Poor Mrs. Murry

I saw this letter posted by an online friend of mine, a letter to poor Mrs. Murry about all the fun her husband has while out shopping. I thought you would enjoy reading it too, so here it is!

Dear Mrs. Murry,

Our store is considering banning your family from ever shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics. Below is a list of offences over the past few months all verified by our surveillance cameras.

Re: Complaints

15 Things Mr. Wayne Murry has done while his spouse is shopping:

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in House wares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to tampons section.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, "Code 3" in house wares..... and watched what happened.
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and asked to put a bag of M&M's on lay-by.
6. September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the shoppers he'd invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.
8. September 23: When a clerk asks if they can help him, he begins to cry and asks, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"
9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, picked his nose, and ate it.
10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department asked the clerk if he knows where the antidepressants are.
11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.
12. December 6: In the auto department, practised his "Madonna look" using different size funnels.
13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browse through, yelled "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"
14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker he assumes the foetal position and screams "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!
15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"

I think Mrs. Murry in this story has to be fictional!

Only ten more shopping days until Christmas Day..... are you having fun yet?

Is it Spring Time?

It feels like it right now but I won't be fooled by Mother Nature! I still have my warm boots in the entry way and my warm coat is newly washed.

The wind is blowing and the snow is melting so I am keeping an eye on the trash I just hauled to the end of the driveway. The last big wind our Pastor told his neighbor down the hill from him to just keep his garbage can and he would keep his neighbor up the street's garbage can.

The trees will be newly decked out with plastic bags and whatever else gets tangled up in them along the highway. I thought that would be a funny coffee table book for someone to create. Suggested title: Windy Days and Where Did Your Trash Go?

Today we will be going to Doug's workplace and enjoying watching the Grandkids seeing Santa Claus and whatever else has been planned for them there. I am excited about it. I will bring my camera.

Got all your Christmas shopping done yet? I have a good start on it but I am not done. Hopefully all my online purchases will show up before the day, but if not... that's okay too.
