I don't usually get upset with people doing stupid things, I've done a load of them myself, but a bunch of numptys were moving material while a table saw was running. Really bad idea. So, when the first hammer flew past my head I kind of passsionately muttered JESUS CHRIST!!! I felt bad right away, dad would have been disappointed had he heard, and mom, mom would have had a bucket of soap and a scrub pad threatening to wash my mouth out to scare me. Then... all of a sudden... HE was standing there, yeah, it was HIM. I didn't recognise HIM immediately, the blue jeans and t-shirt confused me and definately the steel toed boots threw me off. It wasn't even the wounds in HIS wrists, really, after 50 years in the construction industry, I've been pretty close to duplicating those myself. It was the calm and peace eminating from HIS being, oh yeah, and the halo, the halo kind of gave it away. I didn't know what to say... so I asked, "How's your DAD?" HE said HE'S been golfing ever since Mr. Palmer arrived. I thought God would just control the flight of the ball but Jesus says HE lets it fly where ever. If HE lands in the bushes HE just moves the bushes, HE tried burning the bush the first time but Moses showed up hoping to renegotiate the ten commandments. Then I asked if HE was there to take me, no, HE just wondered why I called. So I asked HIM, "How am I doing, why are we here, what is life all about?" HE smiled and said "That's easy, you're doing....That's when I woke up and saw the 2 x 4 laying beside my head, there was an eyebrow embedded in the end of it, looked familiar, even through the reddish haze of the blood streaming across my eyeball I'm pretty sure it was my DNA. The paramedics arrived, "Hey Jimmy, it's Tony's brother Ed again. Ed how are you feeling?" I looked up through my one good eye, " I'm good......I'm always good".
Have a great day

Dear Loved,
A completely different take on your monthly narrative, but just as welcome and clever as ever. Also very touching. Keep posting, and stay good.
Love, BJ
💌Dear Edward,
Well, aren't you clever!💡 I especially got a chuckle over your allusion to Arnold Palmer playing golf in Heaven⛳ and his divine playing partner simply moving the bushes if they got in his way🌿. And I laughed right out loud when Moses turned up on the course to renegotiate the ten commandments.🗿 How do you come up with such funny scenarios?😂
And I see you woke up just as you were going to get a pretty reliable answer to the questions that have stumped mankind since time began.🌏❓ In the end, you may have come as close as we're ever going to get to the liberating solution which suggests that... it's all good.✨🌌🌏
😎You're right, Loved, you're always good.
😍Love and laughter,
Lucy

🎂🎁🎆HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MELISSA!🎆🎁🎂
📅We hope your Saturday birthday is all about you👩 and fun for the whole family.👨👧👦👩 Alan probably has the day off and Bjorn and Sarafina don't have to go to school. So, let the party start early and run late.🎆 It's your special day!
⛳Here in Peachland, Dave is scheduled to play two rounds of golf - one this morning with friends and another this afternoon with Paul. He will certainly be ready for a warming wee dram as this day draws to a close.🍶
💑Though you'll be in our thoughts throughout the day, it will be evening before our glasses are raised in a loving toast to our son's wife, the mother of our grandchildren and our 37 year-old daughter-in-law.🍻 Relax and have a very good day. Here's to many happy, healthy returns of your May 6th birthday.🎂 Cheers!
💌Two big hugs and lots of love,

🚥Well, Thomas, this is going to be an anniversary to remember as you and Lady Macbeth🐶 continue your cross-Canada road trip to join Lorraine in Postville, Labrador.🚙
🎆And, Lorraine, though the "together" celebration will have wait, your Facebook postings🎶🎶 should provide Thom with enough music to fill the hours of travel that must be clocked before your anticipated reunion happens💑.
In the meantime, we congratulate you on ten years of married life🎎. Those years have all had their highlights🏫 but the coming year promises to be one of the most unique experiences of all🎇. We will be following your northern adventures with keen interest. May you find even greater happiness than you've already enjoyed in the first decade of your marriage💏. We'll drink to that🍻.
