Finding the Funny

Weather Alert: Georgia Blizzard!

Thursday, January 17, 2008 By Sherra

Snow HIT Georgia last night in case you didn’t see this National News Story. Thankfully, my daughters took some pictures.


Since I grew up in the Midwest, I don’t really freak out when it snows. But I respect the fact that it is an exciting time for people who see snow just a few times in their life. I think it’s a marvelous thing for kids to experience.

Sometimes I even get a little sad thinking my kids have missed some really great winter activities like sledding, skiing and snowmobiling.

As you can see, we got a a really, thick blanket of snow. I wish I had a picture of my 8 year-old standing in the street with an umbrella watching the snow fall for two hours freezing but full of glee.

The 11:00 news story made me laugh. I know these kinds of interviews are what gives the South a bad name. You know what I mean, as if people in the south aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed…

They actually interviewed a grown man and a 17 year-old boy who described how he made a snowman. It went something like this and you’ll have to insert your own twang while reading:

I started with a small snowball and then I started rollin’ it all over the yard and it just kept gitin’ bigger and bigger then I made another one and another one. Then I went inside and got him a hat.

Then they showed his creation which I’m sure was a very proud moment for him and his maw and paw.

You might think I’m makin’ fun. But I can’t. Not really. Because then my 16 year-old twin daughters came in and showed me this picture of their very own creation.

Enough said.

My Life in the Kitchen

Thursday, December 27, 2007 By Sherra

This was my life in the kitchen from approximately 1992 to 2003.

Except without vegetables.

Because my kids are picky eaters.

My husband is on the chart too.

I surrendered a few years ago.

Now they have to fend for themselves.

Sidenote:

Close To Home© cartoons make me laugh. John McPherson has been hiding in our house and spying on us. It’s actually kind of creepy.

But when I emailed him just before Christmas to ask if I could post his cartoons here, he didn’t seem creepy at all. He was very nice. Here’s what he said:

December 17, 2007

Hi, Sherra!

Thanks for your kind words about my cartoons. You are welcome to use them at your site. If you can leave a link to my site at www.closetohome.com that would be great.

I hope you’ll keep tuning in to Close To Home and keep your eyes peeled for my new book “Everything I Need to Know on I learned on Jerry Springer” and my 2008 calendars.

Best regards,

John McPherson

NOTE: He didn’t say he wasn’t hiding in our house.

Look forward to more of his cartoons here or check out his website. I actually have my Yahoo page set so I read one every day!

The gift is to share the lesson.
