“My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.”

"I now pronounce you husband and wife....besides "we have lift off "or "war is declared", few statements are more sobering."


ERMA BOMBECK

I don't know about you, but I haven't thought of Erma Bombeck in years.  But with this program offering,  I checked out the Bombeck book we had and I haven't stopped laughing.  More than likely it'll be a cold and dreary day so come join us for a couple of laughs.
