Hawaii Five-0 - (Maui Vacation)

Eight years ago today we left for Hawaii for our first time.   We had so much fun.  I have found that looking at old vacation videos is a lot cheaper than going there in person?  I first read a comic book by Dennis the Menace in the early 60's that caught my attention (wish I still owned that comic book- I paid 25 cents for it new). Later I would hear an Adventures in Odessey Story of the Barkleys visiting Hawaii (Focus on the Family) that would keep my attention on that island.(I still own that cassette tape) We had won 3 free nights stay at the Maui in the Banyan in Maui. Temperatures ranged from 46 degrees at 10,000 feet at dawn, to 83 degrees as a high. We traveled 533 miles on our rental car with gas costing around 4.34 a gallon. And the entire 7 days cost us  less than $1,800.  Thank you Journey Travel and Aston at the Maui Banyan and thanks Darcie for watching our animals and house while gone. We had so much fun. And reliving that week did not cost me anything. 

“No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one”

“The alternative to a vacation is to stay home and tip every third person you see.”

“A vacation should be just long enough that you're boss misses you, and not long enough for him to discover how well he can get along without you

I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing

I love my job and am looking forward to  this winter. I will be working 6 to 4:30pm, Tuesday through Friday in Wenatchee starting Dec. 3rd.  I added a few photos of work 5 years ago when I worked Leavenworth to an old song called "I'd Like to Teach the World To Sing".  It was removed from YouTube for copyright even though I got the music from YouTube.  The song first aired on American radio on February 12, 1971, but failed. I hope you find the tune stuck in your head and I hope you have a Wonderful Holiday Season.

A soprano died and went to Heaven. St. Peter stopped her at the gate asking, "Well, how many false notes did you sing in your life?"

The soprano answers, "Three."
"Three times, fellows!" says Pete, and along comes an angel and sticks the soprano three times with a needle.
"Ow! What was that for?" asks the soprano.

Pete explains, "Here in heaven, we stick you once for each false note you've sung down on Earth."

"Oh," says the soprano, and is just about to step through the gates when she suddenly hears a horrible screaming from behind a door. "Oh my goodness, what is that?" asks the soprano, horrified.
"Oh," says Pete, "that's a tenor we got some time back. He's just about to start his third week in the sewing machine."

Q: How do you tell when your lead singer is at the door?

A: He can't find the key and doesn't know when to come in.

Q: What happens if you play blues music backwards?

A: Your wife returns to you, your dog comes back to life, and you get out of prison.
