Happy Wednesday! Here’s a little something to make you smile. Enjoy the rest of your week!

1. A guy walks into Barnes and Noble to buy a book about turtles. After a little walking around with no luck, he decides to ask the girl behind the desk if they have any. "Hardback?" she asks. He doesn't hesitate: "Yeah," he says. "And they bury their eggs in the sand."

“Now, Neal, I want you to ride the school bus straight home today. Your dad wants you to start weeding the garden.” Those were the words of my mother that spring morning in 1944, words that eventually were providential. My mother and father both worked in town. Sometimes, after school, I would walk the three blocks downtown and just “mess around” until closing time. I would go into Dad’s office (he was the county clerk) and play with a typewriter. Then I would go into my mother’s beauty shop and see who was getting their hair fixed and listen to the gossip.
