Happy Easter!


I hope you are all having a wonderful Easter! It truly is a glorious day!

And now, I share with you a blonde joke my father sent to me...

Three blondes died and found themselves standing before St. Peter.

He told them that before they could enter the Kingdom, they had to tell him what Easter was.

The first blonde said, "Easter is a holiday where they have a big feast and we give thanks and eat turkey."

St. Peter sighed and said, "Blondes," and he banished her to hell.

The second blonde said, "Easter is when we celebrate Jesus' birth and exchange gifts."

St. Peter sighed again, said nothing and simply banished her to hell, as well.

The third blonde said she knew for sure what Easter is, and St. Peter said, "Okay, tell me."

So she said, "Easter is a Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover feast with His disciples when he was betrayed by Judas, and the Romans arrested him. The Romans hung Him on the cross and eventually He died. Then they buried Him in a tomb behind a very large b oulder.

St. Peter said, "Verrrrry good."

Then the blonde continued, "Now, every year the Jews roll away the boulder, and Jesus comes out. If he sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of basketball."

La La - Happy Easter to you too!! I have no doubt you indulged in a few Easter Eggs over the weekend.... Just wanted to let you know that I've been having problems with sending e-mails from my yahoo account at my new job. I can still read them and have been wanting to reply to your last e-mail but have to wait until I can get to the library or to to use someone elses computer. Talk to you soon though.
