Ah, the serious rains have returned to the northwest and Seattle! And yet there are still so many colorful trees that retain their leaves and it is a small forest of those and evergreens that await me every morning -- even through the pouring rain! It is quite cold, but Sam and I are warm inside the apartment and he is happy to do with short walks!! I'm SO glad for that!  So, here are a few for today -- before the rains began!

I'll be a little late signing in today as I have a doctor's appointment, but I'll still be visiting as many of your wonderful blogs as possible!

Some More Smiles for Wednesday!

To save the economy, on November 20, 2011, the Government will announce

they are ordering the immigration department to start deporting old people

(instead of illegals) in order to lower Social Security and Medicare costs.

Old people are easier to catch, and will not remember how to get back home!

I started crying when I thought of all of  you.  Then it dawned on me, oh crap.....

I'll see you on the bus! 

AND ..... New Church signs!  I do love a sense of humor wherever I find it -- particularly these days!!

Hope you all have a great day! Enjoy!  Don't turn on the news!!
