RAMBLINGS OF A RETIRED MIND
AUTHOR UNKNOWN (IT WASN’T ME!)
I WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW MUCH OF A STATUS SYMBOL THOSE CELL PHONES THAT EVERYONE HAS CLIPPED ONTO THEIR BELT OR PURSE ARE. I CAN’T AFFORD ONE, SO I WEAR MY GARAGE DOOR OPENER.
YOU KNOW I SPENT A FORTUNE ON DEODORANT BEFORE I REALIZED THAT PEOPLE DIDN’T LIKE ME ANYWAY.
I WAS THINKING THAT WOMEN SHOULD PUT PICTURES OF MISSING HUSBANDS ON BEER CANS.
I HAVE GOTTEN THAT DREADED FURNITURE DISEASE. THAT’S WHEN YOUR CHEST IS FALLING INTO YOUR DRAWERS.
I KNOW, WHEN PEOPLE SEE A CAT’S LITTER BOX, THEY ALWAYS SAY, “OH, YOU GOT A CAT?” JUST ONCE I WANT TO SAY, “NO, IT’S FORCOMPANY.”
AN EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION BLANK ALWAYS ASKS WHO IS TO BE NOTIFIED IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. I THINK YOU SHOULD WRITE, “A GOOD DOCTOR!”
WHY DO THEY PUT PICTURES OF CRIMINALS UP IN THE POST OFFICE? WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO – WRITE TO THESE PEOPLE? WHY DON’T THEY JUST PUT THEIR PICTURES ON THE POSTAGE STAMPS SO THE MAIL MEN COULD LOOK FOR THEM WHILE THEY DELIVERMAIL? OR BETTER YET, ARREST THEM WHILE THEY ARE TAKING THEIR PICTURE.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE SEEM TO READ THE BIBLE A WHOLE LOT MORE AS THEY GET OLDER. THEN IT DAWNED ON ME, THEY WERE CRAMMING FOR THEIR FINALS. AS FOR ME, I’M JUST HOPING GOD GRADES ON THE CURVE.

MATTHEW SAYS. . .
I TAKE MATTHEW SCHOOL SHOPPING EVERY YEAR FOR PAPER, PENCILS, ECT, ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE ON THE SCHOOL LIST. THIS YEAR HE NEEDED A NEW BACKPACK. AFTER LOOKING THROUGH THE HUNDREDS OF THEM (TWICE) IN WALMART HE DECIDED ON ONE THAT HAD MANY, MANY POCKETS. I ASKED HIM WHY HE NEEDED SOOOO MANY POCKETS, HE TOLD ME THAT WHEN YOU ARE GOING INTO 3 RD GRADE YOU WILL NEED LOTS OF POCKETS CAUSE YOU HAVE LOTS MORE STUFF THAN 2 ND GRADE. SOUNDS REASONABLE. GOTTA LOVE HIM!!!

JUST A THOUGHT. . . I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PLAGUED WITH ALLERGIES. I USED TO LOVE TO SIT AND CUDDLE WITH MICHAELS PET HAMSTER, HERBIE, UNTIL ONE DAY, I STARTED SNEEZING AND COULDN’T CUDDLE WITH HIM ANYMORE. HE DIED A SHORT TIME LATER. I LIKE TO THINK HE MISSED ME BUT IT PROBABLY HAD TO DO WITH HIM BEING 4 YEARS OLD. ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES I WENT TO TIMS HOUSE WHEN WE WERE DATING, I RODE ON THE BACK OF THE

TRACTOR, HANGING ON TO THE SEAT THAT WAS COVERED WITH A DEER HIDE. I DIDN’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. YEP, EYES SWELLED SHUT, NOSE RUNNING, THROAT SWELLED.
NOT PRETTY. I CAN’T SAY I MADE A GOOD IMPRESSION WITH THE FUTURE IN-LAWS. MY GUYS HAVE TO UNDRESS ON THE FRONT PORCH DURING DEER SEASON CAUSE IF THEY BRING ONE HAIR IN MY HOUSE IT WILL FIND ME. WE WENT FOR A WALK UP IN RUSSELS HILLS LAST NOVEMBER. WE WALKED AROULD FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS LOOKING FOR DEER SHEDS, ALL I FOUND WAS A SMALL SKULL TO TAKE HOME. THE SKULL DIDN’T HAVE ANY HAIR ON IT SO I THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE. BY THE TIME WE WERE ON OUR WAY HOME AND TIM ASKED ME WHICH WAY I WANTED TO GO HOME I SAID IT DIDN’T MATTER CAUSE I COULDN’T SEE ANY WAY. I KNOW ENOUGH TO STAY AWAY FROM DEER AND OTHER FRIENDLY WOODLAND CREATURERS. BUT THIS TIME OF YEAR ITS IN THE AIR. ONE MINUTE I WILL BE FINE AND THE NEXT I AM STUFFED UP AND MISERABLE. WHY THEN AM I NOT ALLERGIC TO CATS AND DOGS. WHEN I TOOK ALL THOSE TESTS TO SEE WHAT I WAS ALLERGIC TO I BROKE OUT ON EVERYTHING BUT THE CAT AND DOG TESTS. THANK HEAVENS, CAUSE I LOVE DOGS AND CATS ARE OK TOO. RABBITS ARE RIGHT UP THERE WITH DEER. I PACKED AT A HOUSE ONE TIME AND I TOOK A BLANKET OUT OF THE CLOSET. I FOLDED IT AND PREPARRED TO STICK IT IN A BOX WHEN I STARTED TO ITCH. LATER THE LADY SAID THEIR KIDS HAD A HARMLESS LITTLE BUNNY RABBIT IN THE HOUSE TO PLAY WITH. THEY HAD WRAPPED THE POOR LITTLE CREATURE UP ON THAT PARTICULAR BLANKET. I SPENT MOST OF THE REST OF THE NEXT HOUR IN THE TRUCK TRYING TO NOT TO ITCH. I AM ALSO ALERGIC TO METALS. CERTAIN KINDS OF RINGS, NECKLACES, ERRINGS. I NEVER DID BREAK OUT FROM MY WEDDING RINGS, SO THAT MUST HAVE BEEN A GOOD OMEN. I WORE THEM UNTIL THEY CUT THEM OFF MY FINGER WHEN I BROKE IT. I WISH I COULD BE ALLERGIC TO SOME OTHER THINGS LIKE DISHES. MICHAEL IS ALLERGIC TO HOT SOAPY DISHWATER. I THINK I HAVE MENTIONED THAT BEFORE. WHY CAN’T I BE. OR MAYBE ALLERGIC TO LAUNDRY OR GROCERY SHOPPING. MAYBE I COULD BE ALLERGIC TO CLEANING THE HOUSE OR THE GARAGE. MY LUCK IT WOULD BE SOMETHING I LIKE TO DO.

GRANVILLE’S CENTENNIAL
What is happening? Where? When? There will be a three day celebration of 100 years as the city of Granville, beginning Friday, June 29 and continuing through Sunday, July 1, 2007.
The Centennial Committee has been meeting every month for nearly two years. There have been many successful fund raisers and more are going on in hopes of having the means to provide a wonderful celebration for all ages.
There will be activities, displays, music, a parade, and vendors of food as planned at present, with more plans in the making.
Most of you who reside in this community will be able to help in some way. You may have a great idea for something you’d like to see happen. Please give this to any of the committee who are: Mayor Linda Smette, Co-chrs Pat Heine and Lucille Loftesnes, Treasurer Kathy Nelson, and JoAnn Buriak, Jarvis Ehart, Arlyss Frey, Laurel Livingston, Donna Lundy, Betty Trana.
If anyone has an item of Granville Memorabilia, possibly bearing the name “Granville”, and you would like to donate that, it will be gladly accepted as an item to be auctioned during the celebration.
Plan on seeing more information on what to enjoy as we get closer to the dates next summer.
