Overheard Grandpa Zeke Saying.....

Overheard Grandpa Zeke talking with a neighbor,

"Adolescence is a period of rapid changes", Grandpa Zeke said, "Between

the ages of 12 and 17, for example, parents have been known to age as much as

twenty years".

Overheard Grandpa Zekesaying......

as Granny was putting some steaks on the outdoor grill.......

"You know this ole world has surely changed.  It's something' else

now for sure.  Why, use to be you went to the bathroom outside and cooked

your meals inside, now we're cooking outside and going tot he bathroom on

the inside".

OVERHEARD GRANDPA ZEKE SAYING........

"You know something!  When we get up yonder to Heaven, when we get that white raiment on, we ain't even gwin to have it dry cleaned.  That's right!  There ain't gonna be no spots and there ain't gonna be no wrinkles.  We can go through all eternity with that white rainment on and never have it dry-cleaned.  There won't never be a laundry bill up there.  Thank you, Jesus!  Thank you Jesus! "

Never was a cowboy who couldn't be throwed! "
