Do you remember the 70’s?  If you don’t, would you like to meet the 1970’s?  What better way to enjoy your Saturday than by doing the Hustle!  I wonder if this is one of the all time favorite dances!  What a dance craze!  It defined the 70’s.  I remember a sleep over at my friends - the highlight of the evening was when her older sister (old enough to go dancing at the discos) came over and taught us all “The Hustle!”  We were sooooooo cool!  So, take it away 1970’s!  Enjoy!

“Do the Hustle”

My daughters went to golf lessons and came home trying to yodel - go figure.  One of my daughters, also, meditated on the roof of the golf cart!  Hmmmmm, you’ve gotta love those golf lessons!  Anyway, let’s segue back to the topic of yodeling.  They came home trying to yodel and apparently one of the other girls had learned to yodel from this video!  Should add some pep to your summer!  Enjoy!

How to Yodel

Welcome to “How To”  week on Pearls and Chocolate!  I know, I know, that summer can get a little long, can’t it!  So, right here, in the middle of the summer we will have “How to”  week and learn some fun, easy things to do!  So, let’s get on with our “middle of the summer” pick me up!

My daughter was busy with yarn, one day.  I couldn’t figure out what she was doing.  She showed me that she was finger knitting.  Can you believe that?  The only supplies you need are your fingers and yarn.  Even though it is hot outside, winter will be here before we know it.  So, now is the time to make a nice warm scarf.  If you want to wear a finger scarf now, choose a fun, festive light weight yarn (at the craft or fabric store they can recommend a fun light weight yarn) and wrap it loosely around your neck!  And now, Finger Knitting.  Enjoy!

The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, “Hello.”
 

“Mrs. Ward, please.”
 

“Speaking.”
 

“Mrs. Ward, this is Doctor Jones at the Medical Testing Laboratory. When your doctor sent your husband’s biopsy to the lab yesterday, a biopsy from another Mr. Ward arrived as well, and we are now uncertain which one is your husband’s. Frankly the results are either bad or terrible”
 

“What do you mean?” Mrs. Ward asks nervously.
 

“Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer’s, and the other one tested positive for AIDS. We can’t tell which your husband’s is.”
 

“That’s dreadful! Can’t you do the test again?” questioned Mrs. Ward.
 

“Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests one time.”
 

“Well, what am I supposed to do now?”
 

“The people at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don’t sleep with him.”

With the rising cost of fuel, airlines are increasing their fairs.  As you know, they are beginning to charge for things that once were part of the regular service.  Before we know it, they will be charging us for everything that was once standard - oh, wait, maybe they are…

A man walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check. He marched straight up to the counter and said, ‘Hi.  You know, I just HATE drawing welfare.  I’d really rather have a job.’The social worker behind the counter said, ‘Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You’ll have to drive around in his Mercedes, and he’ll supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You’ll be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips and you will have to satisfy her sexual urges. You’ll be provided a two-bedroom apartment above the garage. The salary is $200,000 a year.’The guy, wide-eyed, said, ‘You’re teasing me!’The social worker said, ‘Yeah, well . . . you started it.’
