Thanks to all of you for your kind words-I will try, in the future not to
offend anyone. A fellow lister-Michael-suggested a bit of irish humor before
each entry as he and I agree, as many of you, we can all use a few laughs
these days-he will provide me with the humor, enjoy! If any of you has a bit
of humor to share, please allow me to post it before each entry! Thanks
Mike! janet

The loving Irish wife

Seamus lay dying in his bed. In death's final agony, as he started to slip
away, he suddenly smelled the aroma of hot cooked soda bread wafting up the
stairs. He gathered his remaining strength and lifted himself from the bed.
Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and
with even greater effort forced himself down the stairs. Gripping the
railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs defying the pull of Morpheus.
With labored breath, he leaned against the door-frame, gazing in the
kitchen. Were it not for the immense pain caused by his extreme exertions,
he would have thought himself already in heaven for there spread out upon
waxed paper on the kitchen table were a couple of steaming hot soda breads
and a tub of "Kerrygold Butter". Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of
heroic love from his devoted wife, seeing to it that he left this world a
happy man? Mustering one great final effort, with tears in his eyes, he
threw himself toward the table, landing on his knees in a rumpled posture.
His parched lips parted: the wondrous taste of the bread and butter was
already mentally in his mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life. He felt
renewed strength pulsate through his body. The aged and withered hand
trembled on its way to the butter knife at the edge of the table, when it
was suddenly smacked with awooden spoon by his wife......
"Feck off, " she said, "they're for the funeral."
