As a young priest passed by, Bert asked who the telephone was for. The priest told him it was a direct line to Heaven, and if he'd like to call, it would be one thousand dollars. Bert was amazed, but declined the offer. Throughout Europe Bert kept seeing the same golden telephone on a marble column. At each, he asked about it and the answer was always the same: a direct line to Heaven and he could call for a thousand dollars. Bert finished his European tour in Ireland. He decided to attend Mass at a local village church. When he walked in the door he noticed the golden telephone, but underneath it there was a sign stating: DIRECT LINE TO HEAVEN, 25 cents. "Father," he said I have been all over Europe and in all the cathedrals I visited, I've seen telephones exactly like this one but The price is always $1000.00. Why is it that this one is only 25 cents?" The priest smiled and said, "Son, you're in Ireland now. It's a local call." ;O) thoroughly enjoyed. But even Ireland hasn't figured it out that it costs a red penny to talk to God. Your garden sounds wonderful. It's time like this when I wish I lived on a bigger lot. I miss my fresh greenbeans and peas and other veggies. But I do have tomatoes and squash growing. Donna in WA I presume that your having the same miserable weather that we're having, except in spades. Woke up to rain this morning. Rain predicted for tomorrow, with possibility of showers on Fri., grrr. I see that they've got rain in the midwest too, only they are some 10 degrees warmer than here. Sort of reminds of a very dry spell we once had. Being smart I brought in all sorts of mulch . I was ready but the next year it was too wet and being too wet is impossible to deal with I think. Guess we have to be flexible and lucky and ................ -- Bill S. Jersey USA zone 5 shade garden What use one more wake up call? |
