Just because Sandee of Comedy Plus is no longer hosting a Silly Sunday blog hop, do not expect me to quit telling Cajun jokes, especially as it has now become a habit.
Grandma actually ate a whole cheeseburger yesterday and is worrying about not feeling well from eating too much. She also is concerned about her weight, which she no longer needs to be as she never gets much over 100 lbs./46 kg.
Clothile done gone to de doctor fo' de annual check-up, an' when dey done tell her she gots to get on de scale, she ax, "Please don' tell me how much I weigh in pounds, jes' tell me in kilogram 'cause dat way it don' sound so depressing!"

Sunday Selections was started as a way for bloggers to use photos that might otherwise just languish in their files. The rules have been relaxed, and it is now simply a showcase for your photos, new or old, good or bad, although nothing rude, please. It was hosted by River, who still participates, and is now hosted by Elephant's Child..
Our church just finished Vacation Bible School, and i snapped photos of the set-up in the gym, as well as the "Jacob's Ladder" they were building for the lessons. Also, some sky photos because i can't help it.

This week, Nunnie wants to join the Kitties Blue at The Cat On My Head for their Sunday Selfies Blog Hop.
She has a previous mouth injury which gives her a bit of an odd look, as if she's sticking her tongue out at you all of the time, but she's one of the most loving cats ever.
