Happy Friday Ya’ll….

An Israeli doctor says ‘Medicine in my country is so advanced that we
can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him
looking for work in six weeks.’

A German doctor says ‘That is nothing; we can take a lung out of one
person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks.

A Russian doctor says ‘In my country, medicine is so advanced that we
can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have
them both looking for work in two weeks.’

The Texas doctor, not to be outdone, says ‘You guys are way behind, we
recently took a man with no brains out of Texas, put him in the White
House for eight years, and now half the country is looking for work.’

For those who might be offended…this is just a joke. I respect our president as much as the next person and I believe he has a sense of humor.

Today’s economy isn’t very funny and neither are our housing prices. Remember this to shall pass. Real Estate will always be a good investment, especially in California. Want proof…Call your Realtor and ask for the last 20yrs comparison. Have a Great Weekend.

Happy Friday Ya’ll…

Oh, Paul...

Oh, Paul...

Precious Moments….

A Michigan woman and her family were vacationing in a small New England town
where Paul Newman and his family often visited.

One Sunday morning, the woman got up early to take a long walk. After a brisk five-mile hike, she decided to treat herself to a double-dip chocolate ice cream cone.

She hopped in the car, drove to the center of the village and went straight
to the combination bakery/ice cream parlor.

There was only one other patron in the store:
Paul Newman, sitting at the counter having a doughnut and coffee.
The woman ’s heart skipped a beat as her eyes made contact with those
famous baby-blue eyes.

The actor nodded graciously and the star struck woman smiled demurely.

Pull yourself together! She chides herself.

You’re a happily married woman with three children, you’re forty-five years old, not a teenager!The clerk filled her order and she took the double-dip chocolate ice cream
cone in one hand and her change in the other. Then she went out the door,

I Melted!

avoiding even a glance in Paul Newman’s direction.

When she reached her car, she realized that she had a handful of change but
her other hand was empty.

Where’s my ice cream cone? Did I Leave it in the store? Back into the shop she went, expecting to see
the cone still in the clerk’s hand or in a holder on the counter or something. No ice cream cone was in sight..

With that, she happened to look over at Paul Newman. His face broke into his familiar,
warm, friendly grin and he said to the woman, “You put it in your purse“.

I Melted!
