There will be a Memorial Weekend bar-b-que at Mom's house on Sunday, May 29, and all are welcome. Bring your working duds, as we will do some spring cleaning in and around the house, as well as doing some landscaping work in the front and back. The day will highlight a top notch cook-out featuring Steve (5-second rule) McCarty on the grill. The more people that can come and help, the easier the total job will be. We will start at about 1 pm. |

The 10th Annual Dan McCarty Golf Classic will be held on August 6, 2005, at Greystone Golf and Country Club. Greystone beat out several other golf courses in their quest to hold the prestigious event for the seventh time. The DMGC raised over $10,000 last year for the Lupus Alliance of America in an event held at Twin Lakes Golf Club, and hopes to do better this year. Over the past 9 years, the event has raised thousands of dollars for worthy charities in Dan's name, including the Kidney Foundation, Multiple Sclerosis Society, American Heart Association and the Lupus Alliance. The Lupus website is now on-line, and all that are interested are encouraged to register ASAP, as every year has been a sell-out. Visit today!!! |

A Minneapolis couple, Bob & Dianne Jenkins, decided to go to Florida to thaw out from this past icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, Bob left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day. The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email. Meanwhile, in Houston, TX, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fell to the floor. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor dead, and saw the computer screen which read:To: My Loving Wife

DATELINE LONDON, ENGLAND
Prince Charles was driving around his mother's estate when he accidentally ran over her favorite dog, a corgi, crushing it to a pulp. He got out of his Range Rover and sat down on the grass totally distraught. The whole world was against him and now his mother would go ballistic. Suddenly he noticed a lamp half-buried in the ground. He dug it up, polished it and immediately a genie appeared. 'You have freed me from thousands of years of imprisonment, said the genie. 'As a reward I shall grant you one wish.' 'Well,' said the Prince, 'I have all the material things I need, but let me show you this dog.' They walk over to the splattered remains of the dog. 'Do you think you could bring this dog back to life for me?' the Prince asked. The genie carefully looked at the remains and shook his head. 'This body is too far gone for even me to bring it back to life. Is there something else you would like?' The Prince thought for a minute, reached into his pocket and pulled out two photos. 'I was married to this beautiful woman called Diana,'said Prince Charles, showing the genie the first photo. 'But now I love this woman called Camilla,' and he showed the genie the second photo. 'You see Camilla isn't beautiful at all, so do you think you can make Camilla as beautiful as Diana?' The genie studied the two photographs and after a few minutes said, 'Let's have a look at that dog again.' |
