THANK YOU*THANK YOU

FLC Council would like to thank all our helpers for making our annual Lutefisk and Meatball supper a success.

Without the members help we could never do this supper. Normally the money we raise is used to pay our benevolences for the year. We served nearly 450 people, for our best showing yet!

Again a big thank you to all the bakers, cookers, servers, clean up crews, advertising crew, Thrivent for matching funds, our church members and the community for their support, and of course our head cook Jo Krout.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

You are driving in a car at a constant speed.

On your left side is a 'drop off' - (The ground is 18-20 inches below the level you are traveling on) and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you.

In front of you is a galloping horse which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is another galloping horse.Both horses are also traveling at the same speed as you.

What must you do to safely get out of
this highly dangerous situation?  

Get off the merry-go-round.

NOV. 9 TH DEER GUNSEASON STARTS

THE DRUNKEN COWBOY LAY SPRAWLED ACROSS THREE ENTIRE SEATS IN THE POSH AMARILLO THEATER. WHEN THE USHER CAME BY AND NOTICED THIS, HE WHISPERED TO THE COWBOY,

" SORRY SIR,BUT YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED ONE SEAT." THE COWBOY DIDN'T BUDGE.

THE USHER BECAME MORE IMPATIENT. "SIR, IF YOU DON'T GET UP FROM THERE I'M GOING TO CALL THE MANAGER." ONCE AGAIN, THE COWBOY JUST GROANED.

THE USHER MARCHED BRISKLY UP THE AISLE, AND IN A MOMENT RETURNED WITH THE MANAGER. TOGETHER THE TWO OF THEN TRIED REPEATEDLY TO MOVE THE COWBOY, BUT WITH NO SUCCESS. FINALLY THEY SUMMONED THE POLICE. THE TEXAS RANGER SURVEYED THE SITUATION BRIEFLY AND THEY ASKED, "ALL RIGHT BUDDY, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?" "SAM," THE COWBOY MOANED.

"WHERE YA FROM SAM?" ASKED THE RANGER.

WITH TERRIBLE PAIN IN HIS VOICE, AND WITHOUT MOVING A MUSCLE,

SAM REPLIED,".THE BALCONY.."

I JUST REDID MY KITCHEN. I PAINTED. I WALLPAPERED. I SCRAPED AND SCRUBBED. IT'S DONE, FOR MAYBE 10 MORE YEARS. MY DÉCOR BEFORE WAS SUNFLOWERS. MY CUBBOARDS WERE BRIGHT YELLOW. MY BOYS USED TO TELL ME IT LOOKED LIKE BIG BIRD HAD EXPLODED IN THERE.

NOW THE WALLS ARE GREEN. MY CUBBOARDS AND WOODWORK IS BEIGE. I HAVE LACE ON THE SHELVES AND OLD STUFF AROUND. IT LOOKS LIKE AN OLD TIME KITCHEN EXCEPT FOR THE ELECTRIC STOVE, ELECTRIC FRIDGE, NUMEROUS OTHER APPPLIANCES AND RUNNING WATER OUT OF A NEW FAUCET THAT I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO USE THE PIPEWRENCH TO TURN IT ON.

IT'S LIKE HEAVEN.

WHEN WE MOVED INTO THE HOUSE WE MOVED THE SINK TO THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE CAUSE REMNANTS UNDER THE SINK SHOWED THE USE OF TORCHES TO THAW OUT THE WATER.

TIM, IN ALL HIS WISDOM, DECIDED TO MOVE IT FOR WHICH I THOUGHT WAS VERY SMART. I SUFFERED FROZEN WATER PIPES IN THE TRAILOR HOUSE OUT AT THE FARM. FROZEN, BROKEN PIPES WERE COMMON IN THE WINTER. JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT WE WERE IMMUNE TO THEM, THE HEAT TAPES WOULD GO OUT AND WE WOULD BE BACK UNDER THE TRAILOR HOUSE CRAWLING AROUND REPLACING THEM.

ONE TIME MY KITCHEN SINK WAS PLUGGED FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. I HAD TO CARRY THE WATER TO THE BATHROOM OR OUT THE FRONT DOOR. WE FINALLY ENDED UP RUNNING A NEW LINE. OUR TOILET WAS ONCE PLUGGED FOR A VERY LONG TIME, OF COURSE, WHEN YOU HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN AND TWO ADULTS IN THE HOUSE, ½ HALF OF AN HOUR IS A LONG TIME.

TIM FINALLY TOOK THE TOILET UP AND TURNED IT UPSIDE DOWN IN THE TUB. THERE WAS A GOLF BALL STUCK IN THERE. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHO PUT IT IN THERE FOR SURE BUT I DO HAVE MY SUSPITIONS.

I REALLY LIKE MY KITCHEN NOW AND I LOVE MY NEW FAUCET. I LOVE THE FACT THAT I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FROZEN PIPES AND GOLF BALLS IN THE TOILET. HOWEVER, I WISH I WOULD QUIT DREAMING ABOUT MILKING COWS. BUT THAT’S ANOTHER STORY FOR ANOTHER TIME.

SO THAT’S ENUF SAID, JO

      STUNNING SENIOR MOMENT:
  A very self-important college freshman attending a recent
football game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen
sitting next to him, why it was impossible for the older generation to
understand his generation.
"You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one," the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. "The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have
visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars,
computers with DSL, BPS, light-speed processing.....and," Pausing to take another drink of beer, the Senior Citizen took advantage of the break in the student's litany and said,
   "You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young. So we invented them. Now, you arrogant little brat, what are you doing for the next generation?
 The applause was resounding....
