airhead jokes

(Phew! I just dodged another bullet!) Several months back I posted some blonde jokes. A blonde friend asked me to please cool it for a while with the blonde jokes! Figuring there might be others who felt the same way and just hadn’t expressed their sentiments to me, I honored her plea. Please, don’t shoot me! Actually, if you looked at the pictures of me mentioned above, you will see that I am becoming somewhat of a platinum blond myself. Hence, lately I’m a bit more sensitive myself to humor about those with lighter hair.

As a result, today’s jokes are about airheads instead….

***
A noted psychiatrist was a guest at a gathering for airheads where his hostess broached a subject with which the doctor was quite at ease.

“Would you mind telling me, Doctor,” she asked, “how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?”

“That’s easy,” he replied. “You ask them a simple question which everyone should be able to answer with no trouble. If they hesitate, that puts you on the right track.”

“What sort of question would you ask, Doctor?”

“Well, I might ask, “Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?’”

The airhead thought for a moment, then said with a nervous laugh - “You wouldn’t happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don’t know much about history.”

***
There are two women getting ready to leave for work. The first one gets in the driver’s seat and her airheaded friend gets in the passenger’s seat. The drivers says, “We’re late, so you watch out the back window for cops.” As she speeds down the road she asks the airhead, “So, do you see any cops?”

The airhead replies, “Yes.” The driver says, “Are they behind us?” “Yes.” “Are they close?” “Yes.” “Are they going to stop us?” “I don’t know.” “Well, are their lights on?” “Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes.”

***
A airhead was recently hired at an office. Her first task was to go out for coffee. Eager to do well her first day on the job, she grabbed a large thermos and hurried to a nearby coffee shop. She held up the thermos and the coffee shop worker quickly came over to take her order.

“Is this big enough to hold six cups of coffee?” the airhead asked. The coffee shop worker looked at the thermos, hesitated a few seconds, then finally replied, “Yeah. It looks like about six cups to me.” “Oh good!” the airhead sighed in relief. “Then give me two regular black, two regular with cream, and two decafs with sugar.

***

The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so an airheaded woman went in to try out for the job.
“Okay,” said the sheriff, “what is 1 and 1?”
“Eleven,” she replied.

The sheriff thought to himself, “That’s not what I meant, but I guess she’s right technically.”
“What two days of the week start with the letter ‘T’?”
“Today and tomorrow.”

He was again surprised that the airhead supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself.
“Now, listen carefully. Who killed Abraham Lincoln?”

The airhead looked a little surprised, thought really hard for a minute, and finally admitted, “I don’t know.”

“Well, why don’t you go home and work on that one for awhile?”

So, the airhead wandered over to the beauty parlor, where her pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview. The airhead was exultant. “It went great! First day on the job and I’m already working on a murder case!”

***
The other day I was in the local auto part store. An airhead came in and asked for a seven ten cap.

We all looked at each other and said, “What’s a seven ten cap?”

She said “You know, it’s right on the engine. Mine got lost somehow and I need a new one.”

“What kind of a car is it on,” they asked?

I’m thinking maybe an old Datsun Seven Ten, but no, she said its a Buick.

“OK lady, how big is it?”

She makes a circle with her hands about 3-1/2 inches in diameter.

What does it do?,” we asked.

She said, “I don’t know, but its always been there.”

One of us gave her a note pad and asked her if she could draw a picture of it. So she makes a circle about 3-1/2 inches in diameter and in the center she writes 710.

The guys behind the counter were looking at it upside down as she wrote it…and they just fell down behind the counter laughing so hard in hysterics.

***
An airhead goes for a job interview in an office. The interviewer starts with the basics. “So, Miss, can you tell me your age, please?”

The airhead counts carefully on her fingers for half a minute before replying. “Um … 22.”

The interviewer tries another straightforward question to break the ice. “And can you tell me your height, please?”

The young lady stands up and produces a measuring tape from her handbag. She then traps one end under her foot and extends the tape to the top of her head. She checks the measurement and announces, “Five foot two!”

This isn’t looking good, so the interviewer goes for the real basics - something she won’t have to count, measure, or look up. “Uh, just to confirm for our records, your name please?”

She bobs her airy head from side to side for about fifteen seconds, mouthing something silently to herself, before replying, “Jenny!”

The interviewer is completely baffled at this stage, so he asks, “What were you doing after I asked you your name?”

“Oh, that!” replies the airhead,” I was just running through that song, ‘Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, dear….’”

***
Two tourists were driving through Louisiana. As they were approaching Natchitoches, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch.

As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the airheaded employee, “Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are … very slowly?”

The airheaded girl leaned over the counter and said, “Burrrrrrrr, gerrrrrrr, Kiiiiing.”

***
An airhead named Barbara is appearing on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. The following exchange takes place:

Regis: Barbara, you’ve done very well so far - $500,000 and one lifeline left - phone a friend. The next question will give you a million dollars if you get it right … but if you get it wrong you will drop back to $32,000 - are you ready?

Barbara: Sure, I’ll have a go at it.

Regis: Which of the following birds does not build its own nest? Is it…
A. Robin
B. Sparrow
C. Cuckoo
D. Thrush.
Remember Barbara it’s worth one million dollars.

Barbara: I think I know who it … but I’m not 100%…. No, I haven’t got a clue. I’d like to phone a friend, Regis, just to be sure.

Regis: Yes, who, Barbara, do you want to phone?

Barbara: I’ll phone my friend Carol back home in Brooklyn. (ringing)

Carol (also an airhead): Hello…

Regis: Hello Carol, it’s Regis Philbin here from Who Wants to be a Millionaire. I have Barbara here and she is doing really well on $500,000, but needs your help to a million. The next voice you hear will be Barbara’s and she’ll read you the question. There are 4 possible answers and 1 correct answer and you have 30 seconds to answer - fire away Barbara.

Barbara: Carol, which of the following birds does not build its own nest? Is it:
A. Robin
B. Sparrow
C. Cuckoo
D. Thrush

Carol: Oh, Barbara, that’s simple! It’s a Cuckoo.

Barbara: You think so?

Carol: I’m sure.

Barbara: Thanks, Carol. (hangs up)

Regis: Well, do you want to stick on $500,000 or play on for the million, Barbara?

Barbara: I want to play, I’ll go with C. Cuckoo.

Regis: Is that your final answer?

Barbara: It is.

Regis: Are you confident?

Barbara: Yes, fairly, Carol may be an airhead, but she’s a real wiz about some things.

Regis: Barbara … you had $500,000 and you said C. Cuckoo … you’re right! You have just won ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Here is your check. You have been a great contestant. Audience please put your hands together for Barbara.

(clapping)

That night Barbara goes to Carol’s to celebrate. Barbara turns to Carol and asks, “Tell me Carol, how in the world did you know that it was the Cuckoo that does not build its own nest?”

Carol: Listen Barbara, everybody knows that a Cuckoo lives in a clock.

A young man wanted to get his beautiful, yet airheaded wife something nice for their first wedding anniversary. So he decided to buy her a cell phone. She was all excited, she loved her phone. He showed her and explained to her all the features on the phone.

The next day the wife went shopping. Her phone rang and it was her husband. “Hi, Hon!” he said. “How do you like your new phone?”

She replied, “I just love it, it’s so small and your voice is clear as a bell but there’s one thing I don’t understand though.”

“What’s that, baby?” asked the husband.

“How did you know I was at Wal-Mart?”

Airhead’s Cook Book

MONDAY:
It’s fun to cook for Bob. Today I made angel food cake. The recipe said beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls.

TUESDAY:
Bob wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve without dressing. So I didn’t dress. What a surprise when Bob brought a friend home for supper.

WEDNESDAY:
A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kinda of silly but I took a bath. I can’t say it improved the rice any.

THURSDAY:
Today Bob asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said prepare ingredients, then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Which is what led up to Bob asking me why I was rolling around in the garden.

FRIDAY:
I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put all ingredients in bowl and beat it. There must have been something wrong with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same as when I left.

SATURDAY:
Bob did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. (Oh, boy… for some reason Bob keeps counting to ten.)

SUNDAY:
Bob’s folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast. All I could find was hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius. I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment.

GOOD NIGHT, DEAR DIARY.
This has been a very exciting week. I am eager for tomorrow to come so I can try out a new recipe on Bob. If we could just get a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with Chocolate Moose.

A policeman is interrogating three airheads who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first airhead a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it.

“This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?”

The first airhead answers, “That’s easy, we’ll catch him fast because he only has one eye!”

The policeman says, “Well … uh … that’s because the picture shows his profile.”

Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second airhead and asks her, “This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?”

The second airhead giggles, flips her hair and says, “Ha! He’d be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!”

The policeman angrily responds, “What’s the matter with you two?! Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it’s a picture of his profile!! Is that the best answer you can come up with?

Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third airhead and in a very irritated voice asks, “This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?” He quickly adds “…think hard before giving me a stupid answer.”

She looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, “Hmmmm … the suspect wears contact lenses.”

The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn’t know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not.

“Well, that’s an interesting answer … wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I’ll get back to you on that.”

He leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspect’s file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face.

“Wow! I can’t believe it … it’s TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation?”

“That’s easy,” the airhead replied. “He can’t wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear.”

For those of you who don’t already know, I let my beard grow for the first three weeks of my Christmas break. At the end of that time, I decided to shave it off. Although several people have said they’re disappointed that I’ve shaved off my beard, I’ve had far more people tell me that I look better or younger without it. Several have outright *thanked* me for shaving it off, saying they’re glad they don’t have to look at me with the beard and try to overlook it! For those who didn’t get to see me with the beard and would like to, at the top of my blog, I’ve put back the picture of me looking out over the city of Paris. (Psst! …whisper… For the sake of the gullible, that’s not really me up there - unfortunately I didn’t get to Paris over the holidays!) I did put pictures of me with my beard in a comment to a recent blog post. You can see them by clicking here. I’ve chosen as my new motto, “Beautifying America, one shave at a time.”

There was a blonde driving an old (or shall we say, real) VW and encountered engine problems and had to pull over to the side of the road. She got out, went to the front, and opened the hood. A friend of hers, also a blonde, was passing by and saw her standing over the front of her VW with a puzzled look on her face. So, the friend pulled over, walked up, and said, “What seems to be the problem?”

“Well,” said our blonde friend, “My VW quit running, and when I pulled over and opened the hood, I discovered that someone had stolen my engine!”

“Well, isn’t this your lucky day!” replied her friend. “I just happen to have a spare in my trunk!”

***
A restaurant in California installed a magic mirror in the women’s restroom. If a woman said something into the mirror and it was the truth, she’d receive one free wish. If it was a lie, she’d be sucked up into the mirror forever.

The first woman to try out the mirror was a redhead. She looked deep into the mirror and said, “I think I’m the most beautiful woman in the world.” POOF!!! She was sucked up into the mirror.

Then a brunette came in to try out the mirror. After admiring her image for a while, she said, “I think I’m the smartest woman in the world.” POOF!!! She was sucked up into the mirror.

Then a blonde came in and after staring into the mirror for what seemed like hours, she said, “I think…” POOF!!!

A blonde bombshell walks into the airplane and sits in first class, and the stewardess asks her for her ticket. The stewardess tells her that she only has a coach ticket.

The blonde says, “I’m a cute blonde and I’m flying first class.”

The stewardess replies that she only has a coach seat to Atlanta.

The blonde then retorts, “I’m a cute blonde and I’m flying first class.”

Just then the captain happened by and asked what was happening. The blonde tells him, “I’m a cute blonde and I’m flying first class.

The captain whispers in her ear, and the blonde gets up and jumps into a seat in the coach cabin.

The stewardess asks the captain what he said to get her to move so fast. He replied, “I told her that first class is not going all the way to Atlanta.”

***
Two blondes living in Oklahoma were sitting on a bench talking. And one blonde says to the other, “Which do you think is farther away, Florida or the moon?”

The other blonde turns and says, “Helloooooooooo, can you see Florida?!?”

***
A blonde went into work one morning crying her eyes out. Her boss asked sympathetically, “What’s the matter?”

The blonde replied, “Early this morning I got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away.”

The boss, feeling very sorry for her, said, “Why don’t you go home for the day? We aren’t terribly busy. Just take the day off to relax and rest.”

“Thanks, but I’d be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it and I have the best chance of doing that here.”

The boss agreed and allowed the blonde to work as usual. A few hours pass and the boss decided to check on the blonde. He looked out over his office and saw the blonde crying hysterically. “What’s the matter? Are you gonna be okay?” he asked.”

No!” exclaimed the blonde. “Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, I received a horrible call from my sister. She said her mom died too!”

***
There are three blondes stranded on an island. Suddenly a fairy appears and offers to grant each one of them one wish.

The first blonde asks to be intelligent. Instantly, she is turned into a redheaded woman, and she swims off the island.

The next blonde asks to be even more intelligent than the previous one, so instantly she is turned into a brunette. The brunette builds a boat and sails off the island.

The third blonde asks to become even more intelligent than the previous two. The fairy turns her into a man, and he walks across the bridge.

Two tourists were driving through Louisiana. As they were approaching Natchitoches, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch.

As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the blonde employee, “Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are … very slowly?”

The blonde girl leaned over the counter and said, “Burrrrrrrr, gerrrrrrr, Kiiiiing.”

A blonde goes into a beauty parlor. Once the blonde is seated in the beautician’s chair, the beautician notices that the blonde is wearing headphones. The beautician starts to remove them so that she can work on the blonde’s hair. The blonde reacts almost violently, saying that she can *never* remove the headphones, or she will *die*!

The beautician thinks “Ooookaaay,” but she keeps her cool and does what she can, working around the headphones. While the blonde is sitting under the hairdryer, she falls asleep. The beautician thinks, “I just wonder…,” and decides to see what would happen if she removed the headphones. She tiptoes over, gently removes the headphones from the sleeping blonde, and is horrified to see the blonde gasp for air and keel over - DEAD!!!

After calling 911 (not being a blonde herself, the beautician is able to do this), overcome with curiosity while awaiting their arrival, the beautician goes back to the blonde to hear what she was listening to on the headphones.

Placing them on her own head, she is amazed to hear, “Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out….”

blonde jokes

Posted on 29 Oct 2007 at 7:41 pm | 6 comments so far

People have been asking me why I haven’t posted any blonde jokes lately. Frankly, I have become more sensitive about blonde jokes now that my hair is becoming increasingly platinum blond. Surely the platinum blond hair must be the explanation for some of my airheadedness lately! It can’t be because of my age…. I prefer to think of my “senior moments” as more like “platinum moments,” thank you very much! :-) Well, I’m giving in and posting some blonde jokes since I haven’t in a long time….

Blondes (justifiably or not) have a reputation of being “airheads” or of not being the sharpest knives in the drawer. And blonde jokes have proliferated! In my files I have a *lot* of blonde jokes - more than anyone would care to read in one blog post. From time to time, I’ll post some blonde jokes until I exhaust my resources.

DISCLAIMER: I hasten to add that not all blondes are airheads, and not all airheads are blonde! If you’re blonde, you might want to substitute the words brunette or redhead instead….

I’ll start off with a real-life blonde story from my student days. When I was in a dorm student at BJU, we had assigned seats at dinner each night. We would eat supper at that table for several weeks, until the new assignments came out. This was hard in some ways because people who were more shy were in essence forced to get to know people. The upside of it, though, was that we learned to be gracious in a more formal social context with people that we didn’t know very well. In fact, there are happily married BJ grads who met at one of their assigned dinner tables.

Back then, blonde jokes weren’t in - we told Polack jokes. (In fact many of the old Polack jokes work well as blonde jokes.) At one dinner table where I sat there was a gorgeous blonde girl of Polish descent whose name was Beth. (I’ve changed her first name and will withhold the last name … but you just know that it had to end in -ski.) Beth took everyone’s Polack jokes fairly good-naturedly (probably since she was blonde and forgot that she was Polish too….) Anyway, one evening she came to dinner and announced, “Okay, everyone, *I* have a Polack joke tonight!”

We were all pretty amazed. Here’s the joke she told us. (I promise you…I am *not* making this story up!) Beth asked, “How do you break a Polack’s nose?” (Everyone who’d heard the joke before just cringed, knowing that she was messing it up royally.) Someone said, “Okay, Beth, how do you break a Polack’s nose?” Her reply, “You hit him in the finger.” I thought that they were going to have to carry us all out of the dining common that night after our beautiful, dumb blonde Beth switched the question and the punchline. It was just *too* delicious! And it really did happen to me! :-)

A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit one night. It was her turn, she rolled the dice, and she landed on “Science & Nature.” Her question was, “If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?”

She thought for a time and then asked, “Is it on or off?”

***
A blonde walks up to a Coke machine and puts in her change. Out pops a coke. The blonde looks amazed and runs away to get some more coins. She returns and starts feeding the machine madly, and of course the machine keeps sending out drinks. Another person walks up behind the blonde and watches her antics for a few minutes before stopping her and asking if someone else could have a go at it. The blonde spins around and shouts in her face, “Can’t you see I’m winning!”

***
Two blondes were walking through the woods and they came to some tracks.

The first blonde said, “These look like deer tracks,” and the other one said, “No, they look like moose tracks.”

They argued and argued for a while and they were still arguing when the train hit them.

Two blondes were in a parking lot trying to unlock the door of their Mercedes with a coat hanger. They tried and tried to get the door open, but they couldn’t. The girl with the coat hanger stopped for a moment to catch her breath, and her friend said anxiously, “Hurry up! It’s starting to rain, and the top is down.”

***
A blonde is out for a walk. She comes to a river and sees another blonde on the opposite bank. “Yoohoo,” she shouts, “how can I get to the other side?”.

The second blonde looks up the river then down the river then shouts back, “Hello!!! You are on the other side!”

***
A blonde had a near death experience the other day when she went horseback riding. Everything was going fine until the horse started bouncing out of control. She tried with all her might to hang on, but was thrown off. With her foot caught in the stirrup, she fell head first to the ground. Her head continued to bounce on the ground as the horse did not stop or even slow down. Just as she was giving up hope and losing consciousness, the Wal-Mart manager came out and unplugged it.

***
There are 2 women getting ready to leave for work. The brunette gets in the driver’s seat and the blonde gets in the passenger’s seat. The brunette says, “We’re late, so you watch out the back window for cops.” As she speeds down the road she asks the blonde, “So, do you see any cops?”

The blonde replies, “Yes.”
The brunette says, “Are they behind us?”
“Yes.”
“Are they close?”
“Yes.”
“Are they going to stop us?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well, are their lights on?”
“Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes.”

***
Why can’t blondes dial 911?
–They can’t find the eleven on the phone!

***
Did you hear about the blonde who succeeded in reaching 911 to let them know that her house was on fire? After she finished telling about the problem, the dispatcher asked her, “How do we get to your house?”

She replied, “DUH! In your big red truck?!?”

***
Some states are now requiring that the switch for highbeam headlights be installed as a button on the floor of the car as they used to be. The problem that occasioned this legislation was the large number of accidents being caused by blondes trying to turn on their brights and getting their foot stuck in the steering wheel.

***
A blonde and a brunette were watching the 11:00 news. The current news story was about a man up on a ledge and threatening to jump. The station cuts to a commercial.

Brunette: I bet you $20 he’s going to jump.
Blonde: OK.

(back to newscast)

He jumps.

Blonde: OK. Here’s my $20.
Brunette: No, that was too easy. I can’t take it.
Blonde: I insist. I lost.
Brunette: I have a confession to make. I saw the same story on the 6:00 news and knew he jumped. So it wasn’t really a fair bet.
Blonde: I know. I saw the same newscast. But I didn’t think he would be stupid enough to jump twice.

***
A blonde is terribly overweight, so her doctor put her on a diet. “I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you’ll have lost at least 5 pounds.”

When the blonde returned, she shocked the doctor by losing nearly 20 pounds. “Why, that’s amazing!” the doctor said, “Did you follow my instructions?”

The blonde nodded… “I’ll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that 3rd day.”

“From hunger, you mean?”, asked the doctor.

“No, from skipping.”

***
A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she’s going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls into the bank’s underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the blonde returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, “We are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow $5,000?”

The blonde replied, “Where else in New York can I park my car for two weeks for less than 20 bucks?”

(Finally a “smart blonde” joke, huh?) :-)

world’s thinnest books

Posted on 14 Jul 2007 at 12:12 pm | 4 comments so far

During our week of “forced vacation” - a gift we would not have given ourselves (we don’t normally give gifts that expensive!!!) - we got some extra, much-needed rest and did some little jobs around Jim and Meg’s house that they don’t normally have time for. We also got in some extra reading. For those especially who don’t have time to read books as long as War and Peace or the unabridged version of Les Misérables, here’s a list of books that, because of their subject matter, are all *extremely* short.

WARNING - Almost anything that one could poke fun at is probably found in this list. Laugh at the things you find amusing, and skip over the rest, knowing that others may be skipping over what you’ve just laughed at! I have even left in some that make fun of things dear to me! 8-)

For those interested in an update after our accident…

After getting our car back late in the morning yesterday (Friday the 13th), Becka and I drove back home to Greenville, arriving at about 12:20 this morning.

We really appreciated the cheerfulness and the help of the guys in the body shop at Dorian Ford in Clinton Twp, MI, as they repaired all the damage done under our car by the concrete in the road. My main contact person there was Allen Vukmirovich, the body shop foreman - a really nice guy who worked hard in our behalf. Thanks, Allen! (His picture is below.)

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Megan, Jim, and Drew, and we miss them already. But, as always, it is nice to be back home. We were surprised when we figured it up that we have been able to spend three whole weeks this summer with Megan and her family!

Our 700-mile “test drive” of our repaired car went well, except for a couple of traffic jams that added a total of an hour to our trip. (A tip for anyone considering a drive south on I-75 through Lexington, KY - plan some delay into your trip. Because of road destruction, three lanes are narrowed to two lanes between mile markers 111 and 109, right about where I 64 goes off to the east. The 5-mile traffic back up began at mile marker 116.) Fortunately we had just stopped for gas and dinner a couple of miles before that.

We spent so much time simply enjoying our grandson Drew, that we suddenly realized that we had taken hardly any pictures! We snapped off some desperate, last-minute pictures before leaving. Here are several:

Drew is almost as long as this section of the Pack ‘n Play now!

Drew is almost as long as this section of the Pack 'n Play now!

We tried to get some smiles out of him as we said goodbye outside … finally with success!

Come on, Peanut, smile for us!

Grandma's really working on it

We miss his smile already!

We miss that little smile very much already!
