Quick Wit:
A blonde called the fire department. 

She screams into the phone, "Hurry, come quick! My house is on 
fire." 

The fire chief replied, "OK, but how do we get to your house?" 

The blond said, "Duh, Red Truck!"

 Hypocrite:  Someone who complains that there is too much sex and violence 
on his VCR.

I woke early one morning
The earth lay cool and still
When suddenly a tiny bird
Perched on my window sill,

He sang a song so lovely
So carefree and so gay,
That slowly all my troubles
Began to slip away

He sang of far off places
Of laughter and of fun,
It seemed his winsome tweeting, 
Brought up the morning sun.
I stirred beneath the covers
Crept slowly out of bed,
Then gently lowered the window
And smacked his little head.

I'm not a morning person...

REQUEST:
From:  (Donna)  Beals7ofus@aol.com

We received some GREAT news from the Genetic Counselor yesterday afternoon! 
She called to tell us that all the chromosome tests have come out normal on 
Jessica's baby boy! They were very surprised by the results in Madison. 
I believe it was by the power of prayer! Jessica goes for another level 
2 ultrasound on Tuesday, November 16th. Jessica tells me that baby boy is 
moving lots and lots so he is a shaker and mover!!! I am trying to persuade 
Jessica and Steve to name this little precious baby boy! He does have severe 
heart defects and also club feet, but we don't know the severity......we are 
prayerful that both can be taken care of when the baby arrives! thanks for your 
prayers.....Keep the prayers coming!  ~ Donna
