A MELON COLLIE STORY

Lassie was sad. Call her . . . ‘’melancholy.’’

Ba-bum crash!

Pun fumes are threatening to overcome our whole family. Two things have converged for truly corny humor. First, we have all these veggies, gourds and pumpkins coming out of our ears. And second, Maddy is in to telling jokes now. She is the only one who belly laughs at the punchline. The rest of us smile in pain.

Sample:

Q. What do you get when the banana crosses the road?

A. More bananas come!

Her response: ‘’HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!’’

Our response: silent, painful smiling.

But this time, apparently inspired by our bountiful harvest, she told a truly funny one, whether she knew it was funny or not:

Q. What happened when the gourds crossed the road?

A. A car ran over them and turned them into SQUASH.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROBIN! My sister is being surprised today with a beautiful autumn wreath made by a DailySusan reader, whose happy customer I am. Email me if you’d like one, too, and I’ll put you in touch with the artist. May a wreath of happiness encircle you this year, BaBa.

Prayer request: A friend’s close friend, Pam, was diagnosed with a blood clot in the brain. Her pain has been excruciating. Now they have detected a second blockage that is inhibiting the flow of spinal fluid. They are going to put a ventricular drain through the skull. It's hoped this will relieve the incredible pressure and swelling. Complication: she’s been on blood thinners and her blood is too thin. So that’s a tall order for prayer. Oh, Lord, resolve this situation successfully for Pam and her husband Gary and children David and Amanda. You are our confidence and our strength. (Isaiah 30:15)
