz

There's a place I long to be, just a mile above the sea

Where we dance to the Colorado Waltz

You can hear the fiddles play and the pine trees softly sway

As we dance to the Colorado Waltz

You can dance to the waltz of Kentucky

or the beautiful waltz of Tennessee

But your hearts will be light while you're dancing tonight

To the strains of the Colorado Waltz

Where the mountains touch the sky and the lazy clouds roll by

As we dance to the Colorado Waltz

then you'll never want to roam from your Colorado home

Or the memories of the Colorado Waltz

From the Rocky Mountains high to the eastern plains so wide

With rivers sweet and clear and flow with gold.

Hear the Continental heights and the Sand dunes desert nights

Sing the Colorado Waltz to young and old

Why go dance to the waltz of Kentucky

You have the sweet waltz of Tennessee

When it’s time to sing the praise of the mountains and the plains

For me it’s the Colorado Waltz

Colorado

Gonna get interesting

R was made 2nd councelor in the Hidden Lake Ward Bishopric. The new Bishop is 6'6", the 1st councelor is 6'5 and R is 6'3" he's the short one. That ain't right. But the rest ALL is. Good group and lots of changes to come. We've known since Wednesday, but couldn't say a word to anyone, that's not easy. I'll be doing the single gig again, but this time I don't have 5 little kids like I did years ago. Maybe I'll get more practice time on the HD. Still can't find a job I want, and that really is the crux. Several jobs I could apply for, they are just not jobs I want. Weird hours, OTHER side of town, and are you kidding? you want to pay WHAT? At least unemployement benefits still have some time to go. Going to the temple Friday and have a yard sale Saturday. Went to the cannery today and we did over 8000 cans of tomato soup bout half of what they wanted to do, but that was only the morning shift. Gotta get R's nose fixed, his snoring is not letting me sleep and I'm exhausted. I'm drugging up tonight.
