The Sack Lunches

EXCERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you’ll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks. Then try 50-lb potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I’m at this level.)
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.

ONLY A MOTHER WOULD KNOW……
Cup of Tea .
One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me.
I was maybe 2 1/2 years old. Someone had given me a little ‘tea set’ as
A gift and it was one of my favorite toys.
Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I
Brought Daddy a little cup of ‘tea’, which was just water. After several
Cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home.
My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of
Tea, because it was ‘just the cutest thing!’ My Mom waited, and sure
Enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she
Watches him drink it up.
Then she says, smiling, (as only a mother would know.. 🙂
‘Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?
Thank you all for your royal welcome! see you around! Happy Shushan Purim!
