Laugh for the Day

A Thorny Subject

Our 8-year-old granddaughter Raven, a city girl,

asked to help me cook. “Get some potatoes out of

that red basket,” I said. The potatoes were starting

to sprout but were still usable. She hurried over to

the basket but didn’t come back. I looked that way

and saw that she was just standing there. “Raven, are

you going to get those potatoes?” I asked. Looking a

bit bewildered, she replied, “Grandma, did you know

your potatoes have thorns?”

Quill Question

A grandpa told his grandson that ballpoint pens hadn’t

yet been invented when he was a boy. “Was that

back when they used feathers?” the child asked.

Golden Years

At his birthday party, my grandson said, “I love you,”

and I replied, “I love you, too.” Then he said , “I wish

you were 5 years old like me so you would be around

longer.”

Return to Sender

I was picking up my letters at the post office when I

heard a boy ask his mother if they had gotten any

mail. She said, “Nope, just bills.” Then he asked,

“Why do we always get his mail?”

Teach the Teacher

Years ago, my dad started first grade in a one-room

country school. When he returned home after that

first day of class, his mother asked him if he liked it.

Dad answered, “I don’t see any reason to go back to

that school, because the teacher had to ask me how

to spell cat.”

FRIENDS OF THE SUNSHINE CENTER

The Friends of the Sunshine Center, Inc., is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization. Friends of the Sunshine Center,

Inc., is the financial support arm for the Sunshine Center. As the Board of Directors, we host events to raise

money for improvements to the Sunshine Center, and we sponsor special event meals.

We have provided funds to furnish the Exercise Room with a wooden floor and wall mirror, reupholstered the

furniture in the Banyan Room, helped sponsor Valentine’s Day luncheons and paid for new ovens in the Sunset

Avenue Café. In August of 2012, we purchased a new refrigerator for the Ballroom and installed new flooring

for the entire Banyan Room!

We are seeking members. We need volunteers who think ahead, have good and positive ideas and who will par-

ticipate in sponsored events from the planning stage to helping on the day of the event. If interested, turn in a
